  1. They're sending the game to die, just like the last one. By September everyone will probably be looking forward to an inevitable new console release and a little game called Grand Theft Auto 5 releases the same month. I've also heard that Nintendo was gearing up to spend some $$$ promoting this game so now they're left completely high&dry. The game will end up selling like shit and Ubi will simply decide to bury the franchise again instead of admitting that their greed made it bomb. I probably would have bought it this month but by September I know for sure that I'm not going to care.
  2. Come on guys, you're not into Illumiroom? ''Microsoft Research has taken the wraps off IllumiRoom, an augmented reality, peripheral projection technology that could be one of the key features of the Xbox 720 or Kinect 2.0. By combining a Kinect camera and a projector, IllumiRoom augments the area around your television to increase immersion in the game you’re playing or the movie you’re watching. '' http://www.extremete...-killer-feature You didn't think Kinect was the end, did you? They're gonna make you beg for a return to the days of Wiimotes and tablet controllers.

      Main issue I see is that Bishop and Knight pieces have different poses which would make things confussing.

  3. I just returned 007 Legends to Gamefly. Terrible, terrible game. I really liked Eurocoms Goldeneye remake but this one played like a 2nd rate PS2 shooter. Sloppy controls, sloppy AI, sloppy forced stealth mechanic. Ugh, one of the worst games I've ever played.
  4. If media didn't affect people then advertisers wouldn't spend billions on advertising. Consciously or not everything we take in has an affect on us. One thing that I've yet to see mentioned is that most of the mass shooters in the past decade have been either on or withdrawaling from anti-depressants. 5 of the top 10 legal drugs linked to violence, whether suicide or homocide, are anti-depressants. ''Subsequently, mass shootings and other violent incidents started to be reported. More often than not, the common denominator was that the shooters were on an antidepressant, or withdrawing from one. This is not about an isolated incident or two but numerous shootings. The question is, during the past twenty years is the use of antidepressants here a coincidence or a causation? There have been too many mass shootings for it just to be a coincidence. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed twelve students and a teacher at Columbine High School. Eric was on Luvox, an antidepressant. The Virginia Tech shooter killed thirty-two people and he was on an antidepressant. While withdrawing from Prozac, Kip Kinkel murdered his mother and stepmother. He then shot twenty-two classmates and killed two. Jason Hoffman wounded five at his high school while he was on Effexor, also an antidepressant. James Holmes opened fire in a Colorado movie theater this past summer and killed twelve people and wounded fifty-eight. He was under the care of a psychiatrist but no information has been released as to what drug he must have been on.'' http://www.cchrflorida.org/blog/antidepressants-are-a-prescription-for-mass-shootings/ ''
  5. They are also planning on finally integrating the Virtual Console with the U eshop. Releases will feature play on the gamepad, miiverse integration and save states.
  6. An HD remake of Wind Waker is coming later this year as a stop-gap release until the new Zelda hits- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2zNExmEuA
  7. New game from the creators of Xenoblade Chronicles- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsRSkBTBwyM
  8. Finally joined the 21st century and bought a blu-ray player.

      I still have a VCR and a VCR/Dvd player combo that are both hooked up.

      I still play and record VHS tapes, although I do have a DVD player.

      The only DVD player I ever use is my PS2, but we have a portable Disney DVD player for road trips.

  9. Nintendo should ditch the white model, nobody wants it. Take out NintendoLand and drop the black one to $300 or so and have just the one basic model available.
  10. It's a pretty fun game, perfect to play in short bursts. The giant enemies also appeal to my inner Earth Defense Force fandom. I'd love a full blown game with this type of gameplay ala Battletanx meets EDF.

      A lot of dumbass parents actually believe that.

      Wouldn't go that far, but you'll damn well follow my rules in my house...

  12. I'm surprised that James gets such hate considering the fact that half of the entire Youtube game commentator base owes their very existence to him. That would be like bagging on Mark from Classic Game Room. If it weren't for those guys most wouldn't have their dopey wannabe Youtube channels.
  13. Maybe Nintendo just got better at supplying. I've read that the U sold 1.8 million already whereas the Wii did about 2 million at the same point (4 weeks) into its life so it's not being outpaced that much.
  14. Lost in Shadow, which I think is $10 new on Amazon. It's a neat little action/puzzle game with an aesthetic that is like Ico combined with Limbo.
  15. Rise from your grave! I just got into Skylanders and I've got to say it's pretty awesome. The wife and I dropped about $100 just on extra figures, not even including the starter set. I always thought the premise was kind of silly but I just got the idea of buying this game stuck in my head. The figures are neat and they completely bring me back to being a kid and collecting stuff like M.U.S.C.L.E.

      I think it was "Congraturation!"

  17. I've been playing this console too much lol. I haven't been this into games since probably the N64 era. I don't know what it is exactly but there's just something I really love about this console.
  18. Spoiler warning- Bowser is massive, almost as big as the screen and Bowser JR hovers around him in his little propeller ship. You need to avoid attacks from Bowser, and knock JR out of his ship when he lands, then you fly that onto Bowsers head.
  19. It's hard for me to say exactly how hard it is because my platforming skills suck lately but I definitely had a harder time with it than the Wii and 3DS New Super Mario games. And I just played straight through, I got almost no star coins and there's about half a dozen shortcuts I need to open up. A seasoned Mario player could probably blow through it but I was watching my stock of extra lives completely evaporate during the last couple worlds lol.
  20. I need to get T!T!T! (or T Cubed as the wife calls it). As a fan of Earth Defense Force it looks right up my alley. I really don't have a favorite per se but I have been playing a lot of Ninja Gaiden, Darksiders 2, and Mass Effect 3 ate 25 hours of my life. I did beat New Super Mario U yesterday and had a blast doing so.
  21. One thing I haven't seen is what size, if any, internal memory this thing has. You can still save games, right?
  22. From what I understand, not only was a Wii U version of Epic Mickey a last minute decision but they gave a team with no U experience almost no time to get it done. Multiplats/ports that had effort put into them like Assassins Creed, Sonic All Stars or Mass Effect run beautifully.
  23. I'm not a hardcore NG player so the only insight I can offer is that I was bored with the 'vanilla' NG3 after an hour however I've been playing this version every night for the past week. Just based on my limited time with the original the games feel like the difference between night and day. While I preferred NG2 due to the level design and enemy variety, Razors Edge is certainly what NG3 should have originally been.
  24. It certainly doesn't disappoint me, this console has eaten my life. I've played more in the past week than I've played in a year and the gamepad has replaced my laptop. I don't want to be 'that guy' but how bloody spoiled are we that an hour long update on space age technology is an insurmountable task? Holy first world problems.
