Three words: Steam Christmas Sale.
And "journalists" are born.
Finally- someone with an IQ above 10 and common sense to boot.
You're right- backs-against-the-wall Nintendo is FUCKING AWESOME.
How exactly did you purchase a WiiU WITHOUT knowing it's specs? Plus, I'm failing to see the link between solid software experiences and hardware bulletpoints... *??*
There's no denying that the WiiU is in a precarious position. I bought mine at launch, really enjoyed it, then unhooked it to take to a friend's place and subsequently left it sit... until a few days ago. I finished the latter half of ZombiU and forgot HOW MUCH I LOVED A SECOND SCREEN. Splitting your concentration between them in addition to deliberate gameplay(a la Dark Souls) gives me hope for Nintendo's hardware. Actually, I DON'T WANT a lot of the third-party multiplats be...
4000k resolution?? Holy GAWD
PlayStation 3- meet Auron. Auron- meet PlayStation 3. I think you'll find that you have a lot in common.
Do we still need reviews of emulated games?
Where's Guild Wars 2? It should be at the top of the list at $60 as it equals out to what? A nickel per hour with no monthly commitment!?
@Oh_Yeah
Excellent original point.
The road to Hell is paved with used game intentions.
What's up with this Houston Press Blog and splitting up article pages for multiple hits? Arrrrrrgh
You don't think that Will Friedle couldn't do a decent job? After all, Terry McGuiness WAS genetically reprogrammed to BE Bruce Wayne, after all. Plus, he sounds... "inexperienced".
Oh, and I really liked the LEGO Batman 2: DCSH Joker. I could buy in.
Actually, this smacks of elitist games press feeling a bit butthurt that Nintendo doesn't think enough of them to herd them all into a gigantic theater and make them feel like they're important. So, they write a few articles about how wrong the decision is and... BOOM! The entire gaming internet decides to follow suit because they spend 90% of their conversations parroting what they heard someone who they deem to be of high repute in the "media" say instead of rationally for...

So, games like BioShock Infinite aren't immersive because they're on an *underpowered* current-gen CPU? I'm having difficulty believing that. We should just abandon all of this crop of consoles/software after Fall, then?
Maybe, on paper, the new box specs are 8x as powerful, but (A) you and I both know that's most certainly NOT how technology works and (B) we'll be lucky to see games that perform THREE TIMES as well as late cur...
Holy crap- a bunch of Wii games that I was curious about but never wanted to spend the dough on...
Red Steel 2 + Ghost Squad + Tenchu Shadow Assassin + DeBlob + No More Heroes 2 + We Love Golf! = $24USD plus tax!?
Tomorrow is payday, so guess where I'll be nice and early... *??*
How the hell could having your WiiU Gamepad as a Pip-Boy not be part of the cool-factor? Oh, gawd- wait a minute. A special WiiU bundle with an actual Pip-Boy colored/themed pad? *drool*

Generally, I'd agree with you about the over-the-top violence. It's funny at first, but is ultimately valueless. That being said, firing a Garden Gnome out of the Rock-it Launcher and watching the impact NEVER got old for me. 8)
I'm hoping not. Actually, a little MORE Metroid injected into the Arkham series as a whole would be a great thing.
I dunno, but they'd better announce a return to the pinnacle of the series, FF9.
