The concept of Legends makes it sound like Activsion tried. But the actual execution sounds really poor.

I think if they had started work on Legends directly after Goldeneye Wii instead of porting Reloaded they would have had more time to balance and polish the game. But they were at a disadvantage because they wanted to put in different bond films, but could only use Craig so could not put in clips to recap people before important scenes. Like the reviews say you are supposed to remember what happened in some 60s movie before entering a level.

I know you would probably find something like this to be a nightmare with your "Finish it and File it away" kind of gameplay philosophy, Aspro --BUT-- you should also be able to appreciate this somewhat too... Check this out. This is an in-game FLOWCHART of ALL the possible endings for Virtue's Last Reward (the sequel to 999):

The game is getting outrageous player reviews and so far IGN has given it a great, great review too. To really appreciate WHY it is so great, you need to have gotten the "Best" ending to 999, but I intend to do so soon. Virtue's Last Reward is one of "those" types of games we won't see all too often!

I finally beat Bit Trip Runner.

Feels good.

I can't stop laughing at that vision.

Seriously man, it felt like someone had right hooked me in the temple, I was seeing stars. I have two red dots above my eye and it swelled up. A fridge door!

Sods law also determined that I did not sleep at all fell asleep for 20 minutes then randomly woke up at 6 am for a runny number 2.

So heads up, there is a Japanese and American nintendo direct today, with conflicting info saying it's 3DS only, some saying the Japanese one has Wii U stuff too.

There is a Euro Nintendo direct tomorrow.

But IGN Wii U says that they have some good Wii U coverage today and that they think that Wii U has its first must have game. They say there is no new news or announcements from them today, so it must be new coverage of games we already know about.

Pachter: Wii U sales estimates

I guess we all have to give Nintendo an early congratulations for hitting their goal. Patch has never been right on anything regarding Nintendo. So assuming his trend continues here, they are gold.

Geoff Keighley is often described as an industry leader. A games expert. He is one of the most prominent games journalists in the world. And there he sits, right there, beside a table of snacks. He will be sitting there forever, in our minds. That's what he is now. And in a sense, it is what he always was. As Executive Producer of the mindless, horrifying spectacle that is the Spike TV Video Game Awards he oversees the delivery of a televisual table full of junk, an entire festival of cultural Doritos.


How many games journalists are sitting beside that table?
