Had an amazing game on Killzone 2, harking back to my performances of yore. I had an incredibly extreme dizzy spell where I couldn't see the television, it seemed as if I was sinking through the armchair, and I still killed two people and two flying turrets and didn't even die ffs.

Disconnected on the final round. Sad

Can't fuckin believe it.  I was at their came when they creamed the Kansas City Chiefs.  I was sure the Broncos were going to go all the way this year ... and so was everyone else there.  Still in shock.

I started playing Uncharted 3 last night, couple chapters only. I also found that my MP level from the beta carried over. I don't think I even remember how to play anymore.

When did this happen, we were hoping you would show up to play some U3. There is football tonight so if I play it is late late night.

Last night, at about 10 or 11 pm I think.

I started Uncharted 3 a few days before Christmas then I left it when I went to the US.  I must admit I wasn't feeling it so much during those first couple of chapters.  The story was same old same old, the setting nothing special, and worst of all ... something about the gunfights seemed a little bit off.  Did they tamper with it somehow since U2?  I was finding the aiming feeling not quite right and I never had such a problem with U2 or even U1.  Maybe I need to try customising the controls.

I was planning on making a fresh start again after supper las night but I made the mistake of connecting to PSN after months off and it wanted to do a bunch of updates to the game before letting me play.  Needless to say I fell asleep on the settee before the updates were near complete.  Oh well, I hope it was at least something to improve the game.

So I decided I will be getting DmC. There is a BB deal where you get RE6 for $10 if you buy DmC and my friend wants RE6 so I will buy DmC so he can get the deal. I may sell the game back as it isnt something I want to keep.

Its not you, the aiming was horrible in U3. They had to patch it, its gotten better but it is no U2.

Wait...what?

AC3 is getting better, still some crazy design choices like having to fast travel several times to get to a location, enduring 3 loading sequences for instance. Graphics look better with high contrast lighting. Finally got my suit.

Still can't say it's anywhere as good as ac2 but it's still good despite the annoying little things. Some of the interface elements are mind boggling. You would think the splinter cell team would help them out with the stealth elements.

Who gives a fuck if a sword can swing 9 directions? My god..I sliced a tree at 2 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock. Revolution!

Please tell me why I have to use waggle to steer a bird instead of an analog stick. Please tell me why I have to use an N64-like camera system.

Enemies require specific sword swipes, it is used all over the game.

I had no clue you were playing this, I started to play it today too. Figured I would finally finish my hard playthrough. I LOVE the motion controls and I hope the next one uses it. But I agree steering with it is incredibly stupid.

Yeah I needed to start something new, and said to myself "holy fuck...I still have not played Skyward Sword!" So I started it up almost on impulse. I'm not that far in...just got to the dungeon in the woods. I am liking it quite a bit so far, some of the characters in this game put Tingle to shame in the weird category. I'm just not a fan of the Wiimote for 3rd-person adventure style games like this. I'd rather have more traditional controls (augmented by the Gamepad's touchscreen hopefully) any day of the week.

I've started to see what you mean with some of the enemies requiring you to do certain moves, which is cool but I'd still rather have a dual analog setup.

Some of the areas are really cool looking to the point where I wish this game was designed on the Wii U in high detailed HD. If it didn't have the Wii hardware holding it back, it could have looked incredible.

Well the Pats still have some tough teams to play before that happens. And we'll see if the 49ers can beat the Seahawks...if they make it past Atlanta. All the remaining teams are the type the Pats have trouble with; defensive minded teams.

Even if you're not a Pats fan though, you gotta admit...they really have become probably the most impressive football franchise ever. Brady has been to the Super Bowl 5 fucking times! That's insane. And they ALWAYS have a quality, winning season, even if they don't go all the way. The last time they had even a remotely average year was when Drew Bledsoe was the quarterback....2000/2001. Even then, they were starting to become a winner. They're the Yankees of football, but they do it with a salary cap.

Yeah, I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as ANY of the previous games...it just feels kind of bland compared to them character and setting-wise. But it does have some great ideas, some great story moments (mostly in the modern times with Desmond) and a good base to build on. Should be interesting to see where they go now.

Agreed. It's still good though, just needs a heck of a lot more polishing imo and better tutorials. The convoy menu system is bewildering.
This month’s EDGE review scores are as follows:

Planetside 2 – 8
DmC Devil May Cry – 8
The Walking Dead – 8
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – 8
Ace of Spades – 4
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward – 7
Uncharted: Fight for Fortune – 5

news:

ONM’s latest issue has started to reach subscribers, but it’s the magazine’s next edition that is receiving greater attention. For its February issue, ONM teases: “Are you scared? You should be… World Exclusive! The first look at a stunning new game.” The teaser page additionally contains art depicting pipework and engineering. Some are now speculating that Resident Evil is on the way to Wii U. Convieniently enough, achievements leaked out last night for a title called Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition. Perhaps Capcom will be bringing this new version to Wii U.

I would love to be able to play that on the U.

Isn't it supposed to be the best RE title since RE4? Though if they say its a NEW game, it couldn't be a 3DS port...right?

Now THIS is the Capcom I know and love:

According to Geno, Capcom will be bringing the series to Wii U with the release of Resident Evil 6: Final Hope. This is pretty much the game’s Gold Edition and, as expected, will come with a brand new scenario. Said scenario stars Claire, and it’s said to be taking place after the events of Resident Evil 6 (perhaps this will set the stage for Resident Evil 7). This edition of the game will also fix bugs and other gameplay issues people had problems with, Geno says. The GamePad will be heavily utilized and you’ll also be able to play the game without having the TV on as well. It wasn’t outright stated that this will be exclusive to Wii U, though.

Remember Resident Evil Revelations being listed as coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360? Yeah, well, Geno says it’s true. This HD Edition will also be coming to Wii U. He didn’t say if there would be any extra content though.

GREAT news in bold. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for...man I hope its true! Not to get greedy, but they need to port over RE5 as well.

That's awesome news.  Glad to see Capcom giving the Wii U some love.  Do you think we could see RE4 on the 3DS?  It's powerful enough to run it, so why not?  I'd love to play it again on the go.
