I feel the same way here with retail, there's no support, no demo units, no games in the shops. ...

To this day I still have not seen a Wii U in person.  No store displays.

You're not kidding. Now that we have Pokemon, that damned handheld is getting really hard to find. I think I'm going to have to break down and get a 2DS for the kids and let them fight it out.

I'm not sure if I'll be glad or annoyed when my nephews get old enough to game. They'll try and purloin my old systems but Mario Kart will be so much better.

I know that I'm not getting gta v yet because of the HDD install but what about everyone else? Is everyone waiting on PC or next gen versions? Seems like only 2 people picked up this monster seller here?

I have every 3D GTA game ever released until before V (including the PSP ones).  I hardly played any of them and finished none.  The only GTA game I finished (and loved every minute of) was Chinatown Wars.  Until they do another one in that vein, I'm staying away.

Not for me I guess.  Just couldn't enjoy them

Bugs do you not care for the genre or is it just GTA? Did you play/like Red Dead Redemption?

I played about 20 hours of RDR.  I was sort of enjoying it at some point but then I kind of became disinterested.  Always thought I would go back to play it properly but haven't felt like it yet.

Also tried Saints Row 2.  I thought it was fun at the beginning but also just kind of lost interest.  

I guess these games feel to me kind of shalow and also like they're spread out a little too thin for the sake of "massive content" and variety.  When I have such limited gaming time I want it all to count.

Perfect for a valentines day card. Cage is a dirty pervert, what's the point of these nude scenes. And this one was locked away, page is going to be pissed.

GAF on Nosgoth:

Finally, I had the chance to play the game. Nosgoth is a third-person deathmatch game of sorts, set in the era between Soul Reaver’s intro sequence, and the resurrection of Raziel. Each round consists of two matches: in the first match Team A play the vampires, and Team B play the humans, and vice versa in the second match. Both sides goal is to kill each other, as you might expect from the genre. If you are interested, I can describe the experience of playing each side:

Humans: My favourite faction. Humans come in (so far) three classes, and all use projectile weapons. They have supers such as spawning walls of flames, or binding vampires in launched manacles. They have comparatively little health compared to their vampire counterparts, but can recharge their health at multiple healing sites within each level. The best strategy we seemed to work out, was to keep the humans together, and move round as a team picking off overconfident vampires from a distance.

Vampires: Tough units who make up for their lack of projectiles with brute force. They have far more exotic abilities than the humans – stealth, flight, running up walls to name a few. They have a lot of health, but can only regain lost points by drinking blood out of human corpses. This leads to an interesting dynamic in which vampires race to the same corpse, creating tension in the overpowered team that contrasts the harmony of the human faction.


We only played rounds in two environments, and I developed a fondness for two units in particular: The Sisters of Anacrothe – A cult of pyromancers who can turn the environment into fields of vampire-burning fire; and the Turelim – a brute force vampire unit that charges into battle with its human-crushing bulk. I started seeing hints at deeper strategies, such as vampires pouncing out on humans near the human healing sites, and humans keeping watch on corpses, and taking down vampires who tried to feed on the blood within.


Despite little experience with the genre, our team won. I definitely had fun with it.


As the day drew to a close, we were given the chance to give some direct feedback to the developers. Some things they couldn’t tell us, but a repeated point was that they hoped the free to play model of the game would allow considerable expansion if it was successful. I can’t remember all the raised points, but a recurring concern from the fans was the need for more visual imagery that echoed the rest of the series: more familiar locations, vampire clan symbols, etc. A really good point raised by a fellow fan was for the inclusion of female vampires in the ranks. Unfortunately at this point I had a train to catch, and had to leave a short time before all the other attendees.
