This is Nintendo's new commercial for the Wii U. They should have released it last year because now nobody should be confused if it is an add-on for the Wii or not.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
So there are these Charlie missions in Splinter Cell Blacklist, you face wave after wave of enemies. So I beat the second mission, went to the extraction point, only it wasn't the extraction point. It was the continue point. I faced wave after neverending wave of enemies. After 100 plus kills there was no end in sight. I died and the game gave me no credit, no cash, no achievement, it didn't even register the level as complete. What a waste of 2 hours.
Nokia Lumia phones are good Steelo, Windows 8 on it are great. The 610 and above are good, avoid the 510.
My wife and I love our iPhones, but they are definitely not for everyone.
I'd pick one if they weren't so damn expensive over here.
I was shown the Lumia 625 GG and I liked it well enough, but unfortunately they only had a yellow one.
Do you not have deals on iPhones if you get a contract?
Yeah, we do. But it depends on the plan, of course. Best phones come with the best deals with the priciest plans. With my current plan I'd have to pay easily over 300 dollars if I wanted an iPhone. They're kind of expensive here.
PS 4 is widely available, now is time to act if you want one, Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, other places It's in stock online everywhere. as I ypyed this it's selling out again, but it was instock all day yesterday. Few of them in now but it's going.
You can easily replace the back cover, they just pop out. Considering what the 625 does, it's great value for money, my bro has an iphone 4 and was well impressed by my lumia. It's very user friendly too.
Not owning an Xbox One alone is reason to celebrate

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileJust completed Splinter Cell, that was awesome. Love this game. 67% Ghost.
NES Remix is really cool and clearly not for everyone. It is mostly like a wario ware title as you jump into very short missions and go for the best time. So far the first batch of levels I have are kind of crappy cause it is all the pre SMB stuff. Its amazing how different games became after SMB. We should spilt the game history into BSM, Before Super Mario and ASM, After Super Mario.
Also this deseperately needs other companies to join in, You can't have an NES Remix without the companies that help make the NES successful.
I just finished Burial At Sea (part 1). Wow!
Wow? I wouldn't use that word but ok. Glad you liked it.
Papers Please is $5 on steam right now, still waiting for a bigger drop.
I played about 2-3 hours of Tearaway, sadly I am disappointed. It has all the charm, beauty, great music and innovative features that I would expect from a MM game. It is missing compelling level design and any semblance of a challenge which is strange cause LBP had that in abundance. It mostly resembles that old school collect a thon platformers, you walk around large areas that have hidden collectables around. It is more linear where you are always moving forward toward a goal, to go back to collect everything you will have to warp to a previous warp point. The problem for me is that all the concepts so far are being used in such basic ways, like use your fingers to create platforms for Iota, no need to do this with any kind of timing it is simply an obstacle in the way with your finger being the key. A lot of NPCs as for some goal to be done before they give you a present but a bunch of times all they ask is that you draw something for them like a moustache. Exploration is not that rewarding as it is rare where you will see an item that you cant figure out how to get to, so far its just about staying observant, there is nothing near as complex as finding stars in Mario or the collecting in Banjo.
I am hoping the second half of the game picks up the challenge considerably cause it has felt like I have been in a giant tutorial for over 2 hours.
A friend of mine finished it and he told me the whole game is too easy so I don't think you will find any more of a challenge in the second half. He was won over by the charm and the clever ideas of it but I think deep down he was also disappointed for the reasons you mentioned. I think more and more people will go back to raise the criticisms you did once the honeymoon is over and the rosy glasses are off. A bit like every LBP after the first one which got great reviews upon release but in time people realised they weren't actually very good games

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
As I was playing it I kept wondering, "when do we get to Castlevania and Ghosts'n'Goblins?"
The early response seems positive and it seems like a lot of people have bought it so far, so I think it's safe to say we will see a NES Remix II. Hopefully they'll invited Capcom and Konami to come along for the ride next time.
I'll pretend you didn't say that last line. LBP is an excellent game.
