That's too bad. I watched a gameplay trailer, and it looked like a decent beat 'em up; a little too over-the-top in the blood department for my taste, but not terrible. Of course, playing is quite different than watching.

Been playing Game & Wario, and have been pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is. One game in particular has given me the first "holy shit" moment with the Wii U.

Remember in the Wii U demo from E3 last year they showed off that demo game called Face Finders? Well they made a game kind of like it called Shutter where use the Wii Pad as a camera. You're given a list of people and you have 3 minutes to find them and take a good picture of them.

Very simple concept, but it can be tricky and its tons of fun. I hope to god some developer sees this and develops a full game around it.

I have my hand in many pots right now.

Just finished this:

Just started this:

And also this:

As well as this:

Dishonored Boxshot

  • Last Of Us was amazing. 9.4 rating from me....need more of this on PS4!
  • Gran Turismo 5 is like GT4 with much better visuals and much better menu interface/online. So its damn good.
  • Xenoblade I am playing as we speak...I am in love with this game. Everything about it is high quality RPG greatness so far.
  • Dishonored is cool but not as good as Thief so far.

I've been playing some Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, some Tekken Revolution, and a whole lotta Gears of War: Judgment. Just recently finished the campaign in Judgment and while it's not as good as Gears 3 it's still a great game. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

Dota 2. I've had a nice string of matches this weekend. For some reason one of the guys in one of those matches thought I was a smurf and now whenever I start the game he PMs me so we can "rape some noobs". I should tell him I am a noob myself but I don't have the heart.

LOL that's brilliant.

I have been all about the eSports lately.  For Dota, season 2 of the Reddit Dota 2 League is fast approaching, and I'm once again both casting and coaching.

Meanwhile, found myself casting some SC2 on Friday for a university showmatch.

I had to do work for much of this weekend so I didn't get much time to play much.  Just a little bit of Luigi's Mansion 2 and a few more levels of NSMBU.  Mario U seems pretty hard, at least for one player, maybe the levels are all geared towards having many players on screen at the same time.

Me too, I never expected to love that game as much as I did. I would buy an HD port in a heartbeat. Where are you now exactly? What I loved was that 65 hours in and the game was dropping bombshells and blowing my mind.

I'm only in the beginning 1st few hours. It just feels like an ultra high quality old school Squaresoft RPG.

If you like Xenoblade I would recommend tracking down the other Xeno titles if you get a PS4....Xenogears on PS1 will definitely be a downloadable game, one of my favorite all time PS1 games. And the Xenosaga Trilogy will hopefully be on there as well, from the PS2 era.

And it only gerts better.

Another game book recoemmendation (not to you, but maybe Robio or Hamster) is a reference book I am reading right now about adventure games.  hardcoregaming101.net

It's a nice walk down Memory Lane, with plenty of new things to learn as well.  I was surprised by how much of the King's Quest series I remembered.

I heard you guy mention this on the GameUnder podcast as well yesterday. I've put it on my Amazon wishlist, so I can remember to pick it up next month. Looks really good. I was going through the list of games they cover and I was amused realized just how many of them I played. Once upon a time this genre was pretty much the only thing I played.

Man, that game was all shades of awesome.  I envy you Edge, I'd sign up to play through that game with no recollection of what happened any time.  I played the game well after completion.  The amount of stuff to do is insane.  If it hadn't been for 'it' happening, I'd have played even more.  If you  care for seeing most of what the game has on offer, I'd advise to work on your team's affinity, and affinity with regions.  I completely neglected those bits, and it totally bit me in the arse when I was trying to reach the last giant king's tomb.

EA VP Frank Gibeau on Wii U support:

It’s been 60 days since we launched Need for Speed Most Wanted on the Wii U. We’ve launched four games. We’re proud of them. They’re in the marketplace and they’re selling. The guys inside the studio are looking at the Wii U tech and they’re looking at the platform. They understand it. As it develops, if there’s an opportunity to publish more games on the Wii U, we’ll do that. We’re not writing it off. We’re not not developing for the Wii U. We’re just watching it, and we’re really focused right now on PS4 and Xbox One, to really nail that transition.

So EA on Wii U is the Watcher:

"One of the oldest species in the universe, committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe. But with a policy of total non-interference."
