Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (9.0) SUPERB! Review

Videogamer Evolve Review 6/10
Evolve should have been great. It isn't. Worse still is that its core idea feels as if it has been undermined by over-complication and, more disappointingly, the worst practices of modern publishing.videogamer.com impressions gamingeek

Ars Reviews 3DS XL
"hold off on dropping $200 to refresh your hardware for the time being " (If you already have an XL)arstechnica.com impressions aspro
As good as that looks I really didn't need my genres mixed this time. Its not like we're swamped with dungeon crawlers and we need a change of pace. Plus Persona Q is going to pretty much fill my need for OA games for a while.
Anyone enthousiastic for Ubisoft's Grow Home? When I first heard about it, I couldn't be bothered, but I must admit it looks spectacular in its own way. I'm not going to try and explain it here, but I'm getting a certain Mario vibe from this in that it's a game where different mechanics and tools work in tandem to create oppertunities for fun, instead of creating scenario's.
It's like a $10 3d platformer that is short and has heart apparently.

I am interested in it.
My thoughts exactly. Seems like they got the pricing just right. Of course, actually getting around to buying and playing it will be a whole other matter.

Do you have them in your hands yet. Love to know more impressions.
NOT the kind of thing to say to Edgecrusher. Be more specific, God only knows what he's holding at the moment.
Evolve seems to be getting better reviews that I expected. It was getting crapped on for a while in a lot of previews. Oh well, I won't be playing it, but it's nice to see someone trying something new that works.
Well after looking at Sega's future plans I'm more convinced than ever that we'll never see another game from Atlus that doesn't have the words Etrian Oddessey or Persona in it again.

Look at the upside. With things going as they are going now for Sega, they themselves will be for sale in a few years time. Not sure how funny and ironic I mean that to be.

– SEGA spent $210 million on games development
– That is a 27 percent increase compared to the year prior
– Advertising expenses climbed 53 percent, up to $73 million
– SEGA is releasing 50 games by the end of the financial year in March, but combined sales of all those are expected to be about 5.4 million units
– SEGA initially expected to sell about 300,000 units of its four latest Wii U games
– That is now revised to 230,000, making it the weakest platform in terms of unit sales
– Full year expectations for 3DS 1,160,000
– SEGA’s revenue for the three-quarter period was $685 million
– After expenses, that lowers to a profit of $18 million
– SEGA is now organizing a sweeping business restructure, which will rebuild the corporation into three divisions, as part of a wider plan to “drastically improve profitability”
– At least 300 positions at the corporation are targeted for redundancy
– SEGA has set aside $125 million for the restructure costs
My mouse and Keyboard were getting kind of old so I figured, why not upgrade?
So I got the Blackwidow Chroma Stealth Keyboard and the Ouroboros Wireless mouse. Expensive, but damn are they nice.
Good luck, GG!
The perfect gift for the man who needs to game and rave at the same time.
That mouse looks like tha batmobile
