They've got the fanbase to buy millions of games and the premise seems to be good, as long as they cast the right people and keep the original story instead of shitting on it in most game to movie adaptions.

For those who are still not aware, Steam is doing its usual summer sale, with huge game price reductions. Check it out.

You can also vote for the next game prices reduction.

Already bought Dead Island, LA Noire, Orcs Must Die, Dirt Showdown & Saint Row the Third ... And it's probably not finished

Orc's Must Die is soo good and the sequel comes out in a mere 3 days.

So is anybody else getting increasingly pissed off at Bethesda for the fact that Dawnguard is STILL Xbox exclusive?

The exclusivity agreement was supposedly 30 days. It's been more than a month now. I mean, PS3 I can kind-of understand assuming they have to go through some kind of sony dlc certification process and couldn't start until after the exclusivity agreement expired. But why is it not out for PC yet? Porting it to PC should not be hard, so what's going on?

Here are the official Wii U games' box arts (mostly Ubisoft).

What do you guys think?

 

[Schabrak]

They should have put that Nintendo Network logo within the turquoise Wii U logo frame, less distracting and it's always better to have a logo free cover.

So, which games that are coming out are you guys excited the most for? honestly I cant wait to have Halo 4!!

Borderlands 2

I don't even want to calculate the amount of time I spent on Borderlands 1. It seems like it's going to be almost everything I want in a game. I'm a sucker for loot grinding games but I usually find the actual game-play punishingly monotonous. Diablo 3 was like that for me. The Borderland was the only games that ever completely dodged that proverbial bullet because getting a great gun means so much more. If you get a badass sword in Diablo you do more damage. If you get a badass gun in borderlands often times it will change the very way you play your character.

The only downside is that to story, though better than Diablo 3's by a longshot, was not all that good. This one is supposedly more focused on the dark humor which seems like it should be a step in the right direction. So this game should be an overall improvement one what was already a great game.

Ok so my Xbox 360 has been pretty messed up for quite some time now. I first noticed it when I was watching a DVD and all of a sudden it froze up. At first I thought it was the DVD, but after trying to play some of my games the same thing happened. My 360 is something of a dust magnet, so I did some research and watched some videos on how to clean it. I think I made things worse by doing that. Now it freezes during the start up. I'm at a loss of what to do. Where can I get it fixed? Or is there a way to fix it myself?

PS: It's an elite by the way.

Does anyone play Star Wars The Old republic here? I'm really getting the hang of it, and I was wondering if someone would like to team up or just roll the world a bit...

I did but unfortunately I let my subscription expire like 2 weeks ago. I had all the legacy buffs and everything.

What class are you?

Anyone play the new DLC for Battlefield 3?

I started two classes...it keeps the fun factor on a good enough level...I have a Jedi Knight(cuz my brother took the consular) and an Imperial Agent...next class will probably be a bounty hunter or a smuggler, I'm not sure, yet, cuz I've played the inquisitor already in the beta, and somehow the Trooper and the Sith Warrior have no appeal to me...

My Jedi Knight is level 20 something guardian(tank/dps)...the main fun in the game, besides the main quest is how I keep discovering new things about the game...like how I discovered Reverse Engineering a few days ago

The director of the Resident Evil movies said that they're developing a Monster Hunter movie.

The Japanese release date for the Wii U has been announced: Dec. 8th. You have two choices of packages: the regular, white edition and the premium black edition. The former will have 8 GB while the latter has 32 GB. Likewise the white edition will cost 26,250 yen ($337) and the black one will cost 31,500 yen ($405).

The premium set includes membership to Nintendo Network premium until December 2014, 500 Nintendo Points, a system stand, a Wii U GamePad play stand, and a Wii U GamePad charging stand.

Both bundles include the Wii U gamepad, a HDMI cable to hook the system to a TV, and AC adapters (one for the console, one for the Wii U GamePad). Wii remotes, nunchucks, and the sensor bar needed to use these accessories are not part of the package. Want another Wii U GamePad? Those are sold separately for 13,440 yen ($172).

Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. Wii U will be the launch titles.

Oh, you can transfer VC and WiiWare games to the Wii U.

Here are the specs: the system has 2GB of memory, 1GB for system memory plus 1GB for games. Discs will have up to 25 GB of data and the Wii U has a 22.5 MB/sec disc read rate.

Now we have to wait for the N. American and Europe release dates~

The Wii U games will cost $60.

The President of Nintendo (USA) also stated that you can attach a 3 TB hard drive to the console. He said that since the cost of hard drive is dropping, the consumers can decide what kind of hard drive they want to spend and whatnot.

Oh, the European and Australian release date is Nov. 30th.

I was looking over the Wii U. I don't think I'm likely to get one, at least not at launch. The line up of games isn't "bad" but none of them are must haves for me and I'm not really sure about that controller. So I don't think I'll be laying down $300 just yet.

I think I'm probably more likely to get a Vita actually, if any decent games come out for it.

 

[kkck]

I agree, it does not seem like there are any imminent exceptional games for the wii u upon release. The batman one has been out for a whole for other consoles, no imminent release of nintendo character games (the current mario one does not count) and nothing awesome yet from third party developers. The lineup is not bad, it is simply not awesome.

Bayonetta 2 has been announced as a Wii U exclusive.

There is also Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate too.

What's the difference between the Wii and the new one they're launching?
