A lot of nerds are pretty upset over the stock photo they used for Tali's face. Personally, I think it's funny and a little sad that people even care that much to notice.

In terms of story, yes. Combat and game play is a natural progression from ME2.

Yeah it definitely has a Mass Effect 1 vibe to it. I'm not upset but I do hope to run into Jacob, Miranda, Thane, or Mordin soon. Also... a slight spoiler 3-4ish hours in:

Should have a solid 5+ hours of Mass Effecting ahead of me without any girlfriends or other obligations to distract me! Let's get to this, Shep.

9.5 IGN, A from 1UP, "Yes" from Kotaku (??), 8.5 from Destructoid.

Maybe Connor goes for tea with the Queen??

I'll agree to that. Some games, that didn't NEED the Wii Remote, like NSMBW, could have used Classic Controller support.

NSMBWii works fine with the Wii Remote. Don't really get how you can call it a "shitty controller" since, it changed the entire industry. If you don't like it, that's fine, but you're really missing out on a lot of fantastic games.

Much like Dean, I'm not American, and I'm not much of a fan of America, and I was not raised in a stars n stripe nappy (what's a nappy??). I flew over the Grand Canyon on my way to Mexico, and that was about as much as I ever wanted out of America. If you read a few pages earlier, I explicitly mentioned that Canadian history, for me, is much more interesting, and Canada and it's people would make for a more interesting setting than 18th century eastern USA. However, this still looks awesome. It doesn't look "America FUCK YEAH" at all, they already mentioned you'll be killing both British and Americans. Dull plotline? We don't know what the plotline is. The setting is unique, probably more unique than pre-industrial Japan. We've been there, even in recent years, we've been there. Ninja's have been done. Colonial America? Not so much.

There was a lot more on the Wii than just Mario and Zelda (though, those games were fantastic). I've mentioned it before, but I think they did a much better job supporting the Wii than they did with the GCN or N64 (except for, you know, 2011 and 2012!).

Because it's Nintendo and I have the money.

Confirmed for Wii U. I'll be picking up the console at launch, so I'll hold off on whether I'll play it on Wii U or PS3. If it offers a graphical boost on Wii U, it'll be worth it, but if the Wii U has a real strong launch, it might just be best to get it on PS3. Time will tell.

I'm really curious to see how the free running in the trees will work. Can you climb any tree? When you get up there, are their specific paths you have to follow?

Awesome!!!!

Sounds like I'm finally getting that sequel to Red Dead Redemption that I've been asking for. Also: I love how a week ago that poll had 1 vote for Revolutionary America, now it has 4. Cheaters!

I just finished season ("series") 5 and 6. Matt Smith is a delight to watch. Karen Gillan is somehow even more attractive in season 6 (HOW?!!?!). I preferred the overall plot of season 5 to season 6, but I felt on an episode to episode basis, season 6 was stronger. Now, time to watch from the (sort of) beginning with season 1 and the 9th Doctor.

I was just agreeing with you. Seriously?

I never heard of anyone's SNES failing, back in the day. In fact most of them still run today.

Yeah that's a good point, actually. Gamers tend to be better with technology, so they're likely to spend more time on the internet. Which, obviously, brings out the worst of people.

Sexism, racism, homophobia, and just plain douchebaggery is a problem in all of gaming culture. I've seen it on this message board... someone talking about "fags" in Mass Effect, or a prominent poster describing a woman as a "slut/bitch" in his status update. While the majority of us are respectful, thoughtful, and normal intelligent people, there will always be jerks. Sadly, it just seems like there's more of it in gaming. Personally, I think it's a sub-section of people who use gaming as a way to avoid real life, due to a lack of social skills.

SO AWESOME. Who needs buildings, right??? Those look like American settlers. They better watch out!!

Someone can't realize they're gay part way into life?

I'd argue that Brotherhood was the best Assassin's Creed to date. But they've already said that this game was in development as soon as they finished AC2. And we already know they got a lot of development help from other Ubisoft studios on ACR (just watch the credits).
