I definitely need to start that one up. I'm always so gun-shy on starting up RPGs because they take so long to complete and they're so hard to put down and pick back up again if I stop midway.

Like right now, for instance, I've got Donkey Kong Country coming next Friday, South Park shortly thereafter, and then Dark Souls II like 1 week after that. It's so hard to squeeze an epic like FF XIII-2 in between the stuff I've already got ahead of me. Might have to push that one to the summer months to get through the inevitable lull.

Interesting! I had no idea that Samoas had an alternate identity - or that multiple bakeries made them for that matter. Will file said information somewhere in my brain for future reference.

Did they change the name of Samoas to Caramel DeLites? My world has literally been flipped upside-down.

Nice list! Lots of good titles on there (minus Epic Mickey, like Greenman said, it's no good). If you're looking for a few more suggestions, check out this article on Unsung Wii Games we produced shortly before the Wii U came out.

I've only got a Wii U and I've been very happy with it. There's still very little on the horizon for the X1 and the PS4 that I'm interested in, so I don't see myself grabbing either for the time being.

The big sells for the Wii U for me was the GamePad for Off-TV Play and, of course, Nintendo properties. I think they've produced a number of killer titles already and hopefully the injection of third parties working on first party IPs will really make for a bunch of other titles filling in the release gaps.

Watched you play a bit of this. Seemed interesting, but I can see where you're coming from with the starting over every time bit. That's pretty much the dealbreaker with these types of games for me. Feels like it would eventually ensure I didn't come back for more.

With that in mind, I usually just skip stuff like this entirely.

That's kind of a silly way to look at it. New technology and shifts in consumer demands has shaped and changed gaming. Sony's PS3 and PS4 are a reflection of those changes, much like the 360 was. The only company really clinging to the "good ol' days" is Nintendo and that has provided for some rough times for them.

And honestly, if you feel Microsoft changed gaming negatively, you can't possibly look at the PS4 as something you want then. It's effectively a system built on the strengths and legacy of the 360, not the PS3. Furthermore, you should be happy about Sony's temporary fall from grace. In that time frame they built up a power house of development and expanded their IP dramatically. They are much better placed as a result of it and will benefit going forward.

Truthfully though, you really shouldn't get so vested in the "console war." Competition is good. You don't want companies to get blown away because it ultimately has no benefit for the consumer.

To each his own, no? Live and let live, I say. My console of choice thus far has been the Wii U and I don't see that changing any time soon. I'm sure there's something to like on every system out there - for instance, I'd love to dig into Dead Rising 3 and Resogun, but I'm not willing to plop down the cash for either system until they attract some more games that I'm interested in.

I'll be sure to bleach them before I let anyone in. Can't have people getting a virus from PixlBit!
