Does look fun and I'll keep a look out for it. But I was thinking more along the lines of the Elder Scrolls games or dungeon hack-n-slashers like the Champions series. Both have fantastic gameplay in their own different ways, but are kind of lacking in the story department.

I absolutely adore my gaming PC but sometimes I wonder if I would have been better served not buying it.

Mostly because about the only thing I play is TF2. :lol:

I heard a term for the PS3/360 from a Wii fanboy I've never heard before: "the HD twins."

Seriously. If you can't see the differences between the two you're not looking.

Man I haven't heard the term "HD Twins" in a long, long time. I guess it might've been somewhat true several years ago, but now both of them have a pretty strong lineup of exclusives.

Uncharted 3 is the first console game I've played in a long while that's impressed me graphically. Seriously, other than it being low resolution (relatively), the game is nothing short of gorgeous. Naughty Dog know their shit when it comes to programming.

Also, WiiU in 8 days! :mrgreen:

Those crazy Japanese, taking an American TV series from the 1960s and making a Japan-only SFC turn based strategy game out of it.

Need I say more?

(bonus: they nailed the intro of the show well too)
