So the horror aspects still seem to be there? from what I saw it looked more like gears of war then dead space.
I depends what you mean by "horror aspects". Slow moving character with limited ammo fighting zombies and monsters in the dark? Yes.

Resident Evil Revelations was surprisingly good. Other than that... nope.

I'm not surprised. I thought 2 was very underwhelming after the first. Gave the guy a lame voice, recycled every single enemy, barely anything new, bleh. I liked it when it was one game.
Co-op? In a horror game? Doesn't that completely defeat any sense of fear evoked by the game?

Obscure pulled it off fairly well I thought.

If you control information well co-op horror can be very effective.

In theory it works very well. In practise, chances it didn't.

:lol:

Actually I have (lived there for 2 years). My favorite American stereotype story was when a half Greek friend of my family visited Greece with her family, and her (20 year old at the time) daughter entered the sea, and came out running yelling "It has fish inside, it has fish inside" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

(and no, not sharks, small fish xD)

But yeah I really don't understand why you have such big problems with teaching contraception (no I don't think all Americans are stupid, I KNOW better than that)
That's not an American stereotype, that's a female stereotype.

Moreso than Nintendo Land or any of the various Wii U apps intended to “teach” people how to use the controller, this game had me enjoying and understanding the possibilities of the hardware in ways that I didn’t think I would. It looks to be a great new addition to a consistently strong series, and Nintendo should include this as a pack-in game.
There is no WarioWare Wii U. The title is Game & Wario. It is not part of the WarioWare series, and plays much differently. From what I've read it is more like a standard minigame collection. Rather than a few seconds, the games are minutes long.
