What to Buy

IGN:

"All right! You've decided to get a Wii. Now what? It's easier than you think so don't sweat it. We've listed everything you'll need, from the system to extra controllers and yes, even Wii Fit and the Balance Board for those of you who have exercise on the brain. While Nintendo's console is cheaper than most of the competition, it can still cost a pretty penny once you add extra controllers and other accessories, so you'll need to decide upfront just how much you want to spend and what is your highest priority."

I just don't get it. I could have sworn they cut development costs down to 240 bucks?

Edit: Read it and I still don't get it. Jamesy is losty.

Speaking to the Times Online, when Hirai was asked about selling each unit at a loss, he responded, "If you're just talking about the hardware alone, the quick answer is yes." Nevertheless, Hirai is confident in the PlayStation business as a whole, and the traditional razor and blades business model. He continued, "That makes good headlines, but I don't actually know that that's the true nature of the business that we're all in, whether it's PlayStation, Xbox or the Wii. I think the better indicator is to look at the business as a whole platform, to ask: are you profitable in terms of the hardware, software and peripherals. And the answer to that question is yes on a gross profit level since the last fiscal year."

Bankrupt morally and financially Sony has been unable to effectively reform and change its business practices to be competitive in the 21st century. Facing endless quarters of losses with no turn around in sight whatsoever, coupled with dwindling cash reserves the Sony empire slowly but surely moves towards bankruptcy.

The PS3 Slim is representative of everything that is wrong with Sony's business model, and for that reason it will be the last PlayStation ever released.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos14d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
