That 32GB hard drive is a joke.

yeah for a Nintendo system is isnt but if you want to compete it is a kind of a joke.

You can get a Xbox 360 with a 250GB HD for $249. This was a way to keep cost down and I think they are thinking the average nintendo user is not downloading tons of content via the internet. I think it is easily expandable to put a external on it.

Ugh. I have 3 precursor orbs left in Jak 1. 3! 1 is in the Snowy Mountain level, and 2 are in the final level. I spent about an hour last night looking for the one in Snowy Mountain and swear I have covered every single inch of it. 3 orbs and I'd have a platinum for it, but no, these older games have to make it that if you didn't go in with a guide, you're likely never going to be able to find that one final collectible.

Does anyone know if the story DLCs for Kingdoms of Amalur are good? I'm debating whether to just get the PC bundle with all the DLC or just play my PS3 copy with no DLC.

Grab the PC w/DLC package.

Better graphics to go with the story.

Whenever I try to get into Madden I end up just getting disgusted by the game.

I just recently restarted my franchise. I enjoy the game but some still annoys the hell out of me. Like the LBs, and defensive players in general, that have the hands of Jerry Rice and will leap ten feet into the air to make an INT. Also how the CPU seems to recover fumbles, whether is their own or yours, at leat 75% of the time.

Wii U 'Has A Horrible, Slow CPU' Says Metro Last Light Dev

Wii U's tech specs aren't as impressive as initially thought and 4A Games won't be bringing Metro: Last Light to Nintendo's new console.

Nintendo’s Wii U is out in the US and with reports coming in that it is struggling in a number of areas, many are claiming its third party games aren’t quite up to the visual standard of their Xbox 360 and PS3 cousins.

That the Wii U struggles to render games (that run perfectly on the Xbox 360 and the PS3) is a worrying trend for Nintendo. In fact, some games currently scheduled for release on the 360, PS3 and PC won’t be heading to the Wii U at all because of the differences in processing power.

One of these titles will be 4 A Games’ Metro: Last Light. Chief technical officer, Oles Shishkovtsov, explains why Metro’s sequel won’t be appearing.

“[The] Wii U has a horrible, slow CPU,” said Shishkovtsov to NowGamer.

Even his colleage, Huw Beynon, confirmed there would not be a Wii U version of Metro: Last Light, and couldn't justify the effort required to bring a comparable version to the Wii U.

“We had an early look at it, we thought we could probably do it, but in terms of the impact we would make on the overall quality of the game – potentially to its detriment – we just figured it wasn’t worth pursuing at this time. It’s something we might return to. I really couldn’t make any promises, though.”

Despite Nintendo’s console offering Metro: Last Light new experiences to its players with it dual screens, when asked Benyon was adamant that the Wii U would ever seen Metro: Last Light when asked directly.

“We had an initial look at the Wii U, but given the size of the team and compared to where we were last time, just developing for the Playstation 3 is a significant addition.”
