I never solo in GW. The game is kinda boring, in my opinion, without the unpredictability of human teammates.

I don't know how you manage. I couldn't even get beyond the initial quests in GW:EN because there weren't anyone playing a month after release.

In term of the story, the experience was a bit like watching the Matrix sequels :sad:

No one is playing Mass Effect 3?

Got it at retail today. After installation, the first time I ran it I got a "Error loading d3dx11_43.dll" message. DirectX is out-of-date on my computer, I figured. Installed the latest version and the game launches. It found a new patch. After ten minutes or so I got a message that there was...

I think Nintendo is exploring the right niche. The screen on the Wii-U makes interactive television a lot less intrusive. You no longer disturb other people watching at the same time when you choose to do something.

I was just reading some reviews of Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. Most reviewers like the new motion control: With the WiiU's bigger screen, it should work even better. It will greatly enhance the experience of playing games like COD.

And then the European Commission will come along and slap a giant fine on the company for anti-competitive behavior.

I don't know how it works where you are. Here, getting a contract (that enables you to get the phone) requires proof of income.

Well, smart phones are pretty expensive. Here in Europe, a decent model runs upward of a thousand bucks untethered. The target audience we're talking about are largely young people without regular employment.

With the apparent demise of the Zune, Microsoft has a big gap in their content distribution strategy. Smart phone doesn't really cover the market segment. They need to entice teenagers and young adults.

The way I'd implement it is to show a over-the-shoulder third-person view on the television, with the camera pulled back somewhat to gives the player greater situation awareness, and a through-the-rifle-scope view on the WuuCon screen. Most of the time you'd be staring at the TV.

See, but with the WuuCon, the view follows your gun. You can pretty much aim anywhere, not just at the objects shown on the television screen in front of you. The mechanism would really be quite similar to how a FPS works currently, except your sense of orientation is much better. If you're...

The chance of Microsoft launching a new console next year is somewhere between zero and nada. The company can said on many occasions that they expect a ten year cycle this time. We are not going to see the successor to the XB360 until 2015 at the earliest. There is no point in launching a new...

The Nintendo presentation at E3 was a disaster. The messaging is all over the place. I get the feeling that the top execs and the PR people don't truly understand the solution that their engineers have come up with. If they can get it to work and work well, motion control can revolutionize...
