This week’s Question of the Week: “Ever purchase new games for an unsupported console?”
Just in case people were actually thinking the Xbox 360 was going to hold out against a viral console, Nintendo is now the best selling console in the United States. Anyone really surprised?
You’re looking to pickup a copy of Guitar Hero World Tour, but you’re currently unsure which bundle does what and how much each will cost. That has now been made clear and gamers can go about their holiday shopping business later this month (Oct. 26th) to pickup the bundle of their choosing.
Nice to have a three man podcast again 🙂
@Occulous Rift: This is the first I’m hearing it called an absolute joke after seeing constant praise for this device.
I agree with the bring on the Holodeck sentiment, I’m sure society will fall apart when everyone decides to live in one.
@Simcity offline: This feels a bit like too little too late for me.
@QOTW: I once bought a Neo-geo and ten games for 20 dollars from a pawn shop. The games were a soccor side scrolling platformer, a space game that didn’t look better than Star Fox, a mystery game with very cheap animation, a doom clone and DragonSlayer. Aside from Dragonslayer most of these games looked like they could have been done on the other consoles at the time. We eneded up using it as a media player, funny how a out of date console can play CD’s while the Ps4 and Xbone can’t.
