Let's face it: PC gaming and console game are two different things. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Honestly, I'd argue they're so different that they're almost impossible to compare. Both attract a different kind of person entirely, but that doesn't make one better than the other. Sure, maybe us console

Dude, that is 2013. That's the sad part. 30 years from now, we'll all be laughing at how ignorant the world was, just like we laugh at the world of yesteryear today. We're never as enlightened as we think we are.

If they were truly Eva-themed, they'd only give you enough power for five minutes.

Alternate Title: Katy Perry's Geisha Act Being Racist.

Actually, I was formatting the sentences the same way they formatted the title, as part of the joke. The idea was to make an alternate title. As you can see here, my Shift key works fine.

It's quite a different picture of Lanza than what emerged in mainstream media—and particularly in a fulminating news conference held by the National Rifle Association—about Lanza's gaming habits and the implications they influenced his behavior.

And apparently you of all people haven't been approved yet. How sad. Recommended. And amen to that.

Everybody's favorite Time Lord celebrates a half-century of spacetime adventures this weekend. And, just like they did with Star Trek, Google's cooked up a playable birthday card for the good Doctor.

This is singlehandedly better than any design Link and Zelda have ever had ever. Too bad they probably couldn't have forced him to get involved with the game.

It's just a shame that it couldn't do a better job of evangelising the platform for those still on the sidelines. Then again, if somebody can't get excited about one of the best Nintendo games in years, there's no helping them.

Maybe you didn't, but the problem with fixed camera angles is that it doesn't hold clear across the board. With so many possible combinations and angles, a lot of players are bound to have problems somewhere. For instance, my particular issue was with the first hallway in Deep Dark Galaxy, where the camera doesn't

The four characters you can choose from aren't just for multiplayer; you can tackle any stage in the game in singleplayer as either Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad. Sadly in this, The Year Of Luigi, Mario is the default option.

Not that this was my only three-dimensional issue with the game. The camera is...good, but not great. The right thumbstick is ostensibly there to move your viewpoint around, but you're on a very tight leash. It only moves into pre-defined positions, and in many instances can't be moved at all, the action locked into

Why? It feels like a bit of a dead end. Whether this is due to an off-year for the designers or the challenges of developing for the Wii U, who knows. But this isn't a Wii U game, not in the way I think Nintendo needs. There's very little here making use of the system's unique abilities.

Super Mario 3D World is a terrific video game. It's just not a very good Wii U game.
