So today, Nintendo unveiled Miiverse, the foundation of the Wii U’s interface. Miiverse has a few working parts to it. Before I imagine what is possible on this new type of network, I will list what it is and its announced features. Miiverse is what you see when you turn on Wii U. It looks quite like the Mii Plaza, only a lot busier The Miis that will appear in the Miiverse include your Mii, the Miis you’ve created, your friends’ Miis, and Miis of...
Going into E3 2012, the company with the most pressure to wow their audience has to be Nintendo. The Wii and Nintendo DS are slowly dying a natural death, while Nintendo 3DS continues to wow Nintendo fans with big games such as Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Using different toys you can place on the Wii U controller you can access new levels or boost your gameplay. There is even a reference that you could possibly play as Ezio. New multiplayer...
Like I said in my write up of the live demo, something seemed to be missing, that “oomph” from the live demo. Don’t get me wrong the aesthetics and sound were spot on and fantastic. The iconic sound of the pulse rifle remained and just the general look, gave no doubt about it being a game based in the Aliens universe. Brad and myself stayed away from any harsh judgments and figured we would know more as soon as we got our hands on the game for ourselves. We...
Brad Beach and myself attended PAX East 2012 and there were only a handful of games we felt we had to check out, Aliens: Colonial Marines was one of those games. We were shuffled through back door into a small, dark room with two TVs on the wall and thankfully a comfy floor, as we were exhausted. We were presented with a live solo demo of Aliens: CM and also told that if Gearbox did their job correctly that even “Alien 3 would be a better movie,” as this game...
