I can get Pikmin 3 or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD free. Which do I choose? I have the GameCube version of the Zelda game already but I hear the HD version is really good.

Hd version is good but pikmin 3 is really fun. I'm a sucker for the pikmin games though.

Also, my stepson is beyond stoked because they announced today that they are coming out with an adapter for the wii u that will allow you to use the gamecube cobtroller for the new Super Smash Bros.

Playing through Dishonored right now and loving it.

Dude I gave up after 10 minutes of that thing. I don't understand why anyone likes Bethesda.

You have to give it more time man.

I like Bethesda, but I played Dishonored for about an hour before getting too bored to ever pick it up again.

I'm very picky with videogames, and so much of those first 10 minutes set off so many alarm bells about the kind of stuff I hate (opening with text blocks explaining the story (what year is this?!), last-gen graphics, dull side stuff (playing hide and go seek...seriously?), crappy combat mechanics, terrible dialogue and voice acting) that I knew I wasn't going to enjoy putting any more time into it. Plus, I fucking HATED Fallout 3 (which I really should have abandoned much sooner than I did), so yeah...I don't think Bethesda is for me.

[Simple Torture]

My only gripe with Bethesda are the constant freezes in Fallout 3, FO:NV, and Skyrim. I went very deep into FO:3 and Skyrim, but the freezes in NV totally turned me off to it.

[Mecca]

I never had a lot of problems with freezing in F3 or Skyrim. There was maybe one big glitch in Skyrim that I encountered, but nothing game shattering.

That is fair. I personally think 10 minutes is just not enough time to form a solid opinion of what a game is going to be like. But everyone has their own tastes and I can respect that.

I recently played through Dishonored. I was surprised by it's high praise too.

I love Zelda, but pick Pikmin. You already played Wind Waker.

Pretty happy to see this new weapon:

I'll be buying Mario Kart today.

We've unlocked a few things already. The drifting is 3ds style, not wii Mario kart manual style. Fun stuff so far.

Huh. I've read of widespread problems...so maybe you're one of the lucky ones?

Leaked trailer for new Battlefield game. Looks really good, I like that they ditched the military setting for something a little different.
