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.

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.

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.

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

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

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