The Wii Brought Us Motion Controls, Will The Wii U Take Them Away?
Old look, new flavor.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you know about how the Wii changed how people played gaming. When it was unveiled, there were strong pulls toward dual opinions: the Wii would flop because Nintendo’s consoles had done progressively worse with each new generation or Nintendo’s position as a market disruptor would allow them to introduce motion controls into console gaming permanently. The former couldn’t have been more wrong, but the latter is still up for debate. The Wii didn’t have the gusto to do motion controls particularly well (aside from tossing a few bowling balls down the lanes) without a few extra peripherals. But things are different this cycle.
Worms: Revolution. This Bait Bites Back
The worms go in, the worms go out, the worms play pinochle on my snout.
Worms…when most people think of worms they think of squiggly little dirt-eating annelids who can survive being chopped in half (and actually become 2 squiggly little dirt-eating annelids) and make for some good fishing.
If you’ve been a gamer for a while however, the word worms may just make you think of squiggly little machine gun toting annelids with bad attitudes and air strikes at their disposal.
Those are the ones we’re talking about here.

You Don’t Know Jack For Facebook Is The Quiz Game’s Next Great Frontier
Kelly suckered me into this and now I guess I have to play it every day!
It’s hard to believe that the You Don’t Know Jack series is older than a lot of Facebook users have been alive. Developer Jellyvision brought us the first game almost two decades ago during PC gaming’s CD-ROM renaissance and the game spawned dozens of versions as well as a short-lived TV series starring Paul Ruebens of Pee-wee Herman fame. The series is also known for its crass humor, a factor that became apparent to the ‘rents quick: this wasn’t going to be a game that my brother and I would be playing when we were younger. So now we’re back to Facebook, a place we know oh so well, and YDKJ has found the latest rabbit to sink its claws into: the freemium game. And yeah, it works incredibly well.
The Planetside 2 Beta Got A Facelift Today.

Yawn: Xbox 360 Tops North American Console Sales. Again.
“You’re a regular, huh?”
Look, you know I’m an Xbox guy. So you know how much it pains me to say that I’m kinda sick of seeing Microsoft’s hardware at the top of the NPD’s sales list for the eighteenth consecutive month. That’s right, The Xbox 360 has been the best-selling console in North America for the past year and a half, essentially since FleshEatingZipper started. I’m not saying that the Xbox 360 is a bad console by any means, but this is hardly the ‘comeback kid’ win that the original Xbox enjoyed in 2004 up to and following the release of Halo 2, winning in thin margins over the dominant PlayStation 2. No, this is the sign of some deeper woes.
