This Week on Chalk Talk…

Last Friday on Chalk Talk we discussed War Games, asking Gamespotters if military shooters are unjust portrayals of tragic and gruesome events? Or no big deal and simply another genre of games? With the Wii U's release date on the horizon, whispers of release dates from others have grown louder and steadily more convincing. But despite these exciting new rumors one can't help but ask, do we really even need a new console? While in the past one could argue that new hardware did fundamentally change our gaming experience it would seem that we've grown accustomed to such leaps. To participate in this weeks Chalk Talk check out the full details here
