I have the WiiU (along with a PS4, XBO, and PC), and it's a great little machine. But, you'd have to be insane to choose the WiiU as your sole console platform.
It screams "my parents won't buy me a PS4, so I'll hate on it".
I've rarely agreed with Gamespot reviews in the past, not that I think they're wrong all the time, but my tastes and likes differ from most of theirs (except with Halo 4 and XCOM).
Guess people have to try it out for themselves. Eurogamer, of whom I trust more than Gamespot and IGN put together, gave it a 9/10, so I'm more inclined to believe them than McGee.
Looks perfect for a rainy English, Sunday afternoon jaunt to me. Time Shift was dodgy but fun too.
Sometimes I like to watch mindless movies that require zero thought. Just sit there, turn off and be entertained. This looks to be the video game equivalent. Not every game has to be Max Payne. Sometimes a Uwe Boll style game is just as fun, but for different reasons.
Shame though. This has the possibility to become a really good game.
@ Saboys Publishers have been trying to come to some kind of agreement with the retail sector for years, but retailers are unbelievably greedy and refuse to play ball. The only retail outlet that is currently negotiating some form of deal with publishers is Blockbuster. Probably because they're owned by Time Warner, and they have Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) publishing Batman AA/AC etc. If you want to stop this happening, start contacting the retailers. They could stop this by simply agreeing to the 22% the publishers are asking for. It's not a huge amount is it? But it could be the difference between a studio being closed or a publisher refusing to any longer pay for your favorite franchise.
