Submission + - Is the Wii U Already Dead? (goozernation.com) 2

kube00 writes: The Wii U has been struggling as of late. Even Nintendo has admitted sales haven’t been as high as they would like. So what went wrong? Is this just a fluke? Will the Wii U recover and bounce back? Will the PS4 and the next 360 come out the door and leave the Wii U in the dust?

Submission + - Split screen co-op is dying (goozernation.com)

kube00 writes: Split screen co-op and local multiplayer are becoming something from the past. Games like the Halo series and Rock Band 3 sort of fill that void. What happened to cramming a bunch of gamers into a room with two TVs and doing a system link match in Halo? Where have the all night Goldeneye matches gone?

FPS Games That Need a Remake 518

kube00 writes: Poorly done DLC is one of gamers' worst nightmares right now. Where a publisher stands to make some money. Gamers get screwed, whether its the overpriced extra maps/costumes dlc, on-the-disc dlc, or DLC that is nothing more then a remake of other DLC. No game is safe from bad DLC, including Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Uncharted 2 and a host of many other popular games. Is there a chance to save DLC?
