Wii U Sales Increase 875% In UK after Xbox One Reveal
I don’t normally post two articles so close together, however when I saw this news I was intrigued and thought it would make for a great weekend discussion. It seems that since the Xbox One reveal, Wii U sales in the UK have blown up! Before the reveal, the Wii U was ranked at about #390 on Amazon’s PC & Gaming Best sellers list. After the launch, it quickly rose to #48 and incre...
Review: Groove Heaven 3DS
Before its launch yesterday, I had the opportunity to demo Groove Heaven from Teyon. You play as Rhymi, a a little demon girl, that has the task of delivering a love letter from the devil to a beautiful angel that he has become smitten for. Each level represents a floor of the tower. On each floor, you must make your way to the exit, all while collecting items such as roses and music notes and a...

Retro-bit Offering Wireless Controllers for Retro Consoles
As a palate cleanser from all of the XBox news yesterday and the seemingly endless debate over which console will win the next generation when two of them still have months left until they hit the market, comes news on the retro gaming front. Retro-bit, a company that produces products for many retired consoles, has announced that they are releasing a new line of wireless controllers for the NE...
Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4
Yesterday’s Xbox one reveal (Click here to see my report on the reveal) was pretty fantastic, compared to the PS4’s lackluster announcement. We were able to see actual game play for Call of Duty Ghosts, quite a few additional features, and an actual console (although it sort of reminds me of an updated CDI in appearance). But how do the three compare to each other from a tech standpo...

The Gaming World Against The Wii U
It seems that everywhere you turn, there is nothing but negative news surrounding the Wii U. Honestly, other than Infendo.com and a few other Nintendo centric websites, I cannot find anyone that has reported on the good aspects of the console. Instead they tell us about how horrible it is compared to two unreleased consoles (that incidentally we know very little about.). Could this stem from Je...
