Lego City Undercover Limited Edition Bundle
Fans of the Lego series will be excited to find that the Limited Edition Bundle will include both the game and LEGO mini figure of Case McCain. As ling as there is not a price difference, I think it is a pretty cool inclusion to the game. However, It would be pretty cool to see a six inch version, or a mini playset. What are your thoughts on the bonus? Hit the jump for the full press release:

The state of Nintendo, and how the company will fare in 2013
Nintendo didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2012. After what I consider to be a very successful 2011 what with the launch of a new console and the release of a fantastic Zelda title, 2012 just didn’t live up to expectations, even with the launch of a new console in the Wii U. With that said, the Wii U and 3DS seem to be really hitting their stride, and it seems as if this year could ...
