    There is a new game coming out from iD called Rage. Looks like a cross between Doom, Fallout 3, and Borderlands. Gameplay looks great on the previews.

    never heard of it. Just researched it. Then pre-ordered it.
    It doesn't hurt that they have Mark Lanegan's newest song on their website for the game. :thumbup:

    Also, unless the Wii-2 comes out of the gates blazing strong this year, even with the minor tech advantage over the PS3 and 360, who is going to drop an additional $400 on a Wii-2 when in most cases that tech advantage will likely not show itself for another year or two...which is when Sony and Microsoft will probably start working on their next systems.
    Seems like a bad time for Nintendo to be coming out with a minor and expensive tech advantage over the other two...
    It does appear to be a gamble by Nintendo but the writing is on the wall for the Wii. Now that Microsoft and Sony have developed superior motion control systems, Nintendo has been exposed and not having HD graphics or 3rd party support is killing them. I guess they are left with the option of losing the market over the next 3-4 years or putting out a new system. I'm sure they will have a gimmick to help sell the system.

    As for gimmicks, I like the gimmick where a company makes a good system that's friendly to developers and a good controller ... something that Microsoft clearly focused on 6 years ago.
    The new gimmick for the Wii 2 is a 6 inch touch screen on the controller. From the sounds of it the new controller might also double as a portable game system.

    LA Noire
    Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
    Batman Arkham City

    That's about it.

    I think the only new game this year that I have bought is Pokemon Black
    32 shows and counting...

    I played the new Mortal Kombat and was very happy with it. It's more tactical then Street Fighter (and especially Marvel vs Capcom where I just mash buttons and shit happens magically), but it still moves at a good speed. So far it is my favorite fighter game out there.
