The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition is Wii U bound
In case you didn't experience it already, The Amazing Spider-Man, that decent Spider-Man movie tie-in game, will be headed to the Wii U on March 8th. Just like Darksiders II, this release includes previous DLC, in addition to added GamePad functionality, like the ability to use remote play, and a few menu features. I beat this last year and thought it was basically the very definition of "meh." Although I don't expect anything to equal the classic Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man basically just managed to be fun "enough" to romp through the ten hour campaign. If you Wii U-only owners haven't played it yet, it's a great game to pick up on a price-cut. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?
