Sept. 27 :: X-Men: Destiny available

Hot new Wii game by Activision mutates shelves!

Never heard of it. Did NP even review it? Usually they don't bother on mega-stinkers. Is this one of those?

There are absolutely no reviews posted for it yet by anybody, but that's probably because it doesn't come out until the 27th. I'm sure there'll be one in the October NP. It looks pretty darn good. I'll at least rent it.

Is this the one made by Silicon Knights? *researches internet* yep thats the one. Last game was Too Human, do they still have it? I loved Too Human but it was seriously flawed. Will the wii version be farmed out considering its multiplatform. Only time will tell.

Wait- people still DO that?!?!

Hell yeah we do. I am lucky enough to have a remaining blockbluster 1 block from my house. Unlimited out 1 at a time for $15 a month. Pays dividends during game season. Cheaper than gamefly. Picked up Resistance 3 today.

I do the gamefly thing, unlimited one game out at a time. Not as good as blockbuster since there are no stores to return what you have to get something new quick. It's only $15 a month also, but after taxes it is really $17.11/month. I still like it and love that I can pretty much rent any game that has ever come out on Wii. The selection is excellent. The bummer is that they can be slow sometimes in sending you a new game after you send back the old one.

Yeah, we ran out of Blockbusters, but I wasn't sorry to see them go. I had long since stopped renting games from them as their sleection was extremely limited, they were overpriced, and what few games they did have seemed to be chosen by people who either hate Nintendo or never played a video game in their life. If this had been N64 days, they would have had 20 copies of Superman 64 and 1 copy of Ocarina of Time (rented out, of course.) Idiots.

I still have a Blockbuster over by my house too but I hate having to settle with a crappy selection. Now that Gamefly won a suit over the USPS I've been getting games much quicker in the mail. Same speed as Netflix movies. I love looking over the entire Wii U catalog and being able to pick from any game that has ever been released. They didn't start pulling available Wii games until 2012 and by then the Wii library was hundreds, maybe over a thousand. Brick and mortar stores can't supply that type of selection.
