Star Fox Reviews:
It currently has a 71.27% overall score. A big complaint being the 2 - 3 hour completion time, which considering the source material and gameplay, isn't a huge surprise.

The funny thing is that the bonus game, Star Fox Guard, seems to be getting better reviews.

I picked up Pokken Tournament from the library last night and played for about an hour and it's a pretty fun little fighting game. A little on the easy side (even bumped up to hard) but it's fast and colorful. I don't know a thing about Pokemon, but it's worth checking out if you like fighting games.

It took no less than 5 minutes of playing Starfox for me to regret buying it. The controls are unnecessarily annoying and I'm making it through levels but that's only because they're not difficult so far. Once it starts getting difficult the annoyance level is only going to increase. I like how they show the Pro Controller on the back of the box to trick you but you only use that to have a second player aim in co-op mode.

Yes you must use the gamepad. It uses this combo of the gamepad's motion controls so you have to look at the gamepad screen at the same time keep looking at the tv screen.
It's also not helpful that in the first three levels they have you controlling three different vehicles all with their own unique control system that you've got to try and fight with.

What do you think about the invincibility mode? While I wouldn't use it, I'm okay with it being there because you have to go out of your way to enable it in the options. It's essentially an open cheat code, and I would think that if Nintendo would have had achievements they would be disabled in that mode (well, except for the "Pussy Gamer" one ).

Beat it today. I spent way, way too much time struggling with the controls to enjoy much of it. When it clicks it's a blast, but unfortunately that was pretty rare -- at least for me. I'll give the co-op a spin tonight, it's supposed to be much more fun to play, but at this point Zero is a huge disappointment.

nice deal on the Humble Bundle. If any regulars wants a code for Shantae and the Pirate's curse for Wii U, send me a PM. I already own it.

Does anyone want to trade codes from that humble bundle (if that's allowed). I'd be willing to trade the Wii u affordable space adventures for a super street fight IV 3ds code. I also have Shantaes curse for WiiU I'd be willing to trade.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is getting ridiculously great reviews. The only JRPG I've played in ages is Ni No Kuni, but I'm kind of tempted with this one.

Wow that was quite a gap between posts on a stickied system thread.

Why the hell would they still be making any?
