Caught a showing of the animated Ghost In The Shell tonight.
Great to see it on the big screen, subtitled translation was shit though!

Picked up Watch Dogs on the Wii U on the cheap and currently having considerable fun with it.

Not sure what the other versions are like but although it's rather glitchy and the driving sections are sluggish as hell, it's still worth just over a tenner of anyone's money and it's the only GTA like game the Wii U will ever see.

Well I know that Tank Girl isn't always the most popular in these parts but this is certainly an interesting Humble Bundle - tempted by this but not sure how good the strip is these days?

I really enjoyed it when it ran in The Meg-not read it since though!

Does anyone know if this is going to be given to subscribers as part of the subscription or not?  My guess is we'll have to pay for it but not seen anything concrete.

Also, am I right in thinking there are 2 variant covers for this?

Ta

Two covers (so far).

They can be ordered here:

No offense to the creators involved, but did their first run on Dredd ('Mega City Zero') sell well enough to warrant a 2nd series?
It's hard to understand why IDW are doubling down on this.

It averaged arond 5,000 copies a month in the States, which is about the norm for an IDW title.

Do Rebellion ever do stuff on Nintendo consoles? Rogue aside?

Surely this is the console on which to do Slaine: Grand Theft Dragon.

Look at this thread; at least three people might buy such a game after it's been out a while and dropped in price.

Dredd Vs Death was on the Gamecube, Free Running on the Wii and Sniper Elite V2 on the Wii U.

A remastered Dredd Vs Death on consoles would be nice.

Rumour is there will be a video game announcement at the 40th bash!  :)

I really hope Nintendo have secured better third party support this time as without them I can't see the console existing on first party titles alone.

See the Wii-U. Nintendo pissed of 3rd party back with the cartridge fees and since they've needed to downgrade ports and add in waggle just to find out nobody wants anything on a Nintendo machine except Mario & Zelda I wouldn't hold out hope.

Check out the original Wii, Sold a ton, there was some good, original stuff came out on that at the start and if you check the top 20 sellers its all Nintendo bar 2 which are both Just Dance.

That's why I'll be waiting for a price reduction and an increased library before taking the plunge.

Not a huge gamer anyway and the titles I've yet to complete on the Wii U will keep me occupied until then.

Looks like all new material? Good stuff, 2000AD's FCBD superiority continues unabated  :lol:

Hope is reprint, pretty sure Deadworld is too.

That's a pretty lacklustre launch lineup for the Switch-less impressive than the Wii U even.

Can't really say there's enough to justify a purchase for me, as of yet.

Mario Kart's a port of a Wii U game and the only other title to interest me is Zelda, which I can play on my Wii U.

Some exciting future titles, like a Resident Evil exclusive, may ignite my interest but, as of now, the Switch will be the first Nintendo console I haven't bought at launch since the Gamecube.

I really hope Nintendo have secured better third party support this time as without them I can't see the console existing on first party titles alone.

Coincidentally watched it on a rather long train journey today!

Past the time wonderfully and still a great watch!  :)

They're fairly popular, I believe.
I saw them support Iron Maiden several years back and to be honest I found them rather generic, without any particularly memorable songs.

My advice, give them a spin on Youtube and see if they float your boat!  :)
