The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword review

Link’s back for another adventure and Skyward Sword is most definitely going to be the last one he has on the Wii.

Rocksmith release date

Ubisoft’s North American executive director Laurent Detoc has said on the matter “As much as gamers claim they want innovation, they don’t.” I have to agree, I still prefer a joypad to any other controller but really want to plug my guitar into my console! It’s out in the US for PC in December. Buy Rocksmith now New: Buy Rocksmith from Amazon.com Related: Music video games, Rock Revolution review
