Press Start: Nintendo Hamburger Hangover
Nintendo are keen on poking the bear this week. For the purposes of this metaphor I shall be playing the bear and the poking stick is represented by the recent glut of Wii U announcements.

Analysts: Star Wars: The Old Republic Big Risk for EA. Profundity!
Star Wars: The Old Republic has run EA a considerable amount of imperial credits in development. Utilizing this knowledge and college degrees in nonsense and speculation, analysts have come to discern that it is a big risk for the company. Not particularly insightful, but the details about what they’d have to pull to make a profit is, thereby justifying my blathering here. Right? I hope?
Rumor: ‘Dead Space’ Goes FPS, Dragon Age Goes Multiplayer. Generic Conventions, GET.
