Good question! From a pure etiquette standpoint, it's probably more polite to leave it there, since the person buying the game or getting it from you can make that decision for themselves. I will also admit to using old saves on my rented/used games to get hints and clues, I can't always get to GameFAQs when I'm on the bus or whatever. On the other hand, if you have any personal info on there (e.g. you gave your Pokemon nicknames that match passwords you use or the names of your kids or something) it would be safer to delete that info. It's a long shot but better safe than sorry, right?

Speaking of free PS+ services, how much is Sony paying you to shill? Value goes beyond "get more and pay less". On the rare occasions I've needed support, the representatives spoke fluent English because I wasn't calling overseas. My XBox LIVE account has never been hacked. I'm not getting a bunch of useless services I don't need, and I'm getting full-service access to the services I use. All my friends are on XBox LIVE because they too don't feel that shoe-horning a 7th half-assed web browser and some streaming interviews with Sub-Chief Assistant To The Secondary UI Programmer into their life is worth constant service interruptions and hack warnings. Honestly though, it's whatever. XBL isn't perfect, neither is PS+, Steam, Gamefly, etcetera, but at the end of the day people use what they're most comfortable with. If PS+ makes you happy, then go use it, nobody's stopping you.

"Wrong"? What exactly is "wrong" about Nintendo's track record in the US? The Wii has shattered nearly every industry standard. The reason gamers think "Nintendo went wrong" is because Nintendo doesn't make a lot of games that are just for gamers. Ignore the vocal minority and look at the actual statistics, and you will see that Nintendo is doing just fine.

I think I can answer this question by correcting one minor point: the one where you say "Ever since Wii U was announced, everyone is talking crap about Wii suddenly." Really? You just now noticed that? When the Wii was first announced is when the Wii hatred started. Since the very beginning, hardcore gamers have been crawling all over each other to make the coolest new joke about "waggle controls" and "casual games" and "Not more Mario!" It didn't let up when nursing homes and soccer moms helped Nintendo shatter industry standards, and it sure as shinola isn't going to stop during an era where their next home console is gonna be named after a sound effect Stimpy would make. In the end, it's just that - talk. Nintendo made a cheap system that's fun at parties, generally accessible, some fun and experimental concepts in gaming, and your Nana can use it to watch her Netflix without calling you for tech support. You either like it or you don't, and the jibba-jabba is whatever.

Aside from the basic 3D, this game takes full advantage of the 3DS's more powerful processing speed and graphics capabilities, as well as the bigger screen and higher screen resolution. So, no, the DS won't be able to run this one.

I'm going to say "very yes". I still play SR2 on and off when I'm bored and just want something to do. It's a great game for when you're just craving some mindless mayhem. I imagine SR3 will be the same, but with luchador gear to boot.

For a while, I was dropping $20 every couple of weeks on WiiWare and DSiWare. Sadly, my DSi got lost during an airplane trip so that's money I'll never get back (although I did also lose about $150-$200 on the cartridges as well). Casual games and interesting concepts are mostly what I get, I never bother with the tower defense clones and crappy low-end versions of existing games. One of my favorite games ever is Toribash, and the Wii version is easily the best $10 I've ever spent on a video game.

I absolutely HATED this game - which is why I'm very glad I rented it. You really do have to experience the badness for yourself. You can get a general idea of how bad it is from reviews, but when you experience it first-hand, you truly appreciate it on a deeper level. My friends and I had a blast passing the controller around (or as we put it, the "hot potato") making fun of the horrible one-liners and coming up with parody lyrics to that incredibly crappy song that plays during the long loading screen. Think of it as "bad movie night" for the video game crowd.

Interesting question. On the one hand, he can only exist in the dream world, so it's kind of a continuity break (he was weak as hell when Jason yanked him out of the dream world). On the other hand, if DC Vs MK proved anything, it's that characters can be nerfed/jacked as needed to make it work. Ultimately, I can honestly say that he's not my first choice, but he's a good one.

Not only can you use it, but I actually recommend it for the best game experience. I actually prefer it to the Classic Controller. I'd say get a cordless one if possible though, because the cords are never long enough and the cord extensions are garbage.
