I've got a weakness for Pirate themed video games...

This is probably the most excited I've ever been for an AC game.

@Kiyosuyo New smash hits are what sell handhelds...

@shadowhunter0 I play my 3DS with it on all the time. The "sweet spot" is pretty easy to line up with. It's in the middle with a little room to drift to the sides. Once you just relax and let your eyes accept it, it is very easy to use.

I finally cracked and bought one. New for $210 shipped. Cheapest memory card was another $20 in a pack that also included a soft case and a cable. Another $40 for Uncharted and I was in for a total of $270 for one game.

That was a few months ago and I've since bought a few more games. So far, pretty darn happy with it. It has a few eyeroll inducing quirks, but the games I've played on it have been fun.

The only thing I wish they had done differently with the hardware is added a 3D screen like the 3DS has. That would have been pretty cool. No, I'm not joking.

@wrestlingdude The game is getting around a 4.5 average across multiple sites. EGM is easily the highest after scoring a double-the-average.

The game is junk that simply doesn't deserve to be scored in the ballpark of what other games such as Far Cry 3 or Borderlands 2 are getting.

@ecurl143 It's part of the Cash game, Pet project game cycle. They kick out a cash grab between the games they actually care about.

@Rotondi Buh... how so? They've both got platforming, but are quite different.

@PSPFAN14 Or perhaps the game just isn't that good??

"And they've yet to solve the constant dilemma that has infected every one of their consoles."

You mean like wild sales that let them print money at will? That kind of infection? If I was infected with that, I'd not want to solve it either.

This stock photo of Lee always tricks me.. EVERY TIME. I see it and my first reaction is.. "Awesome games!" with a bit of happiness.

Then I realize who is holding those games and I the mood turns sour.
