I've been lucky enough to have the Wii U for over a week now. Here's what's thrilled me about the system and what's surprised me.
Mobile achievements provider OpenFeint will be shutting down its service on December 14th, the company has announced.
Wii U will launch with a YouTube app built into the system, but don't fret if you're sticking with Nintendo's original motion controlling console. Google has launched a dedicated YouTube app for the SD Wii.

The Deus Ex movie is really happening. Based on the recently-released Human Revolution, the upcoming film adaptation has just signed a writer and director.
