The Crew 2 looks like everything it needed to be

Cars, boats, bikes, and planes Among my game-playing friends, I feel like the only one who stuck withThe Crewlong enough to fall in love with it. The story was slow-going and the cars didn’t handle quite right until you grinded up your stats, but the potential was there. The drive-across-America open-map design was exquisite when the stars aligned and you got to drive coast to coast with a group of strangers on a whim....

The Wii Shark Gun

DealExtremehas a new Wiimote cradle called the Pega Shark Gun. It runs for $10.86 and is shaped like one of the greatest creature of the seas. The Shark Gun is basically just like any of the other Wii light gun add-ons (pointless, waste of money, etc) except that it looks like a Shark … and that you’re technically shoving a Nunchuk into a Shark’s ass. I’m not a fan of these needless cradles coming out, but I just had to post about this once I saw it onKotaku....
