Given a choice between a new Toyota Corolla or the latest iPhone, 16-year-old Allison Katz of Irvine, Calif., says that's an easy one.

Back in 2010, Capcom brought its immensely popular action game "Monster Hunter 3 Tri" to the Wii, a decision that was both limiting (in terms of presentation and online strength) and defining (dozens of quests to choose from, customization options galore) yet successful for the company in general. So we knew it was only a matter of time before it would make its return to consoles. We were kind of hoping for a PS3/360 stop-off, because of its larger online audience, but instead we get "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate" for the Wii U and 3DS. That sounds like a raw deal, but, to be honest, it's not an entirely bad choice.

All you fans of zombies in video games, TV shows and movies may be wondering whether an attack of the undead could actually happen - not today or tomorrow, but someday, maybe when we least expect it.

Spring break may conjure images of beaches and pools, but for high school juniors and seniors, the week away from school could be better spent.

There are particular signs to watch out for that indicate that a company isn't putting 100 percent behind a sports game. A lack of review copies going out to press outlets; not much in the way of advertising; and, even in the previews, no listing of major changes to the game itself. That's kind of the way it was with EA's "FIFA Soccer 13" for PS Vita, essentially similar to the game that came out with the launch line-up six months earlier; and, sadly, that's the way it is with "Major League Baseball 2K13."

"Of course, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty and weird."
