Top 155 Videogames (accurate)

Top Wii U titles
1. Pikmin 3
Publisher: Nintendo
The long awaited sequel debuted this morning with the red, blue, and yellow Pikmin you know and love. There are four new captains in the game and the whereabouts of Captain Olimar are currently unknown. The captains are all present on the map at the same time, and the player can switch between them to complete puzzles and more easily navigate the game's large maps. There's a new Pikmin as well: the rock Pikmin.
2. New Super Mario Bros. U
Publisher: Nintendo
In the vein of the familiar Wii title, and the upcoming 3DS iteration, New Super Mario Bros. U features four player co-op. Players use a Wii Remote to control the hero. In a twist, a 5th player can use the GamePad to get in on the action asymmetrically, helping or hindering the four players.
The new Mario Brothers title features deep integration in the Miiverse, too. Players can leave notes on the world map, providing helpful hints or warnings as players continue their journey.
3. Nintendo Land
Publisher: Nintendo
Reggie Fils-Aime said that this would be the game to "sell" the concept of the Wii U. The game imagines a Nintendo-themed amusement park. The game will feature twelve attractions, with five announced here. The first three are multiplayer, while the latter two are for single-player: Animal Crossing: Sweet Day, Luigi's Ghost Mansion, The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, Takamaru's Ninja Castle, and Donkey Kong's Crash Course. The game prominently features five-player asymmetrical multiplayer like that found in New Super Mario Bros. U.
In a demonstration of Luigi's Ghost Mansion, the four players utilizing Wiimotes attempt to navigate a Pac-Man-style maze. The fifth player controls a ghost that is invisible to the others. The ghost's objective is to sneak up on each of the four players, making them faint. If the ghost takes out all four players, then he wins. Again, it pits that extra character against the others.
4. Lego City Undercover
Publisher: Warner Brothers
Lego City Undercover is an open-world crime fighting game. Traveller's Tale remains the developer of the Lego-inspired series with its trademark sense of humor. Gameplay appears to be action-packed and whimsical and set in and open-world fashion. There are tons of vehicles to drive, and platforming appears to be a large element of gameplay as well. The Wii U GamePad is being used as a detective tool, scanning environments for evidence, contacting other detectives, and acting as a secondary HUD.
5. Sing
(Working Title)
Publisher: Nintendo
Sing is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a singing and dancing game that takes full advantage of the asymmetrical gameplay afforded by the Wii U. One player holds the GamePad in portrait while the lyrics are scrolled down the tablet's screen. This means the singing player doesn't have to look at the TV and, ideally, can interact with the crowd. It looked to be little more than a first-party karaoke simulator, really.
6. ZombiU
Publisher: Ubisoft
Ubisoft is crafting a mature, first-person zombie survival game, exclusive to Wii U. The GamePad acts as a map, scanner, radar, scope and inventory. The graphics and animations are better than anything before seen on a Nintendo system. Comically, the game will take a picture of a player, and convert their face into a zombified version of their former selves ? similar to a smartphone app.
7. Aliens: Colonial Marines
Publisher: Sega
The recently delayed shooter will now be missing a day-and-date launch for the Wii U. However, it will still afford Wii U owners a claustrophobic, action-packed first-person shooting experience developed by Gearbox Software. As a nod to the movie that inspired the game, the Wii U screen will act as a radar, pulsing at intervals to alert you to approaching Xenomorphs. This type of gameplay would lend itself well to a VIP-style competitive multiplayer mode, or the co-op modes that have been invading nearly every high-profile shooter of the last few years.
8. Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition
Publisher: Warner Brothers
Rocksteady's critically acclaimed game of yester-year is coming to the Wii U with a slew of unique features. For example, new gadgets like the Remote-Controlled Batarang allow the player to use the gyroscope in the Wii U GamePad to control the Batarang. The port is being handled by Warner Brothers Montreal.
9. Wii Fit U
Publisher: Nintendo
Using the balance board of yester-year and combining it with the Wii U GamePad allows for new ways to integrate game-style mechanics into workouts. A new pedometer accessory will sync with the Wii U GamePad to help users keep better track of their caloric burn.
10. Sribblenauts: Unlimited
Publisher: Warner Brothers
The creativity behind 5th Cell Media's Scribblenauts has been lauded since the game launched on the original Nintendo DS. The Wii U sequel allows the player to create their own objects and associate them with certain phrases. Unsurprisingly, players are allowed to share their creations with other players for use in their story, or for further creative modification.

Track Your Stolen PC/Laptop before it Gets stolen
Prey is an application that can track your computer should it get stolen or lost. The program is free (with pro accounts available). It is released under the CC-BY-SA licence.
The giveaway info is located at the end of this post.
Once you have installed Prey, you must configure it. To do this run the configuration wizard in Applications + System Tools + Prey Configurator. You must enter the root password to configure Prey. When you open it you will see two tabs. The first is labeled Main Settings. Under this tab you can choose options such as how often a report is sent, enabling a guest account and WiFi auto connect (to connect to open WiFi networks automatically).
The second tab, labeled Reporting Mode, lets you choose whether or use Prey’s on-line control panel or the standalone version. I will be demonstrating the control panel method. Select Prey + Control Panel (Recommended) and click forward.
If you have an account click existing user and enter you email and password. If you don’t have an account, select New user and click forward.
Enter you name, email address and password and click apply.
After creating your account you must verify you account. You will receive and email similar to the following. Click on the link in the email to verify you account.
After you have activate your account you can log into the control panel. When you log in you will see the computer you added in a previous step.
If you click on that computer you will see details about that computer. This included the name, type, OS, etc. This is also the screen that is used to mark the computer as missing.
If you click on Modules in the top navigation panel, you have access to various part of Prey. Two types of modules are available: Report and Action modules. Report modules run when the computer is marked as missing. The Network modules gives will tell you about the Internet connection. The Session module will return a screenshot, modified files and running programs. The Web cam module will take a picture using the internal camera. I was not able to test this module as my camera is broken. The last report module available is Geo; this module will find you computer and put the location on a map. Action modules are run as soon as Prey receives the command (this requires version 0.4 or higher). The action modules that are included are Alarm, Alert, Lock and Secure. These modules play a loud sound, send the user a message, lock the computer and deletes personal date, respectively.
This stuff is all useful, but now I will show you what happens when you lose your computer. When you lose you computer, you should log into Prey and mark you device as missing.
Now you wait. When Prey receives a report, you will receive and email similar to the email below.
Click on the link to the report. When you open the report you will see info about the location of your computer. My report shows the uptime (the amount of time the computer has been on), user(s) currently logged in, active connections and WiFi info. It also includes a screenshot and a map. The map shows where the computer is. It uses WiFi and or GPS to find the location of the computer. The location I given was very accurate; less than 100 meters off. This is what my report looked like.
As afore define:mentioned, Pro accounts are available, These plans allow for more computers, active mode (report the last time computer checked in), automated deployment, SSL encryption and two minute report intervals.
