REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

Father hires hitmen to kill son... IN GAME!?!

Article above where a father in China hired in-game assassins to repeatedly gank his son to deter him from playing and get a job. Damn that is a good tactic, it can definitely be infuriating to be graveyard camped no matter what game you are playing. I think these types of newfangled punishments are only going to become more prominent as we the gamers grow up and have children, children who think we don't know what a save file is or how to smash an Xbox with a wrench.

Any ideas you guys have for high-tech parenting punishments?

Dude is 23. His dad should tell him he's not getting food & board anymore until he starts paying rent.

I've read about this dad from ThinkGeek posting on their Facebook page. Kinda surprised GR didn't make an article about this. Anyways, his son is 23 years old. I don't know much about China laws, but in America the dad could just kick him out. It is a nice tactic, but what if it reversed on him (the dad)? What if his son was such a skilled player, he killed the assassin's his dad hired. To me, this called for a high punching, butterfly kicking type movie.
