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?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

City Specialization - Electronics Reference Guide

The electronics city specialization is by and large an upgrade to the more traditional industrial trading path. If your city has exceptional production of alloy and plastic, as well as plenty of educated works through the Community College or University, then and only then should you consider going own the electronics route. It's an extremely expensive investment, which is why it's better to manufacture your own plastic and alloy than importing it from the global market, but it's well worth it if you're down for long-term planning and ridiculously high profit.

To get started, you'll need quite a lot of income at first since higher education is a huge drain on resources. Once you have the community college or university, plop several industrial zones around it and eventually the dirty level 1 industrial buildings will transform into clean level 2 industrial buildings. Also consider the Recycling Plant; it may not supply a lot of plastic and alloy, but even a little bit helps.
