REVIEWSGRiD 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?
LATEST FEATURESXbox One Controller Hands-On
The more time I spend with the Xbox One's controller, the more subtle yet meaningful improvements reveal themselves.
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...

GameRevolution Radio 0037: E3 Off-Topic Recovery

Awesome podcast you guys. TV shows are probably the only entertainment medium I love more than video games, so I really enjoyed this one. I felt like it was all just for me. I could go on and on, but here are some of my thoughts on this podcast to try to get a discussion going:
I think the 13-or-so episode cable shows (Sopranos, Mad Men, etc.) are so good and so revered partly because of the shortened seasons. It helps prevent them from having any filler or bad episodes. I also tried to get into Sons of Anarchy and couldn't because I am from Northern California and can't believe that there are any bikers who are not douchebags. I wish I could stream Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon so that I could ditch DirecTV and maybe not torrent so much but I live in a rural area where my internet speeds cap out at 150kbps (damn packet qeueing AT&T). I've researched it before and all together they cost about $25. There's also a free streaming service called Crackle that is mostly anime and is ad supported but also has stuff like Seinfeld and some movies. I've seen every episode of every Star Trek show and I think the thing that prevents more people from getting into them is that the earlier seasons, even of the great series like DS9 & TNG, are pretty bad and nothing like the rest of the show. Most of the characters are completely different later on, the special fx get way better, and the writing vastly improves later on. DS9 is probably the best series overall. Thanks for all the recommendations on new shows to watch! I'm off to check out those animes that Nick talked about.....
