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
By Starling
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...

DAILY MANIFESTO

GameStop Has No Idea What They're Selling

Posted on Thursday, November 1 @ 17:08:40 Eastern by


Did I just stumble upon an Engrish site? Is this a post on Craigslist? Oh, no, it's just Gamestop.

Look, I'll let one misspelling go because they happen all the time. I make them once in a while, for you readers to comment on. I'll even let two misspellings go, because this is GameStop we're talking about.

But come on, this is just sad. You can't make a deal (a good one, kinda) where people can get 50% extra credit toward purchasing a Sony collection, and then butcher 4 of the 5 supposed top-sellers (De-Ting caught "Dexter" as being wrong too) you're trying to spit at my face with pawn shop credit. Poor Sony.

We know GameStop doesn't really give a shit anymore, but they should at least pretend like they do.

Give me that pre-owned pizza instead. At least then, you'd be self-depricating or something.

    I lost it at "Unchartered" for some reason. Someone needs to be fired and congratulated. Both at once, preferably.

    Buy your newly released $60 game back for 20 bucks?

    They may not know how to spell, but they sure know how to rape.

    It's actually genius: They make it seem like they're accepting all these great games everyone has, but in reality its just God of War and the additional ones. Like saying I'll pay you one million doll hairs.

    GameStop is full of high school and college dropouts (in this area where I live anyway) and they probably don't know how to spell. You won't find geniuses working at a GameStop.

    Sadly you are complete right. On top of that. their games cost more than in almost every other store. (In Denmark at least)

    Abit embarresing to hire the cheapest workforce and still charge more than the store who doesnt specialise in games. Oh well thats just my opponion.

    I'm a University Waterloo co-op engineering dropout very dry material although I finished my minor in political science. Scholarship only made me pay $2000.00 of my own money, I'm a total troll right now Lol >_

    It's in a bag. How often have you seen pizza in a bag. Nothing about this can be good.

    Pre-owned would mean its actually the **** from a pizza meal. Hence that is false labeling of said pizza.

    Iko is very interesting. Despite the obvious difference in spelling, and I've never played the game, but in Japanese the relevant symbol is often transliterated as 'ko' in english, isn't it? Wouldn't Iko be more suggestive of how to pronounce it? Actually looking up the box art seems to imply 'Ico' is the spelling on the Japanese release as well, so I'm not sure.
    And in any case, from what I know, what is usually tranliterated as 'I' in english is actually associated with an 'e' sound in Japanese, so 'Iko' probably would only solve one problem with a native English speaker trying to pronounce it, and 'Eeko' looks kinda retarded.

    I love seeing articles like this on a page with advertising by Gamestop themselves, it makes the company seem even more clueless.
