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.

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?

DAILY MANIFESTO

NGP Battery Matches the 3DS's Battery

Posted on Thursday, January 27 @ 13:53:55 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Holy handheld wars, Batman! How is it possible that we're at this stage again? The world seemed to be in order, the DS was above the PSP, dogs chased cats, and rain fell down instead of up. Now I don't know what to believe.

If it comes down to choosing between Nintendo's or Sony's handheld what will you base your decision on?

If you spun the wheel of destiny and landed on battery life, you'd better be prepared to spin again. Despite both systems attempting to invoke a sense of "always with you, always on", neither the NGP nor 3DS has exceptional battery life.

Reports show that the NGP is expected to meet the 3DS at 4 to 5 hours of concentrated use. That means you'll be able to sit and play games for a limited amount of time, but you can expect to plug in your NGP every night when you get home. Of course, some of the more passive uses of the NGP will require less juice; just don't expect to use a ton of 3G features without charging the NGP alongside your phone every night.

Games, as always, will be the deciding factor in this contest. This year's lineup of games shows that Nintendo is throwing its weight behind the 3DS rather than the Wii (which doesn't really change much) and hopefully Sony will give the NGP the love it needs to survive (unlike the horrible PSP Go "experiment"). To be honest though I'm just happy Sony figured out that they needed two analog sticks instead of one.

I'm putting 20 bucks on the 3DS' success. At least here in North America... not so sure I know enough about the Japanese market to guess on that one.

Blazin, I couldn't agree with you more. What games do you want to play, how many of those games you want to play are on a system, etc. That'll be what factors into decisions for people. As it stands, if I had to give up my DS or my PsP right this moment, it'd be my PsP I get rid of. There are just way more games for the DS that I enjoy playing. I suspect not much will change this time around either.

Though to be honest, I'll probably just buy both in the end anyways.
