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?

Did Microsoft just pull a 1985 Coca-Cola on the world? Was the "Xbox 180" an eleborate marketing scheme? I examine.

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

Suck It, Tom Hanks!

Posted on Friday, December 14 @ 15:51:45 Eastern by


I can't take credit for that hilariously bad/excellent pun of a front page description that lured you here—that was courtesy of our very own Kevin Schaller. By now you know my love for puns, so I couldn't let a reply to an email thread like that go unseen.

That particular email thread went around last night between the staff here at GameRevolution, because we just heard the news that GameRevolution's 'The Grind' webseries took home the award for Best Original Scripted Video Show/Series at the 2012 Digiday Video Awards Gala in New York City.

You may be wondering why all of the hate on Tom Hanks...we truly love and respect Tom Hanks and his work throughout the years. Which is why this accomplishment of winning this award is all the more satisfying. The Grind went up against the Tom Hanks-created, Tom Hanks-produced Electric City, a post-apocalyptic science fiction webseries [When have you not heard of those before? ~Ed. Nick] with characters voiced by Hollywood talent such as Paul Scheer, Ginnifer Goodwin, Chris Parnell, and surprise-surprise, Tom Hanks.

So while we wish Mr. Hanks no ill will, we can't help but be sore winners and do as much virtual face-rubbing as possible.

If you haven't seen The Grind, make sure you check out the entire series at: http://www.gamerevolution.com/tag/the-grind

Congratulations to the good folks here at GameRevolution, Evolve Media Corp., our host Marisha Ray, the writers, and the production crews at Brilliant Morgan Entertainment. (And I would like to thank Belgium for not interfering with our award.)

    Hanks has enough awards. It's time for the Big boys to take over.

    Was capitalizing the 'b' in "Big" another Tom Hanks pun?

    Yes! I guess it wasn't as tough to crack as the Da Vinci Code.

    Hopefully we'll get to do another season soon - and hopefully we can all be cast for roles.

    Never saw it, but you'd think it would be decent enough considering all of the talent behind it. Still, no match for our talent :)

    It had a bad plot, story, and laughably bad dialogue. The voice acting generally sucked too, surprisingly. I think Woody may literally be the only voice over that Hanks is suitable for.

    Momma always said, life is like a box of chocolates...
    ...and she also mentioned that chocolates are incapable of recording and editing videos, because they can't even read.

    Hanks now knows to leave this to the professionals.

    I'm really happy for you guys. Congrats!

    I guess I'm the only person alive who watched a couple episodes of The Grind and disliked it.

    How is it that I've been visiting this site for several years & never watched an ep of this show?
    You guys need to promote this better. If you could send Marisha to knock on my door & personally notify me each time a new ep come up, I'd be ok with that.

    Well, it appears you never checked out "The Grind" thread in the forums. Daniel would notify the forum users when a new episode aired. Also, do you follow GR on Twitter? That's one of the best ways to stay informed. GR had a new episode posted on the main page every week. Do you scroll down and see news you missed?

    No, I don't do twitter & I rarely look at the forums, I mainly follow links from the home page. I will try to be more observant in future though.
