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?

Why Making E3 Tickets Harder To Steal Won't Work

Posted on Tuesday, January 11 @ 12:37:08 Eastern by Nicholas Tan

This probably has less to do with the general public, since they're already used to being shut out of E3, but usually, Game Revolution receives badges in the mail for E3. Not so anymore.

The ESA is attempting to clamp down on badges and copies of badges being sold on Craigslist or on the street for as much as $700. Now, badges must be claimed at the E3 Expo with proof of admission.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is going to prevent people from being hoaxed. All it takes is someone with some prior year's ticket and pawn it off as this year's ticket on some poor sap. Or take/photograph/steal a badge from someone else on Day 1 and manufacturer a badge quickly for the next few days or even within a few hours.

Pirates are always going to find a way to sucker fans in with false hopes. You can't stop pirates; you can only deter them, and to that end, deter only the lower-tier pirates. Sounds like DRM, actually.

Maybe I'm just a skeptical sap that likes going to fan conventions of various things, but why would you ever want to go to E3 anyway? Everything E3 brings is easily accessible, in high definition, from your home computer anyway.
