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...

Best Motion Control Game 2011

Posted on Tuesday, December 20 @ 08:14:16 Eastern by


Dance Central 2


Platforms: Xbox 360 (Kinect required)

Publisher: Harmonix Music Systems

Developer: Harmonix Music Systems (Distributed by Microsoft Game Studios)

This year was depressing for motion gaming, though that's generally my default position whenever I'm approached by the thought of being forced to move my body to do something that a button press can do more swiftly, more accurately, and more sensibly. In fact, I play Child of Eden with the controller and Fruit Ninja on its native mobile platforms. The only other real contender in the nominees list is The Gunstringer, but Dance Central 2 is the definition of why motion gaming exists.

Unlike Just Dance 3, Dance Central 2 tracks your arms, legs, head, and torso and encourages you to move your entire body to choreographed moves. I can spend time dissecting its new cooperative multiplayer and its improved Break It Down practice mode, but at the end of the day, it's all about how, almost instantly, you stop thinking about playing a game and start dancing. And eventually, it can become a solid workout routine (as it is in mine) where you actually learn legitimate dance moves, rhythm, and coordination. (I'm sweating just thinking about it.)

Runners Up:
Related Games:   Child of Eden, Dance Central 2, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Just Dance 3, The Gunstringer
Tags:   Best of GR, playstation move, kinect, Wii

    I thought Skyward Sword could fit the bill for best motion control game.

    I'll let you in on a little secret...

    We're not doubling over on awards. So that means, Skyward Sword was more deserving elsewhere.

    Shhh.
