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 Sports Game 2012

Posted on Monday, December 17 @ 14:00:21 Eastern by Devin_Charles


NBA 2K13 - Best Sports Game 2012


Platform(s): PS3, Xbox 360

Publisher: 2K Sports

Developer: Visual Concepts

Before we can usher in the New Year, let’s reminisce about the top sport genre games of 2012. This year, like any another, has brought in a number of sports titles diverse enough to please most fans, looking for the best in the category. With such a wide range, it’s barely possible to pick one. FIFA 13 has shown much improvement and with just a few more additions, Madden 13 could be in a league of its own. SSX even had an impressive showing; the evolution of snowboarding is here! Developers have steadily been able to reinvent and rejuvenate their respective projects with creativity that keeps us excited.   
 
But above of all the rest, MLB the Show included, NBA 2K13 stands alone as top dog. Rightfully so, this year's installment had everything one could ask for. Solo and online playability, skills games for improvements, bumpin' soundtrack, the works. Michael Jordan even took the time away from endorsing underwear to promote the franchise. If Madden had some of the same capabilities, the crown may be in different hands. Regardless of the nominees, 2K shall hail for time to come... at least until next year. Honorable mention goes to NHL 13; hopefully a lockout in the season doesn’t hurt the development of the game.

Runners Up:
  • Madden NFL 13
  • FIFA 13
  • MLB 12: The Show
  • SSX
Related Games:   FIFA 13, FIFA 13, MADDEN NFL 13, MLB 12: The Show, NBA 2K13, NBA 2K13, SSX (2012)

    It's a game where you play with balls against other people.

    Some would say you play with other people's digital balls.

    AGHHHH! This is killing me. I asked for this as a x-mas present and the 25th cn not get here fast enough,

    I too miss the NFL2k days, but if VC could only have one, I'm glad it's the NBA. While the NFL2k games always gave Madden a run for their money, NBA2k always completely smoked EA's efforts.
