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

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...

Blizzard Takes No Issue With Windows 8

Posted on Monday, September 24 @ 10:02:06 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


While Valve's Gabe Newell has made it clear he's hardly a fan of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, the guys over at Blizzard don't seem to have any problems with Windows 8. In fact, the developer went so far as to confirm that they wholeheartedly plan to expand their content to the platform once it launches.

Speaking with CVG, Darren Williams, senior software engineer at Blizzard explained that Blizzard plans to provide content on the platforms that have the largest audiences, and Windows 8 obviously fits the bill quite nicely. “We put our games on platforms our players are already on, so yeah, it will be available on Windows 8. I think that we’ll go with the platforms that the most people are on. There’s no particular fear we have of Windows 8.”

"No particular fear", eh? Could Williams be alluding to the fact that the guys over at Valve are a bunch of scaredy cats? Let the PC developer drama begin...

    Human Society is littered with ideas that are over a generation old. The new generation has a hard time understanding why the older generation cannot naturally become that which makes the most intelligent sense.

    When's goggle releasing a gamer OS? :)

    Windows is just like the Star Trek movies, every-other-one sucks. We all know this. Blizzard is full-on evil now anyways, so I don't trust them.

    Maybe a few years ago I would have listened to a word Blizzard said, but where we are at in this industry right now, most companies are made up of entirely different employees than they once were. I don't really see them as the final word on anything that goes on in the video game world anymore.

    Most likely because they will potentially be able to optimise WOW for tablet computers and therefore ensuring several more years of subscribers...

    WOW could actually work ok on tablets...
