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...

Capcom Thinks Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Is A Success

Posted on Tuesday, May 15 @ 13:38:00 Eastern by


Capcom responded to investors about their sales numbers on their lineup of titles so far this year, and despite the critical lashings on Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, they still see it as a success:
"Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City" has reached shipments of 2 million units (as of May 10, 2012). This shows the success of our decision to try the new approach of using an alliance with an overseas development company.
On the downside, they think that the saturation of fighting titles prevented Street Fighter X Tekken from matching their expectations:
Sales of "Street Fighter X Tekken" have fallen short of our plan. We believe one of causes is cannibalism because of the large number of other games in this genre that were launched within a short time.
On better news, it seems that Capcom is improving their game development time for Resident Evil 6 as well as Lost Planet 3:
For "Resident Evil 6", we improved efficiency by using a new alignment of internal developers. For "Lost Planet 3", we are using an alliance with an overseas development company with the goal of launching this title 2.5 years after the previous title in this series. So we have succeeded in greatly reducing the development time compared with prior titles. Overall, we believe that we are making steady progress in shortening development times by efficiently utilizing our own workforce and making effective use of external development companies.

    I'm just going to pretend that Op Raccoon City never happened. I still have exorbitantly high expectations for RE6.

    1-4 were, in my opinion, some of the best games ever made (hell, even 0 was pretty kickass). I'm also beginning to think that I'm one of the few people in this world who actually enjoyed 5 as well. It was far from perfect and parts of it were pretty ridiculous (Hulked out Chris punching a boulder, really?) but I still had fun with it.

    They wanted to widen their scope of gamers. Leon getting his head sawed off in RE4 alienated the players that actually lost their heads that way, or were born without them.

    I liked RE: ORC. If the game had been maybe only cost $25-30 then it would have been awesome. You get the feeling many times a game where you are fighting then something big jumps out and you say "Oh ****!" and run. Why you guys are being so elitest is beyond me. The game they advertised is the game they delivered. (minus the occasional bug, but can be patched.)

    If people keep buying their games, they are going to keep doing the same thing.
