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...

Community Choice GOTY Winner 2012

Posted on Friday, December 21 @ 09:00:30 Eastern by



The Walking Dead: Season 1 - Community Choice Game of the Year 2012

Platform(s): PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, iOS

Publisher: Telltale Games

Developer: Telltale Games

When the dust settled on the final round of the 2012 Community Choice award, a winner was clear, but not without a fight. On its way to the grand finale with The Walking Dead, Journey overcame Max Payne 3, X-COM: Enemy Unknown, and Assassin's Creed III. Telltale Games and its post-zombie-outbreak adventure game laid waste to Persona 4: Golden, Mass Effect 3, and scrappy upstart Sleeping Dogs. Both of these games deserve to be here thanks to your voice and your vote.

In the early running, The Walking Dead took an early lead, securing commenters like Fieperskaivu, shandog137, and Kurlkurry. Journey did the best it could to stay in lock step, not without the help of 213EDD, FATAL1TY, and Bras.

In the late hour, Journey surged ahead to tie the voting: sliverstorm, Imnickson, and t1pz0r each casting their votes for thatgamecompany's platformer. If this streak could hold out, victory would be Journey's.

That's when Sourdeez, inferno003, used44, Bretimus_v2, and others snuck up on the scarved mountain people and ate their brains. In the end, there were only zombies. The survivors on Journey's mountain had all eaten each other. The Walking Dead is your Community Choice Game of the Year, winning with a vote of 24-17.

Runners Up:
  • Journey - 2nd Place
  • Sleeping Dogs - 3rd Place
  • Assassin's Creed III - 4th Place
  • Dishonored - 5th Place

    Not a bad choice. I chose AC3 for GotY on my site, but this was a close second. I am just shocked to see AN ADVENTURE GAME POINT-AND-CLICK make game of the freaking year. That is a HUGE achievement when you can get a nearly dead genre to get game of the year.

    I haven't played TWD yet (though I want to, since even before the voting it looked excellent, I'm just tired of zombies right now) but at least my favorite made it to the finals. Yay for great games!

    Nice. Here's to hoping they make another season, especially with how it all ended.

    its amazing how far downloadable games have come... when XBLA and other services launched it was more of a novelty... a place to get a hold of the classic titles from gamings early years / our childhoods... then games started to innovate, now they are GOTY contenders & winners...
