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...

EA Backs Off On Bans, Allows Access To Offline Content

Posted on Monday, April 16 @ 12:55:39 Eastern by

If you got a little overzealous on Battlefield 3 and maybe installed a hack or two, you probably figured your ban would only pertain to the online portion of the game via EA's Origin service. WRONG.

Hey, Electronic Arts wasn't about to earn the title of Worst Company in America sitting down. Though, now that the Golden Poo award has been handed out, the publishing giant is taking a step back from their Origin bans policy. Switch your Origin client to offline mode and enjoy all those single-player games you bought and paid for.

If you're still hoping to get back online with EA's Origin service, you'll need to appeal the ban and hope someone thinks you've learned your lesson.

    Single-player only BF3 is the same as being banned from BF3. I feel no pitty for people who use exploits/hacks/boosting/etc. in online games and get banned. They deserve it.

    Aimbot, wall hack, I think being forced to only single player is fitting. Now you can only play with yourself in game... kinda like them saying cheaters and hackers go **** yourselves.

    I agree with both you dudes (LawnGnome and OdiousLupous) that they deserve what they get. Dammit, an EULA is a contract and cheaters are in flagrant violation. They are not entitled access to the service on any terms other than those dictated by the contract. Screw 'em in the ear with the broad side of a rotary phone.
