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...

Fans Vs. Capcom: The Fate of Two Clusterf***s

Posted on Thursday, July 21 @ 13:19:31 Eastern by
It's only been a few days since Capcom officially canceled the fan-driven project Mega Man Legends 3, and already the backlash has begun, and it's only getting worse. At first, it was just hundreds of bitter comments by fans on the cancelation notice at Capcom's official blog, but then the punches started to swing.



@CapcomEuro has already clarified that he meant to say that he wished more fans were involved in the Mega Man Legends 3 project, but I'm sure that still doesn't sit well with those fans. One of them Brian Austrin, who had committed weeks, if not months, of work to the project, had an interview with Game Informer and even warned of threats that a hacker group might send DDoS attacks on Capcom's website:

"I really think that their trust bank has been shattered... This isn’t the first thing that they’ve done, not just with Mega Man, this is the second Mega Man cancelation within four months. Then we have the other stuff like the Mercenaries 3D DRM, and it just keeps going and going, and they’re establishing this track record." Austrin even warns that he's heard reports that a group of anonymous community members is planning a denial of service attack, similar to the hacker attack Sony and many other companies endured.

Some have reacted by creating blogs to save the project like Operation Mega Man, while others have reacted by making a collage of all the questionable transgressions that Capcom has committed over the last year or so (click image to enlarge):


 

And it seems that the MML3 fiasco has put some fans over the edge at Comic-Con:



This has led to an unconfirmed incident on 4chan where even a fan cosplaying as Tron Bonne wasn't able to enter the Capcom booth:

Comic-confag here. Went to capcom's booth last night. Security is really heavy this year eveywhere and they're super strict, but it was insane at capcom. I heard someone just say megaman and they almost threw him out, and they stopped a tron cosplayer from coming anywhere near it.

I saw that too! She was walking toward the booth with her friends. I was nearby and was like "Oh shit this'll be good" so I watched. Seth Killian looked at this rent-a-cop near him, pointed to her, and he went up to her with two other guys like "You can't be dressed like that. Company wants you gone." They threatened to confiscate her badge. I couldn't believe it.

This is only the start of Comic-Con, and it seems like it's only going to get worse before it gets better...

    Maybe they should change their name to Treat-you-like-Crap-com or Crapcom for short.

    Dont attack the ppl involved in game creation, none of them can fight let alone take a hit. Now hes calling in a Capcom Cosplay Order 66 at Comic-Con. I sense a great disturbance in the force.

    Why do they hate Megaman so much? They don't think that will sell? Capcom hates robots! This is the beginning of the war between robots and humans! Capcom started it!

    This is so super. I love when people say things like "trustbank" and expect to make a valid point.

    Am I the only person who thinks Ninja Theory will do a decent job with DMC? Their track record is fairly decent, and I think the direction they're going in may actually fit with whatever happens in that game.

    Everything else - Bad Capcom, BAD!

    Do I need to rub your nose in that?

    I honestly don't understand the hate for Ninja Theory and Devil May Cry. It's not like all the recent DMC games were very good....

    This just in:
    -Pics of Mega Man having sex with little kid robots are all over the net (much to Pedobear's delight) hence Capcom trying to distance themselves from him. It's bad PR.
    -The fan that punched Seth Killian will be added as a playable character in UMvC3.
    -Brian Austrin just made himself the prime target of authorities if an attack against Capcom does take
    place.
    -tinymhg just nominated for The People Speak by usaglory for his "Crapcom" comment.

    I'm pretty much done with capcom as well. I should have known better seeing as how they have a pretty infamous track record for the **** they pull but I bought street fighter 4 and then a little while later they come out with super street fighter 4. Bought that one a little while later now here comes the tourney version. Got MvC3 then few months later they release the same game with more chars that could have been on the first disc. Just tired of it already. They made some great games in the past but wow have they lost their minds the last few years.
