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...

By playing a browser game called Planet Hunters, developed by Yale University and The University of Oxford among others, players can sift through data within the Kepler public archives for measurements where light waves suddenly dip, suggesting that a planet may be blocking the light emitted by its star.

It's a rare occurrence, but according to the official report, "in the first month of launch, users identified two new planet candidates which survived our checks for false-positives".

    I recently saw this TED speech, maybe you've seen it, but it's really good and this and the enzyme article just seem to follow what she's saying.

    I'd be interested in hearing more news about the NASA MMO Astronaut Moon, Mars, and Beyond too that they are developing though.

    not related but is there a better way to include links without separating comments?
