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...

Jack Tretton Says PS4 Software Prices Will Support Free-To-Play To $60

Posted on Friday, February 22 @ 17:00:00 Eastern by

Speaking on CNBC, Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton said that the PS4 and the next-generation PlayStation Network will not discriminate against games priced outside of the typical structure we've seen on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

"We're going to welcome free-to-play models, games from $0.99 up to those $60 games," Tretton said. During Thursday's Squawk on the Street segment, Tretton said that the PS4 is "designed with the game developer in mind and the consumer in mind."

"I think people are willing to pay if they see the value there. The heat for the true gamer is on the console," Tretton continued. The PS3 currently supports free-to-play business models, and Sony itself even has a hand in promoting those games through PlayStation+. This past week the publisher added a Starter Pack for the Eve Online-connected shooter Dust 514 to its popular subscription service.

With touch controls on the Dualshock 4, will the iOS and Android developers eagerly port their best games to the PS4? More importantly, would you buy those games to play on your PlayStation devices?

    I think we both know what they mean by Free-to-Play. I don't want iOS games.

    I have Jetpack Joyride on my ps3 and it's a blast to play. Free to play definitely isn't a bad thing, I wish Gotham City Imposters was F2P on PS3, the way it is on PC. But I'd gladly pay for it. Blacklight Retribution as well. Traditional pricing models won't for anyone not producing blockbusters games, that's just the way it is.

    I'd prefer a FTP PC version of TF2, Super MNC (with a lot less transaction = win) and ****, might as well throw the DC Universe Online in there as well

    If one of the consoles (or companies) decides to embrace free to play content on the consoles, rather than just tolerate it like they do right now, it will help their next gen sales.

    I do think this idea of free - $60.00 stuff is nonsense/propaganda. All big ticket games will come with a launch price of (at least) $59.99, with "special editions" going for $10 - $100.00 more, and then there's DLC or season passes on top of that, likely totaling around $100.00 per title in the long run.

    I agree. Without seeing it for ourselves, I have no doubt that this "marketplace" will have the same pricing structure as the current PS3 marketplace.

    $0 (F2P), $0.99, $3.99, $10/$15/$20, $60.
