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...

Namco Lets Fanbase Choose Tagline For Dark Souls 2

Posted on Saturday, February 9 @ 20:17:25 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

Prepare to get disintegrated.

Namco has posted a poll on the official Dark Souls Facebook page which asks gamers to choose their favorite tagline for Dark Souls 2. The available options follow:

Transcend Death
Into the Beyond
Go Beyond Death
Survive Death
Sacrifice Everything

As of Saturday evening "Transcend Death" and "Sacrifice Everything" lead by a huge margin. "Into the Beyond" sounds too much like it'd be affiliated with a sci-fi adventure game, and the word survive should never be attached to a game in the series—death is much more fitting.

Demon's Souls didnt have a tagline, but Dark Souls used "Prepare To Die" so customers would be less surprised by the game's grueling difficulty. Even then it wasn't enough to ready gamers for the torment that awaited them.

So, which tagline do you prefer?

    Anything but 'Survive Death'. That one is just silly.

    I would of added "It's gonna get worse" but it may backfire the game reputation. Maybe "You Only Live Once? haha..."

    I find the fixation with death sort of silly, considering how absolutely painless death is in the Souls games.

    I mean, they really aren't that bad. Maybe I just think differently, since I have platinums in both Souls games, but Dark Souls is really not that bad when it comes to death. You go back 5 minutes and still get to keep all your ****. The best part of the Prepare to Die tagline was that trailer where then they subbed out "die" with **** like "fight" "struggle" "survive" "live".

    That said, it should be "Dark Souls II: This Time It's Not Dark Souls 1"

    As to what? Every other game where it simply loads you're last autosave with no penalty whatsover?

    Yeah, ok. Losing 30k souls is worse than simply loading at the previous autosave.

    Yes. Especially since you can still recover all of the souls you lost.

    I mean, think about it. If you die, you go to a checkpoint a few minutes back. You could potentially lose souls and humanity, but that's all you have to lose. Every skill you've upgraded stays, every item you collected you still have, if you've activated a shortcut it will still be open. And by the time you're carrying around more than 10 thousand souls without spending them, you could easily gain more than that in a few minutes. It's really not that bad.

    Whereas, if you have a game where you reload the last save, even if you have saved in the last few minutes, everything you've done in the last few minutes still has to be redone, assuming you have a recent save. It's really not that much better, since unless you save every few seconds, you're still going to have a loss of progress.

    FTL is a far more punishing game. Death means game over, start again with nothing.

    FTL is also a roguelike (not an RPG), which is an entirely different genre of game. And basically all roguelikes are like that. They really aren't in the same perspective as far as games go, so it's an apples to oranges thing.

    See, if I knew how the game was going to feel I'd know how to react to each of the options and then whether to propose an additional option.

    Maybe they should go with DeBeers (all credit goes to Ron White)...
