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

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...

Next-Gen Xbox Dev Kit Images Surface

Posted on Monday, July 30 @ 05:52:30 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


The Xbox 720, Durango, or whatever you want to call it is believed to be launching next year, and as the current generation of gaming hardware beings to show its age, the excitement for new technology is starting to grow. While we still have quite a bit of waiting to do until 2013, we've got a few images of what appears to be a dev kit for Microsoft's upcoming console.

According to Digital Foundry, the images (pictured above and below) that were first spotted on the AssemblerGames forum are in fact legit pics of an Xbox 720 dev kit. Apparently forum user DaE was trying to sell the kit for $10,000. Go figure. Digital Foundry spoke with the source as well as “multiple developers working on next-gen projects” to confirm the accuracy of these images.



In addition, it appears that the console has a 64-bit operating system as well as Intel CPUs, an NVIDIA graphics card and 8GB of RAM. This is particularly interesting because it was widely believed that the console would use and AMD graphics card, as Microsoft and NVIDIA don't have the strongest relationship.

For more information on this ominous black box, stay tuned to GameRevolution for future updates.

    All I see is an annoying piece of paper with gibberish on it.

    That is what we call chicken scratch, my friend.

    I would think it's worth a lot more to developers than $10,000... what with... money to be made and all.

    I'm digging the specs. Whatever Sony and MS put out needs to have some killer specs because PC hardware isn't slowing down any time soon.

    1TB 10000rpm HDD with a lot of cache and some very high-end graphics card would also be nice.

    The funny thing is, this is more-or-less a must if anyone plans on going digital distribution only. Does that mean they'll include it, though? Absolutely not, because we can't have nice things.

    I'll be excited when the actual console is announced.

    I wish people would stop spoiling things, it's the worst part of the internet. Developers/Publishers might as well just post lists of games that are on course to be released in the next decade, and save themselves some trouble.
