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...

Nintendo Stock Jumps Up 8%

Posted on Friday, March 8 @ 13:12:55 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Despite the fact that the Wii U's sales have been incredibly underwhelming, Nintendo's stock prices jumped up eight percent. This is largely due to the weakening value of the yen, which makes for a great exchange rate for the Japan-based company.

This also means that other companies in the region are benefiting from the slowly strengthening US economy, namely Sony, Capcom, Konami, and Namco Bandai.

Of course, a better exchange rate isn't enough to compensate for Nintendo's lack of software for the Wii U. With such a small library of compelling games, it's going to be very difficult for the Big N to convince consumers to shell out the cash for one of their tablet-centric gaming machines.

    I'm sad to think that such a great company has blown a 1 year head start to the point that their stock increase is based solely on favorable currency exchange.

    I smell Nintendo going down the same road Sega did...becoming software only.

    People have said that for years, just like the 2012 doomsday prediction. I am still waiting.

    Except the 2012 doomsday prediction was utter fabrication. Nintendo going software only might never happen, but it could.

    Maybe that's not a bad thing.

    But maybe they still have an Ace up their sleeves, and they're planning on releasing something huge this holiday. But then again, maybe they're just ****ed. We'll see, I guess.

    This basically just proves that investors have no idea when it comes to the video game industry. Either that or they're just making a cheap buck because of the exchange rates.
