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 To Focus On "Dual Support" Between 3DS And Wii U Versions Of Next Super Smash Bros.

Posted on Thursday, April 26 @ 12:52:10 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

I don't care how much you love Super Smash Bros., you've got to admit that over the past thirteen years of the franchise's existence, the series hasn't changed all that much. Aside from a plethora of new characters and the handful of added gimmicks, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is basically the same game that launched on the N64 back in 1999.

Series creator Masahiro Sakurai is not oblivious to this fact and wishes to break free from the trend by adding some completely new elements to the next major installment. Sakurai explained how he plans to accomplish this by telling IGN: "There is a certain dead end we come to if we just expand the volume of the game. I intend to change direction a little as we go... The key to that's going to be its dual support for 3DS/Wii U."

He didn't elaborate much further on exactly how this "dual support" will work, though he did add that he plans to "come up with something that uses that link as the game's central axis," so make of that what you will. The game is still quite a ways off and if they really do plan to push the interconnectivity between the two devices, they're going to want to launch both versions of the game around the same time.

    Sounds like possibly controllers with the 3DS being as one. I am predicting that you can have 4 players on the console plus another 4 or so with the 3DS, allowing HUUUGE brawls.

    I'm glad they are trying to find ways to make the series feel more new and fresh. This is a problem that I have with current dota style games (HON, LOL, DOTA2) is that they are all still the same game. And while they are fun for a while and were a blast when they first came out, now they are still just the exact same game just a shitton more characters to play as.

    Hopefully they find a good way to keep it fresh.

    I'll be okay with this as long as it releases on the Wii too.
