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...

Phantasy Star Portable Director Hints At Vita Announcement

Posted on Friday, March 2 @ 10:18:02 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

The Vita had a strong library at launch, there's no doubt about it, but there were a few things missing that leave the Vita with a ton of potential. A blockbuster RPG stands among the most requested additions and with plenty of games yet to be announced in the near future it's only a matter of time before RPG fans start sinking hundreds of hours into the Vita.

Satori Sakai, director of Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP, was recently seen promoting the Vita web conference which is scheduled for the 9th of March. Tie that in with the promise that there will be plenty of games announced for the device on the 9th and you have a coincidence that is impossible to ignore.

Phantasy Star has a long history that dates back to the late '80s, and its one of only a few JRPG series to survive through the cold winters of this generation. The series also has plenty of experience with online multi-player. The merging of the Vita's strong multi-player feature set, dual analog sticks, and big screen should tie in perfectly with the content-rich world of Phantasy Star.

    I would so buy a vita just for this, assuming it has strong multiplayer component.

    This might make me get a vita... I still play PSO every once in a while on my GC. As long as the multiplayer works well/easy and the combat isn't screwed up like in PSU I may have to get a copy...

    If Vita can get this, Patapon, Monster Hunter, LoCoRoCo, God Eater, a decent Gundam game, a highly touted dating sim, and an original game in 2 or 3 decent-sized JRPG series, then its troubles in Japan should be over.

    That's a long list though.

    Think they'll think up of a use for that back touchpad for dating sims?
