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...

Rumor: Microsoft Partnership With EA To Be Revealed At Xbox 720 Unveiling

Posted on Wednesday, February 27 @ 14:03:51 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Each passing day brings us closer to the inevitable announcement of Microsoft's next-gen console. A new report suggests that Electronic Arts will be in attendance, and an exclusive partnership will be revealed.

According to CVG, two separate unnamed sources have told the outlet that EA plans to partner with Microsoft and its new console. The details of this exclusivity deal are unknown, but I'd be willing to bet it is either Battlefield 4-related or tied to Respawn's upcoming title.

When Sony announced the PlayStation 4, they brought Activision and Bungie on stage to announce that Destiny would have exclusive content on Sony's platform. Perhaps Microsoft hopes to counter with EA in a similar fashion. We'll just have to wait and see.

This is merely rumor right now, as Microsoft and EA have not officially said anything to this effect, but it sure isn't out of the realm of possibility. What sort of exclusive deal do you think EA and Microsoft may have cooked up? Let us know in the comments below.

    Maybe cross-platform multiplayer/co-op for EA games on Windows 8 & Xbox 720? Either that or it's the apocalypse and Microsoft is going to announce that the 720 won't play used games and EA & a bunch of other developers are announcing exclusivity on the 720 because of it.

    The two companies that price gouge the most teaming up for an unknown reason. Whatever it is, it won't be good for consumers.

    True, but judging by what I read on the previous article about Microsoft blocking used games, If EA teams up with them and the console flops, this could seal their fate too. As greedy as EA is, I am shocked that they would become exclusive to one console, but then again, these two have a lot in common.
