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...

Square Enix Pushing Tomb Raider To Be "Best Game Of The Generation"

Posted on Monday, May 28 @ 14:53:29 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

Lara Croft hasn't aged much over the years, but after seeing last year's E3 trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider it looks like her series is taking a turn for the better, and Square Enix is banking on it.

While speaking with venturebeat, president and chief executive of Square Enix's U.S. division, Mike Fischer, showed a high level of confidence in the upcoming Tomb Raider. He stated with enthusiasm:

I can look you in the eye and tell you, honest to goodness, we want this to be the best game of the generation. And the time that we’re giving it is going to allow that to happen.

Earlier this month Crystal Dynamics—the game's developer—announced that the game's target release window was pushed from this year to 2013. While that means we'll all have to wait a little longer, it also means Square Enix is willing to lose out on holiday sales in order to layer in some polish.

He continued:

Look, you’re going to see the game at E3. Tell me if you think I’m blowing smoke your way. It’s really that good.

Normally I'd take this as an attempt at PR hype but Tomb Raider has looked every bit as fantastic as Fischer described. Okay, so it might not end up being the best game of the generation, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. If it's as gripping as the trailers have shown and as fun to play as Lara Croft is to watch then Square Enix has a hit on its hands.

As Fischer mentioned Tomb Raider will present itself at this year's E3, which is fortunately only a week away. Stay tuned for new details and media in the near future.

    In this valley, my hype can echo for miles. Here once stood Blizzard and 3D Realms... in fact the latter stood here so long his footprints have become stone. Welcome to Mt. Molyneux.

    I'm glad to hear their internal expectations are so high. It'll only aid in yielding a better product.

    Looks like Laura was downgraded from a D-cup to a C-cup in this rendition. DISLIKE!

    (I jest, of course. Looks amazing!)

    Stupidly overhyping this game. It will probably be a good game, but it will be forgettable. Theres been a lot of games this gen that have been way overhyped (skyrim rings a bell) and I surely won't be suckered into falling for the same old trick again. Think of something new, Crystal Dynamics.

    So that people can just ignore it because it's not another sequel to a big franchise?

    Skyrim wasn't overhyped. It lived up to it's expectations. Halo 4 will be overhyped, Duke Nukem Forever was way overhyped.

    Exactly. Skyrim lived up financially and quality wise with massive expectations on its shoulders. I don't see how the release could have been better

    DNF's overhype was like dating a girl who doesnt believe in sex before marriage. You date, move in together, get engaged over the course of a decade and on the honeymoon night you discover she was born without a vagina.

    Duke Nukem Forever, like a vagina-less bride on her honeymoon... someone make that a t-shirt.

    I feel that the direction they've taken the game in can really create an atmosphere that draws in players, hopefully both physically for great gameplay and emotionally for the story. I'm definitely rooting for this game because of its potential to be a different kind of action/adventure that we haven't really seen too much of in this generation of consoles (and maybe also because I've enjoyed TR since I was a young'n').
