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...

Wii U Achievements May Be Called Accomplishments

Posted on Friday, August 24 @ 14:47:21 Eastern by


The Xbox 360 has got Achievements and Gamerscore. The PS3 has Trophies and a Trophy Level. And if a new rumor is to be believed, the Wii U will call its virtual gamer cred "Accomplishments". 

Nintendo has confirmed previously that the Wii U will have some sort of achievements system, but still have yet to reveal a name or provide any insight on how it will be presented on their upcoming system. However, a Project Cars "Career Design Document" from May 2012 directly calls the Wii U's e-cred "Accomplishments"—right next to where the PlayStation 3's trophy count and Xbox 360's gamerscore are listed.

If the document is indeed from May 2012, plenty of time has passed and Nintendo may have gone with a different name. Or this could just be a placeholder added from the very beginning. But seeing that Achievements and Trophies are taken, Nintendo will need to set itself apart by naming it something else.

Tell GR: Will Nintendo call Wii U achievements Accomplishments? What to you think of that for the name?

    Although it doesn't roll off the tongue, I won't complain. The alternative to that could have been a message saying "U go girl!!" every time you accomplish something, this being Nintendo and all. *Shudders*

    Let's see, the Wii can't compete to PS3 of Xbox 360 based on visuals. So, I'm guessing they'll just call it "Goals."

    Hmm... the Nintendo Star sounds nice and appropriate to me, with the icon being the lovable Mario golden star. It also reminds me of getting gold star stickers when I was in first grade. If there's any kind of Nintendo Gamerscore, it should be in Coins.

    Agreed. I think we talked about this on the podcast and Coins was the general consensus.

    Ditto. Coins all the way. Coins and stars. Just like Nintendo has always been. Coins as the score. And stars as the accomplishments.

    Accomplishments? Is this so PMSing housewives don't get mad when their WiiU fitness game tells them they got off the couch for 10 whole minutes! "OMG IT'S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!" Lame.

    Mission Accomplish. Back in my day, we don't need accomplishments, achievements, or trophies. We kill Lord British because we ****ing can and we fight Ruby Weapon just because.

    I would prefer a shorter word. As I don't really care about them most of the time, they might as well call them Shits ranging from ****ing to Holy.
