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

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 Control Pad Updated, Will Control Your TV Too

Posted on Sunday, June 3 @ 15:12:30 Eastern by


In addition to showing off the updated rear and control sticks on the Wii U (see above), Nintendo revealed today that the Wii U Control Pad would also support the controls for your TV as an infrared remote control.

In today's Nintendo Direct, Bossman Satoru Iwata revealed the new functionality ahead of Nintendo's E3 press conference on Tuesday. The controller will also support stylus and touch controls and comes complete with an accelerometer and gryosensor.

We'll have more as the presentation continues. Don't forget to check out all of our E3 coverage at our tag page.

    Touch and stylus ftw. Also, still diggin' the stick placements. I hope that lives up to my expectations.

    I can't tell you how comfortable it is. The controller seems to have squashed out a little bit, more like a kindle screen than an iPad screen now.

    As much **** is packed on there, it was just the right weight and very easy on the hands. I have huge hands but I think people will like it.

    Don't they know most home entertainment stuff works off the more reliable UHF? This is fail.

    If I can change the video source, without having to find the ****ing TV remote that I never use because of satellite or cable, then I welcome the feature.

    If only it will control all the rest of my devices also, I could really simplify my "remote pile".
