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...

Xbox 720 Will Win The Next-Gen Console War, According To Pachter

Posted on Monday, March 11 @ 08:16:57 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
This weekend, at SXSW, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter made some awfully bold predictions, not the least of which included a claim as to who will most likely come out on top at the end of the next console generation.

Spike TV's Geoff Keighley posted the following image on Twitter, taken from the panel:
 

That's certainly some bold talk, especially when considering we haven't even seen what Microsoft has planned for next generation, but these kind of controversial predictions are all part of Mr. Pachter's charm, right? As you can see from the slide, a TV tuner and Skype functionality are thought to serve as the console's biggest advantages.

Do you think Pachter's next-gen predictions bear any weight? Is he just spitballing or is he actually on to something here? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    Seriously though, how in the seven hells are a TV tuner and Skype killer apps on a games console? If I want to watch TV I turn off the damn console, and if I want to Skype I do it on the computer like everyone.
    Remember when console killer apps were GAMES?

    According to Pachter, my cereal is cold, coffee is made from beans, and Black & Decker will enter the console war next generation. Seriously, analysts are like modern day fortune tellers...too much booze and all.

    Son of a *****, no links allowed.


    What I was referring to was a GR article months back where an analyst said the Xbox will be sold off to Sony

    I was only able to read the first part of the title at first and was hoping Pachter was the one who said this...ah was worth quite a laugh.

    This guy sounds like one of these crazy guys you see out in streets mumbling to themselves, and occasionly make out of this world statements like they invented the question mark.

    "The pc as a gaming device with make a comeback"
    If they would allow xboxlive for pc and games to be played on either your pc or xbox it would make a killing. If the new xbox runs windows 8, and your pc would have to run windows 8. It really wouldn't be that hard to pull off and would allow Microsoft to corner the market.

    It could all be my pipe dream but I still have my fingers crossed.
