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 Music Launching Tomorrow With 30 Million Songs

Posted on Monday, October 15 @ 08:53:11 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Starting tomorrow, Xbox 360 gamers will be able to enjoy all that Xbox Music has to offer... for a fee. While both free and subscription options are coming to Windows 8, those who wish to stream music on their gaming hardware (30 million songs worth at launch) will have to cough up some cash on the order of $9.99 a month. Oh yeah, and you must be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.

In addition to the cloud-based streaming service, you'll also be able to purchase individual songs or albums—so at least there's that. Microsoft's Don Mattrick had the following to say about their new service:

The launch of Xbox Music is a milestone in simplifying digital music on every type of device and on a global scale. We’re breaking down the walls that fracture your music experiences today to ensure that music is better and integrated across the screens that you care about most — your tablet, PC, phone and TV.

It's clear that Microsoft is aiming to create the definitive music/entertainment hub with the Xbox platform, but will they succeed? After all, toppling Apple will prove quite challenging. Let us know whether or not you think Microsoft stands a chance in the comments below.

    Do we really need another entertainment platform? Microsoft has already failed with the Zune, and not a single person I know rents movies or listens to music from XBL. We already have iTunes and now Google Play. What happened to just sticking MP3s on your phone and being happy with that?

    I'm sure people are waiting more for the Internet Explorer browser to release with the dashboard update. It's irritating me, because people in the beta should be allowed to talk about it now. I have a few pros and cons to publish.

    That sucks. XBOX live subscribers already have to pay $60 a year, so if we want to stream music , you have to pay more now? No thank you. I already pay 10 bucks a month for Spotify (which is amazing) so I'd rather have seen a spotify app on the Xbox. Now I know that's not happening so this is balls.

    Interesting ordering of devices: tablet > PC > phone > TV... Does this indicate M$'s priority for the future? In other words, is the xbox/console going to potentially/eventually get phased out?
