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

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...

Yoshida Believes Another Debacle Akin To FFXIV Would "Destroy" Square

Posted on Tuesday, November 27 @ 07:37:18 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Naoki Yoshida, the director behind the massive disaster that was Final Fantasy XIV, spoke out on the game's problematic launch, confessing that if Square makes a similar misstep in the future, it could very well bring about the end of the company.

Yoshida told Kotaku that he is well aware of what is at stake here, and there's no way they'll release version 2.0 A Realm Reborn before it is ready. "We won't make a mistake like FFXIV again. If we did, it would be like at the level of destroying the company," he said.
 
It looks like the initial failure of FFXIV didn't come as all too much of a shock to Yoshida, either. "When I heard that it was going to go on sale as planned, I thought, that will probably be a big mistake."

Do you still have hope in A Realm Reborn, or are you completely turned off to the idea of playing a Final Fantasy MMO after what happened with FFXIV? Let us know in the comments below.

    That's a little shocking to hear. Makes me wonder if the company was already in some form of troubles before FF14 or they had poorly managed their budget on the game enough to put the company at risk.

    I won't pay money to try it, but would give it a chance again.

    All of a sudden i'm confident A Realm Reborn will be a great game. People don't seem to trust Square anymore, but the truth is they are still a very talented company who know what they are doing. They just don't listen to what people want, that's all.
