State of Decay, Achievement Unlocked: Surpass 500,000 Downloads

Undead Labs excellent open-world zombie survival game State of Decay has officially surpassed 500,000 downloads to become the fastest-selling original Xbox Live Arcade title in the history of the service.

In case you missed our original hands-on piece with the game, we had a lot of good things to say about the release, such as:

State of Decay is an ambitious open-world zombie game that does so many things well, it's hard to be upset at the lack of multiplayer. While it would be great to be able to partner up with friends to tackle this harsh, ofttimes unforgiving environment, it never felt like the game was lacking in any way because of this.

The world is engaging and believable, the enemies are everything we want from a zombie game and the element of survival keeps you coming back for more, time and time again.

and

The combat in State of Decay is satisfying to the point of obnoxiousness and we mean that in the best way possible. When you know you should be running, but you stay to fight anyway because it's so damn enjoyable...that's when you know you have something special.

So, what are you waiting for?

Check out State of Decay on Xbox.com for more information on the game and congratulations to Undead Labs on this achievement!

Can Spielberg revitalize Halo?

After Microsoft’s more than questionable reveal of the Xbox One, a great deal of controversy has surrounded the console and what it means for core gamers. Amidst the media frenzy and negativity, little notice was taken to the announcement of an all-new Halo live-action series, with Steven Spielberg himself at the helm. Following “Forward Unto Dawns” resounding success last year, Spielberg, under the watchful eye of Halo 4 developer’s 343i, will look to further enhance the Halo live-action experience.

Breaking Down The Ending in The Last of Us

Before we even begin to get started here, let's get the ol' disclaimer out of the way.

This post will contain major story spoilers to the singleplayer mode in The Last of Us. If you haven't played this mode yet or do not want the story spoiled, do not read past the break or you will be very sad.

The Last of Us is easily the best game released in 2013, both from a singleplayer and multiplayer perspective. At its heart, however, The Last of Us is a story-driven video game that delivers its story unlike any other game released in the last few years.

From the opening moments to the tail end of the story, The Last of Us grabs you and never lets you go.

E3 2013: Insider Perspective on Battlefield 4's Commander Mode

Our own Adam Rolph has been at E3 this week, and was fortunate enough to grab some hands-on with Battlefield 4's heavily anticipated Commander Mode, which we covered earlier this week.

"Commander Mode" is not a new concept in the Battlefield franchise, however this particular rendition of the one-man control scheme brings new features and options to the table. Commander Mode in Battlefield 4 now has access to Tomahawk missiles and an AC-130 Gunship and when used correctly, these deployable weapons can shift the entire flow of control on a 64-player map. The Gunship is particularly impressive, at any time it can halt control point advances by allowing players to spawn near it and parachute down into the chaotic battle below. Thankfully, the cool-down time for all these commander-based features are relatively short; ensuring you'll always have absolute control over the battlefield.

E3 2013 is starting to wind down and as we reflect back on this years annual gaming super-conference, we're happy to say that things are looking good. They're looking particularly good for one publisher, who has proven at this year's event that they are listening to the community.

The only problem is that they might be listening to the wrong community.

Nintendo has inadvertently given us everything that the Battlefield community is clamoring for, I mean...just look.
