I feel that with the Xbox golden trifecta of

Forza
Gears
Halo

All now officially on or headed to PlayStation, that's officially the console wars over, and Xbox has given up.

It's kind of like seeing Sonic games appear on GameCube/GBA back in the 2000s. That was Sega's defeat.

Watched Ryan Goslings Drive (2011) for the first time last night and holy crap that was a good film. Great 80s vibes and tunes.

When a game's multiplayer servers shut down, I think it should be mandatory that they push one last patch to either remove or auto-unlock any multiplayer achievements/trophies. I remember seeing one game do this years ago and wondered why it's not SOP.

Another quick review from LifeOnTheGrid. This time on the excellent Space Marine 2:
