I can't wait! Three hours until State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition drops on Xbox One! I already preordered it digitally and have it installed. Just have to wait until 12:01 AM.

That game was so much damn fun on 360, can't wait to see it in 1080p and see the new stuff they added to it.

I pre-ordered the physical copy as it came with a $10 XBL credit.

I thought about the physical copy, but ah screw it, I want to play at midnight, haha.

Silent Hills cancelled; speculation Konami may be circling the drain. In terms of sports gaming, this would mean bad news for fans of Pro Evolution Soccer.

Yeah, that is bad news for PES. Though I've never played it beyond the demo, I like FIFA having competition.

However, it could very well mean more licensing for FIFA (ie UEFA Champions League).

If Konami is circling the drain, they should give us a nice goodbye with a "new" 8-bit version of Contra kinda like in the vein of Shovel Knight and Mercenary Kings.

Yeah State of Decay is such a fun game. Already played it on 360, and played the new XB1 version tonight for four hours.

Play today's White Sox/Orioles game on The Show Live. Yes, they did this.

[cdj]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Had no idea they could do that.

[JeffHCross]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Had no idea they could do that.

In theory, if they have dynamic attendance already, then it shouldn't be hard to hard code a game to be 0 attendance.

It is cool.

In theory, if they have dynamic attendance already, then it shouldn't be hard to hard code a game to be 0 attendance.

They do and they did.

Yep, I sat up until probably 4am Tuesday morning playing it. Literally fired it up at 12:01am right as it became available. Then turned around Tuesday afternoon/night and put a bunch more hours into it. Still fun as hell! Hadn't played it in months, so it was nice and fresh.

Zynga continues to suffer as the company posted $46 million in net losses (GAAP) for the first quarter of its 2015 fiscal year. As part of a measure to cut costs, the company has laid off 18 percent of its workforce, amounting to 364 employees.

Despite the losses, Zynga outperformed its first quarter estimates as it moves to transition its focus more fully to mobile (and away from social). The company will continue to reduce costs in order to save approximately $100 million.

Zynga said it would cut studio jobs, close its Orlando studio and make other cuts to save $100 million on an annualized pre-tax basis.

The Zynga Orlando studio employed a solid number of former EA Tiburon developers.
