    Zero Punctuation: Extinction and Attack on Titan 2

    No, now there's also angsty teens piloting those giant robots.

    Zero Punctuation: Fortnite and Dusk

    Heb, I remember Redneck Rampage. It was pretty fun, though the manual certainty helped with that. Also, if the "What else should I play?" wasn't retorical: Doki Doki Literature club apparently can be summed up as "What if Undertale was set in Silent Hill?" Whether or not Yahtzee feels it's...

    Zero Punctuation: Hand of Fate 2

    "As hard to dodge as a Republican Tax Code." Heh, I'm gonna remember that one.

    Games with surprise second acts!

    To Hawki: Also, Final Fantasy 6 isn't the only one in the series that did that. It just got a lot harder to surprise players in the CD era. When your "final dungeon" isn't on the final CD, well... TV tropes did name it the First Disk Final Dungeon for a reason.

    Endless Space 2 Review - Ad Infinitum

    ES 1 had an interesting thought with its combat mechanics. A full-on RTS battle gets tedious when you have to fight it as often as you do in a typical 4X game (see Sword of the Stars), but neither is it satisfying to just get a pop-up saying whether you won or lost a battle without seeing all...

    There's a Legend of Zelda Clue Game Available for Pre-Order Now

    If they had kept it as investigating a crime, the answer would always have been "It was Ganon with the Triforce of power in Hyrule Castle'

    Cersei Lannister and the Shallow Politics of Game of Thrones

    My impression of the show was that Tommen was wimpy because Cercei deliberately manipulated him to be that way. When he wanted to go rescue his wife, Cerei was all like 'you can't do anything, let mommy handle it'. Which bit her in the ass when the High Sparrow made use of that spinelessness...

    The Problem with Freemium Games

    I'd love to buy a lifetime subscription to World of tanks/warships as a way of buying the game. But they don't allow that, and the prices they do charge for their temporary premium accounts (which are the only non-frustrating ways to get past the mid-tiers in my opinion) are too high, probably...

    Zero Punctuation: Dishonored 2

    Funny. The NPC dialogue is a mayor reason I never replayed Arkham City. I'm not a comic book reader, so I can't vouch to the faithfulness of replicating the Batman setting. But I don't think the intended effect of the dialogue was to make me wish for Batman to hand Dr Strange the fucking matches...

    No Man's Reward

    Which game is Bethesda in there for? I thought most of their recent games (Fallout 4, Doom 4) were pretty well received. Which clusterfuck-release did I forget about?

    Box Office: 'Warcraft' Is A $430 Million Flop

    I went and saw it with my colleague's. Most of us found it bad. Only one guy really liked the little details like apparently flying into Stormwind from the same direction as in WoW or something? I dunno. The movie's story jumped all over the place, going from one plot point to the next with...

    Star Citizen Backer Gets $2,500 Refund

    I'm still hoping to play it, but luckily all my money is still in my pocket. If it ever gets released in a half-decent state, I'll buy it then.

    Over(50)Watch

    I think there were hints (a documentary in Blizzard's office showed a character-select screen with what looked like a sniper in the Support-slot) that Pharah's mother may become a playable character in the future. So, y'know, maybe?

    Zero Punctuation: Homefront The Revolution

    If they want a North Korean villain, how about making a shooter in the fucking Korean War? Go at it, Call of Duty. There doesn't seem to be much love for your sci-fi settings anymore, so how about a period that feels like the WW2 setting that made you, but is just different enough to score some...

    Where Has My Aim Polygone?

    The first, and I think still only time, I played a FPS with a controller was when a friend we were visiting wanted to do a Halo multiplayer deathmatch against me. I pretty much looked like this. I just couldn't get a decent shot off. The thing was that my family was visting him because his...
