    Zero Punctuation: Star Fox Zero

    There are moments where I chuckled, but after having played the game myself and actually found the controls to be enjoyable after a single run through the training stages (and racking up silvers and golds right off the bat), I have to wonder if all the people hating on the gyro controls are...

    Remaking Old Games is a Fool's Errand

    While I sorta agree, maybe, Nintendo is making an effort to actually re-release old games via Virtual Console, something that neither of the other console makers are doing - hell, you can't even buy PS1 games on the PS4 despite it being available on both PS3 and Vita. I don't think Nintendo...

    Zero Punctuation: Nom Nom Galaxy & Freedom Planet

    Eh, I think Yahtzee has way too high standards when it comes to Freedom Planet. I actually liked the story and the voice acting, I've seen worse from far more 'professional' productions. The story has its flaws, but I'll defend its quality to the death, damn it. But, yeah, it's a fantastic...

    Should Games Arbitrarily Withhold Content?

    I'm inclined to agree that this is probably the case. Though, I'm not one of those insane types who plays online games for hours on end, so the map cycling isn't really an issue for me, since I don't get tired of that stuff. That, and the rotation is every four hours, not a day, as Yazhtee...

    Just What Exactly Does the Triforce in Zelda Do?

    Yahtzee, as fun as your theory is, a little research would go a long way to explaining the Triforce, what it's done, and how it works. Firstly, it has been repeatedly shown to have incredible power - such as restoring its Lorule counterpart, killing a demon god, dispelling a seemingly...

    No Right Answer: Jim Sterling Says E3 Isn't Worth It

    Funny thing is, Nintendo, despite all the idiots saying they didn't show up, did show up, and they completely wrecked the competition. The Digital Event was fantastically presented (makes the press conferences of old seem archaic), didn't miss a beat, and had great content, including what is...

    Jimquisition: The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards

    Excellent episode. It's horrifying to think that big companies are being lead by people who are just so cripplingly clueless about games. Still, good thing indies and smaller-budget titles can pick up the slack and provide fresh new stuff - for example, I just finished a playthrough of the...

    Jimquisition: Early Access

    As previously mentioned by others, early access is fine as long as the product is clearly labelled as such and the developer provides a lot of detail on what's incomplete, current bugs, etc. If you're clearly informed that you're taking a risk, you have nobody to blame but yourself if that risk...

    No Right Answer: Superhero That Most Deserves a TV Series

    Uh, I'm pretty sure there's a big roadblock towards a Daredevil movie being made - Fox owns the movie rights, at the very least. Not sure about the TV rights, though - Sony has the rights to make movies of Spider-Man, but they lost the TV rights, which Marvel has.

    A Message to Those Unhappy With DmC

    The fans have been over Donte's appearance for a year, now. It's nearly everything else that they now they take issue with - dumbed-down gameplay that's a clone of Heavenly Sword (which in turn was a God of War clone), the downright idiotic attitudes of the developers (Tameem needs to be punched...

    Jimquisition: The Ten Worst Games of 2011

    I dunno, Bloodrayne: Betrayal seems to polarize reviewers. Some love it (including EDGE, which gave it an 8), but others give it as low as a 5. Weird, really.

    Dead Space 2 Is No Resident Evil 4

    Amazingly, one game DOES do the helmet thing properly - Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. The Demonica suits, while their helmets look kind of weird, have to be taken off like any other helmet, and it looks large and thick enough to provide practical protection.

    Epic Mickey Offers No Choice

    Multiple people have pointed out that calling Epic Mickey's "moral choice" system as "good or evil" is just completely missing the point, because it's not about good or evil in the first place. And finally, why the hell, after all this time, have anyone NOT mentioned Shin Megami Tensei? The...
