    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    I agree, sadly, with every point Yahtzee made in this review. I say sadly, because I was once a fanboy of nintendo, but seeing as the originality has been sucked out of nintendo like heroin into the needle I'll be visiting shortly after posting this, I hung up my fanboy tshirt in the back of my...

    Who here beats games too fast?

    I definitely think games are lacking in the length category. With the price of development, many games are trying to artificially lengthen their content with silly puzzles, or just going through the same levels but in a "Dark" or "Backwards" style. I think this aspect of a video game is...

    Thank you for ruining my life.

    Super Mario for the NES. Today, when I tell my dad about my most recent gaming adventure, he reminds me of when he would hear that music of the first level in his sleep. That game and Street Fighter II have to be the most addicted games I played back then. HOWEVER, The game that I was truly...

    Characters that don't belong in the Brawl.

    Whether your argument is either the frequency of titles on a nintendo console or perhaps the quality of that character's game on the console. Which characters do you believe don't belong on this latest installation of the Smash?

    Screen names and Avatars

    I use Dakan Kurano because he was the hero in a series of short stories I wrote during my early stint as an English major. I have always been into fantasy novels such as Dragonlance and the Forgotten Realms stuff (to name the more mainstream stuff), and was inspired by an assignment to write a...

    So there will be ZP previews on X-Play now...

    Well, really you just have to look at this as a step for Mr. Croshaw's career. I certainly hope The Escapist keeps him. Sadly, the truth is that someone some day will have more money to throw at him and we can't blame him for that. Everyone has ambitions. In my honest opinion, it wouldn't...

    Poll: Say a "Prey"er for me

    True, I focused more on what I didn't like, the shortcomings. Perhaps if I had posted it as a First Impression it would've been more accepted, but I felt that many of those elements of the game were parts that really spoke for themselves. I could've written about the nifty organic weapons, how...

    Capcom...why!?

    I couldn't agree more. A good thrashing to the Megaman team could do wonders for the stagnant series. The fact that Clover studios developed RE4 serves as even more evidence supporting that Capcom just can't seem to get the act together and really reshape their motivation and creativity and...

    Capcom...why!?

    I'm a long time fan of a series from a developer we've all heard of - capcom. Capcom has been known as a high quality developer for many years making such great games as Street Fighter, Ghosts and Goblins, the Resident Evil series and the greatest of all in my humble opinion - Megaman...

    Poll: Say a "Prey"er for me

    As one of the least hyped games over the past few years of the 360's reign, Prey was a game I was actually looking forward to. Of what little hype there was at the time, I knew that my expectations of a "different" shooter would be fulfilled. Having said that, being a seasoned gamer, I was...

    Scariest Moment In A Game

    All time scariest moment for me was in RE2 where you go into the interrogation room and you enter the room expecting something to happen to you, but it doesn't. You creep across the room making sure you have your shotgun equipped just in case and nothing happens. You pick up the puzzle piece...

    Saw Videogame Unveiled

    I understand and appreciate the creativity of the first saw, however after that point it felt like I was just watching a story with a soft-core suspense novel's storyline covered in a nice little gift-wrapping of smutty gore. Needless to say, I am in NO way looking forward to this debauchery of...

    Zero Punctuation: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

    The main issue that I have with the zapper is that it doesn't feel like you're holding a gun, it feels more like you're holding that silly crossbow thing that Link wields in the game that came with the silly attachment. In my humble opinion, the zapper was actually an epic fail on their part...
