    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    To be honest I didn't know any of this ever happened, mostly because as the one Crummy Bastard once said, "I live in a constant vegetative state of cannot be asked." Anyway, I for one am inclined to agree with the idea that multi-media, and by extension video games, have a notoriously bad...

    BioWare Launches Mass Effect 3 Combat Video

    The one thing that comes to mind as a long time Infiltrator, in that I think that class is being subjugated to only mirror the soldier class except with two or three tech powers. I was more hoping the infiltrator actually got to play with some infiltration mechanics, with some sneaky sneaky...

    Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic artist. Allison will be that artist. Better than she was before. Better...stronger...faster.

    UPDATE: Video of Females on Female Characters Panel

    Speaking about paternal motivations and situations with games the ever becoming go to sample Mass Effect 2 comes to mind with Samara with the details of what's done as her loyalty mission,still not spoiling it for those who have yet to play it or new PS3 players. Anyway with the specifics of...

    The Big Picture: Magneto Was Right

    Cracked took an interesting approach to the villainy of humans through the first X-Men movie, the article itself is more aimed specifically at movie villains hence why it ignores the comics & animated features, but anyway; The "villain": Headed by Senator Robert Kelly in the first X-Men...

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    At least in my little Google based researching genetically modified food is not only safe and more efficient, but its also becoming essential to sustain a world population over 4 billion, which that number I believe is the maximum projected figure that growing only whole organic food can feed...

    The comming year of 2011 in Video Games, also known as the year many of us will never see the sun

    So just looking over what has already been in development, if wikipedia is to be believed anyway, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_in_development , and there's still Gears of War 3, and what with Elders Scrolls V, Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Little Big Planet 2, Resistance 3...

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    While all true, none of these examples have the presence of deep rooted fears and internal doubts about herself for Samus. They're small moments of clarity, or reaching out distantly into the past. Tagging a name to her Ships' AI is a fair challenge to her previous relationship to Adam, but...

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Perhaps this isn't my place to argue, given I've played a whole three hours collectively of any and all Metroid games ever made, but this outside perspective may have some merit. Now if Metroid's wiki page is to be believed Samus has been running and gunning across the galaxy for some ten to...

    What is your argument for the violent video game case in the supreme court?

    Speaking about any such coloration between violent behavior & action and violent interactive mediums I can only speak to two distinctive points. The first being presented peer reviewed clinical data, of which I've never seen such a study done that has actual data to support the claim that...

    Escape to the Movies: Kick-Ass

    What I like about this movie is how completely balanced it is as far as consequence of action goes. If you want to go out and fight crime and as such criminals you're going to be breaking bones and tearing flesh at some point or another and eventually takes those blows back. That and it funny as...

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    Given the massive feedback coming off the FFXIII review it might be time to have another one of those Yahtzee responds videos similar to what happens with SSBB. The time frame works, a review that comes out gets an expected heavy amount of comments, a review for a God of War game, and then the...

    Escape to the Movies: Clash of the Titans

    MovieBob could not be more right about this movie. It's fun at times and the in between parts aren't so much bad as underdeveloped. Matinee movie of the week for me really.

    Zero Punctuation: Heavy Rain

    The thing you have to give Heavy Rain is at least it's an experiment with the establishment as video games as a story driven medium. Not to contest any other titles in their ability to tell a good story, which they can very much do and in some cases better then any other medium, but after the...

    Zero Punctuation: Aliens vs Predator

    To begin with a tip of the hat to Yahtzee, as we all love dropping to our knees and giving him a good slathering. Moving along I have to wonder in this current economy, given the there's at least four bus loads of game developers now out of job, how in the world is Sega even still running along...
