    Zero Punctuation: Medal of Honor Warfighter & Doom 3 BFG Edition

    Another modern shooter, another time we get to hear Yahtzee tell us how much he hates chest high walls, regenerative health, ect. This guy's reviews are more repetitive than the games he's ragging on.

    It's About Characters, Stupid

    You could very easily over analyze nearly any piece of fiction. Especially, when it comes to sci-fi or horror. Do you really take games so seriously that you can't appreciate them? Quit acting like it's supposed to be Shakespeare. I mean why are you even playing games if you're just going to be...

    Extra Punctuation: What Kinect Can Do

    The way I see it, the Kinect has the ability to replace one analog stick and one button. This allows it to play games with about as much depth as an Atari 2600 game.

    Extra Punctuation: Hating Warhammer 40k and Space Marine

    What are these diligent correspondents talking about? Resistance 1 totally had regenerating health. It used a health bar system, where each health bar regenerated only the damage it took. It was the same health system we saw in the Chronicles of Riddick games. And while I really liked it for...

    Poll: Why is melee over powered?

    I'm not the type of person who boycotts a game because it isn't perfect. I'll leave that behavior to the cry babies. I have the ability to like and dislike certain things about games. I call it forming an opinion.

    Poll: Why is melee over powered?

    Then why doesn't it work that if I shoot someone up close that they don't die instantly? Seriously, why don't they die if I pistol them in the neck, but if I knife them in the arm then they die instantly? It's not even like there is a transitional period to switching to your knife weapon...

    Gears of War has the best commercials.

    Can't say I like them either. Especially the first game. I'm not a fan of that music to begin with, but the song just has nothing to do with the game. It is kind of funny, though, watching these overly manly, steroid popping, men play out with this sensitive, sappy music in the background...

    Poll: Why is melee over powered?

    I'm just tired of out-smarting my opponent, sneaking up on them, shooting them SIX times in the chest and they just charge me and insta kill me with their knife. The physics are totally off. The least my bullets could do is slow them down. And why is it if I get shot enough, I fall to the ground...

    Diablo 3 no offline reasoning summarized by Penny Arcade

    They aren't all multiplayer. You can play WoW by yourself online. You're so funny, trying to come up with all these rules on why a game should be accepted as online only. First you say a game has to be an MMORPG, until I point out games like Team Fortress. Now you're saying the game has to force...

    Diablo 3 no offline reasoning summarized by Penny Arcade

    You're getting upset about Diablo 3 being an online game when they are offering FREE ONLINE. They said you can even use dial-up to play D3. Since it's not a competitive game, a high speed connection is not required. Blizzard isn't screwing the little guy who just wants to play the single player...

    Diablo 3 no offline reasoning summarized by Penny Arcade

    Since when does a game have to be an MMORPG to be online only? Now who's making the strawman argument? YOU ARE. Perhaps, I should have named Team Fortress, Combat Arms, or Mag. Which are online only shooters, but then you probably would have replied "Derp, D3 isn't a shooter. LOLZ" The core...

    Chronicles of Riddick: Butcher Bay

    You have to stealth around them. They are grounded armor suits, a small jolt of electricity is not going to take them down.

    instead of bf3

    I want to get BF3, but I'm going to hold out until 2012. I'll be picking up Resistance 3 along with PS Move when it comes out next month.

    Diablo 3 no offline reasoning summarized by Penny Arcade

    You do know that Blizzard isn't forcing you to spend anymore money after you buy your copy of the game right? I feel the need to remind you of that. In fact, Blizzard is even allowing a method through the auction house for YOU to make money and all they will take out of it is maybe $0.05 usd...
