I only bought my XBOX this past January. I hunted around for one from the Jasper chipset in the hopes of not getting the RROD. ... so far no problems. ;)

The gameplay problems Yahtzee mentions are all there (e.g. crappy AI, chaos-on-screen, etc.) but I would still say that Ghostbusters is a good game. My friends and I ended up playing it for HOURS this past weekend and while it is by no means perfect, it's undeniably entertaining (particularly...

I love them both, but if I was forced to choose... I'd have to go with Hot Fuzz. Not an easy decision, but I think the EPIC battle for Sandford at the end is one of the greatest sequences in movie history. So, Hott Fuzz wins by a narrow margin!

I try not to... but it's a compulsion! It's hard to look at bad punctuation and grammar. ... but correcting others is definitely a quick way to make yourself come across as a d-bag. There's really no nice way to do it.

Looking forward to cranking that AC and digging into some games I've been neglecting (Gears 2) and perhaps some new ones as well (Transformers: RotF? ... provided it's better than the first movie game). I'd love to go back to Warcraft for a while (quit for the safety of my GPA), but I don't...

Definitely morals. I couldn't live with myself knowing that I intentionally took the life of someone else. ... even someone I hated. No one has the right to do that. D:

Me too! That would be so fantastic. ... either that or a TV series. ;P

Stephen Fry's voice is nothing short of orgasmic. Even Yahtzee is not immune to his dulcet tones! ;)

Hahaha. I think my top score is somewhere in the low 70,000 range. :P

Somehow, I missed the news that Stephen Fry was doing the narration for LittleBigPlanet (I don't have a PS3, so I haven't played it yet). News that I might have missed this time around as well had I not gone back to watch the video again; pausing to take in all the text. ... it's really the...

I used to think I was epically good at Tetris on NES. None of my friends have ever beaten my high score (I'm sure other people have - just no one I know personally). ... but now that I've started playing Tetris Splash on XBLA, I have realised how terrible at Tetris I actually am. Oh, how the...

Amen to the jab regarding Michael Atkinson. I'm not even Australian and I worry about him (... and people like him and what their presence means for the future of the internet and the gaming industry). D:

My local library has carried PC video games since the 3.5" disk era, so having video games in libraries is not exactly unheard of. ... but having games from the current generation of consoles does seem a little strange to me. I could see keeping them for archival purposes, but I feel like...

That would be a very hard decision to make, but I think I would have to go with the SNES. It's the console that I find myself revisiting most often and it has an excellent library of games like Super Mario World, Tetris Attack, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Star Fox, and...

I believe Yahtzee said in his Mirror's Edge review something along the lines of a lot of newer games from the past few years have a tendency to come in one of two colours: "Gunmetal Grey" and "Dystopia Brown" (he was making the point that ME was a nice change). And a VG Cats comic from 2007...
