    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2015

    I think that's an absolutely wrong attitude to have. For starters, it's a dude's personal list, so whatever ranks ranks. Also, for a reviewer to cater to a preconceived notion of what is best is for them to make themselves redundant and thus unnecessary. Plus, something universally loved...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    I think that the game poses a really interesting question to consider. I mean, games are the only medium in which you have a choice, the freedom to go through it without experiencing all it has to offer. So why should games always insist that a player find everything it has to offer...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    The thing about art of any kind is that it's almost never literal. Like, in a lot of video games, you can climb up really tall buildings, fall off and die. Does that actually make you feel like you just jumped off a building? Maybe nobody is as nice as in the world of Undertale, maybe...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    The thing about Undertale is that, at least for me, it's completely shifted how I view combat in games overall. Soon after beating Undertale for the fourth time, I borrowed a copy of A Link Between Worlds. Every time I cleared a screen of enemies, left it and returned soon after to find...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    I didn't mean to target you, really. If you don't like the gameplay, then it can't be helped, but you can at least recognize it as more involved than the average RPG interface. I was more calling out people like Kahani that seem to need games to be toys to enjoy them. And I think that kind of...

    Undertale May Be This Year's Best Written Game

    When I look through criticisms of Undertale here and anywhere else, one common thread I notice are the people saying "BUT IT'S NOT FUN." I can go on defending how Undertale is one of the few RPGs that integrates a non-menu element into its combat and contains more entertainment value by...

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    Definitely a spot on review. I bought the game much more optimistically, hoping it would right the wrong that is Twilight Princess. While I think it's better than Twilight Princess, it's a matter of having a few higher highs. The rest is made up of lower lows. The...

    Zero Punctuation: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    A Truckasaurus reference? Is yahtzee watching Archer's Aussie run?

    Zero Punctuation: Brutal Legend

    It did introduce the tab slabs and the solos it gave you were strong enough to give you the incentive to find them, though I agree that there's a large gap in significance between the solos and other unlockables. I think there was enough mainstream industrial (not all metal) there. This game...

    Zero Punctuation: Brutal Legend

    I think that it should be common sense to gamers that most exploration will be rewarding. Who hasn't traced all the rooms of an RPG dungeon, braving annoying random battles, for that extra treasure chest, whether it contained another potion or really good armor? Who hasn't explored a Zelda...

    Zero Punctuation: Brutal Legend

    Youtube. The 720p playthrough has no commentary.

    Zero Punctuation: Brutal Legend

    This just seems a complete 180 from the Psychonauts review in terms of what Yahtzee's looking at. The complaints are legitimate. The game didn't exactly live up to its potential and suffered from somewhat of a lack of cohesion. It was quite short and some things weren't explained too well...

    Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

    No mention of Brütal Legend? I take that as a good sign because Yahtzee couldn't even attempt to criticize it, haha.

    Zero Punctuation: Duke Nukem Forever

    I'm surprised Yahtzee didn't mention the epic scene, wherein you must form a techno-punk band to infiltrate the domain of the mole people and murder them all with your laser show.

    Zero Punctuation: Ninja Gaiden 2

    For once, I disagree with you, Yahtzee. Pirates aren't the best. Vikings and zombies are, haha. I haven't bought the game yet, so I can't judge the review otherwise, really, but it was comedic as usual and change from my boring life, again, as usual.
