This is too long, but your argument structure seems to be: 1) Samus was not a blank slate, but she was a blank enough slate that you could plausibly develop the character that clashed with most people's expectations. 2) Therefore, if the character was developed in a way that is totally...

RE4 for gamecube was really, really solid. Great balance of shooting and horror atmosphere, really smooth controls. And if you're into it, F-Zero GX was mindblowing. MIND BLOWING.

The chauvinism isn't the part of this whole thing that stands out most in my mind. Instead, I'm just picturing a bunch of guys ages 7-47 sitting around TVs and "capturing babes" instead of talking to real women. And sure, I've spent years and years being guilty of that sort of thing. But...

Over the last year or two Yahtzee has solidified his place as one of my all-time heroes, but lately these reviews just haven't been as screamingly funny as they once were. The review of Uncharted 2 brought about an epiphany as to why: roughly 50% of all Yahtzee's game criticism boils down to the...
