I'm surprised that Shadow Warrior hasn't gotten a review or very much of a mention yet.

My brother got Killzone 2 for free with his PS3. I played a bit of it before I got too frustrated with it. A lot of what you mentioned for this review was some of the same stuff that annoyed me for number 2. I wonder if they kept the completely idiotic vehicle designs and awful gray color scheme.

I have a Half Life 2 LP on youtube that I haven't updated in 3 or 4 months, mostly because trying to edit together a break in game play was an extremely tedious task. Though, now that I'm on spring break from college, I have the time to work on it. I'll think I'll do that now.

So when the game was in production, the bad guys were Chinese, but apparently it was hard for a western audience to grasp the concept of evil, invading space Chinese. I have to wonder if it really matters anyway since the entire game seems to be focused on fighting robots. Also, who were the...

I think another reason for why gamers and nerds like zombies so much is that it appears to be an excuse for why we play video games so much. A lot of people think that just because they can ward off a zombie swarm in Left 4 Dead, they can do it in real life. What they don't know is how to turn a...

I've never heard of this Director or Writer, but when the bar is set so low, you could only get better. I won't be surprised if this movie has only one or two other mutants from the comics, and not the terrible smorgasbord of cameos in the terrible Wolverine Origins movie. At least it...

I'm not sure if it was the final boss in DR1, but I know the tunnel vehicle section that had millions of zombies in it was a pain in the neck. I was borrowing the game from a friend, so I never beat it, I don't even know if I could.

First of all, having the Rookie play detective is not an excuse to make a character silent or not have any character at all. Also, being the only survivor and all that means nothing to an ODST. They ride down to hell feet first not expecting to come back up. I mean, if the Rookie is that much of...

So he does talk? I haven't played the game yet. I dunno, making the campaign character be the same as your multi player character seems a tiny bit silly since none of the other characters notice your change in outfit every time you unlock something in multi.

For some games, I don't mind having a silent protagonist. But ODST annoyed me with it. Not only did it have an awesome cast of voices, they let play as each of those characters, having their voice come out of the player. Then, after enjoying the cast of Firefly, you're thrown back into the...

What makes PoP: Warrior Within even worse is that the very beginning takes a long hard dump on the ending to Sands of Time. I haven't played Singularity, but the thought of you actually going back in time to shoot yourself seems interesting. I think good, complicated time travel is something...

So they have some narrative exposition from Optimus Prime... and then more exposition by Spike Spiagel before he grabs a throat lozenge. And yet, I know nothing as to why they are fighting except that Megatron= bad.

Bulletstorm looks interesting. It's being made by People Can Fly... but also being published by Epic. I wonder if it will be as fun and frustrating as Painkiller. Also, I wonder if Yahtzee played Painkiller: Resurrection and if he thinks that it's any good. I have it on Steam, but I dont want to...

In the special edition of MGS:3, there is a special cut scene mode where it goes through all of the scenes with women in them and you can push a button to see them in their underwear. It's pretty weird.

I have a criminology text book which I used in college which had a page on "Gaming Causing Violence". It detailed how some teen stole a car, got arrested, killed a cop, and then fled. Of course, everyone in the report blamed video games. In reality, the kid was an extremely disturbed individual...
