    Zero Punctuation: Video Game Voters Network

    I was all emotionally prepared for yahtzee to be announcing his retirement :( Oh well. Yeah I'll be voting whenever possible about this issue. Censorship is ridiculously stupid.

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    Never try to give previously silent protagonists personalities. The whole point of a silent protagonist is to project your own personality onto the character... to let you decide who you're controlling is. Changing it is going to be jarring at best.

    On Endings

    Aside on multiple endings: You're absolutely right that no ending should feel like the "proper" ending. Valkyrie Profile 1 for the PS1 had a incredible ending... if you got the A one. Most people got the B ending (which amounted to about 5 text boxes followed by rolling credits) since the...

    Don't Use the Word "Gamer"

    The stereotype is the problem, not the title. Changing the title won't change the stereotype.

    On Arty 2D Platformers

    They're fundamentally different. 3D platforming and 2D platforming are entirely different genres... kinda like the difference between a FPS and a 2D shooter. It takes great skill to make a 3D platformer out of an old one, mostly because you're making an entirely different kind of game. The...

    On Arty 2D Platformers

    Haha, while I like your theory of "little people in big scary world = us afraid of growing up and spiders", I think you're a little off base on the nostalgic graphics. Pixelated graphics are not bad, they're a style choice: Simplistic and leaving room open for our imagination to fill in the...

    Super Mario Galaxy 2

    Basically: 1) Yahtzee found the game disappointing because it's more of the same. 2) Others are saying more of the same isn't always a bad thing. Both are absolutely well founded and reasonable opinions. I can't see anyone making compelling arguments against either... you either wanted...

    On Kinect and PlayStation Move

    I disagree that motion controls are a step backwards... well partially anyway. For anything that needs force feedback (sword fighting, fishing, ect) motion controls most definitely are as bad as you make them out. Indeed, "things that need force feedback" includes most everything. There are...

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    The only positive thing I can think of about this game is that I like Lightning's character design. Also yay at referencing Edger's chainsaw. 6 is my favorite of the numbered series too, though I'll admit the battle system is extremely boring when put up to today's standards (however...

    Zero Punctuation: Batman Arkham Asylum

    I didn't realize it until now, but Batman definitely is the least interesting thing in anything he's in. Bruce Wayne is more interesting than Batman, and they're the same person :X
