    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer Rises

    Speaking as a Nintendo guy, I only have one thing to say: We can argue about how it's okay for Nintendo to make not one, but two more sidescrolling Mario games due to what they released prior to it (Mario 3D Land, Galaxy 2), how it's supposed to be a retro revival, or what have you, but let's...

    Escape to the Movies: Detention & Lockout

    You mean Keiji Inafune? He didn't say the same thing; he said the Japanese industry was falling behind and offered reasons why. All Fish said was, "I'm sorry, Japanese games industry, but your games are f*cking terrible." Want a direct quote? Here you go...

    Skyward Sword

    I want to say that you're trolling, but I'll respond anyway. A flaw that you fail to notice doesn't make it any less of a flaw. That's like saying a tree that falls with no one around to hear it doesn't make a sound. Unlike most fans of this game, I'm assuming, I wasn't hyped for Skyward...

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    I'm pretty sure that Nintendo, just like any software company, cares what their customers think, it's just that whoever has criticism has no idea how to properly state it, and thus get ignored. Now is the perfect example: anyone that has played Zelda, including those that made the games, knows...

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    As a Zelda fan, I pretty much have to agree with Yahtzee that this is the worst Zelda game I've played thus far (not a bad game, just a huge letdown after waiting all this time): it just feels incredibly small, padded, and directionless in a lot of aspects. But I do implore not just you...

    BioWare Employee Busted in Dragon Age 2 Review Scandal - UPDATED

    Message to EA: Extra Credits made an episode about how you guys seem to make no effort to think before you act when it comes to marketing. It seems the same can be said about your damage control. Like you said, I'm sure Obama voted for himself, too. But this isn't a vote; it's a review...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Mario Galaxy 2

    Remember what happened when Modern Warfare 2 tried to include a story? That's right: it became a ramrod linear experience that could be completed in a single sitting, and the game had to try (bold and underline the word 'try') to add varying levels, but couldn't do much without going against...

    Zero Punctuation: Red Steel 2

    You want to know what Fischer Price makes? Jungle gyms; they also call them 'play stations.' GET IT? And as far as I can tell, Nintendo does know they're a game developer; they made more critically acclaimed titles than Sony and Microsoft, and their choice to go with motion controllers has...

    Zero Punctuation: Red Steel 2

    You want to know how long it took me after pressing 'play' to get to the 'game' aspect of this game review? 45 cocking seconds. Seriously, Yahtzee, why even bother reviewing Nintendo games? I was hoping you'd focus on the game and just the game like you did with Bowser's Inside Story, but...

    Zero Punctuation: MadWorld

    Considering that most reviews on Madworld are the complete opposite of what's seen in this video, all of the humor I was hoping for quickly dissipated into nothing, much like the balloon analogy. It's really hard to laugh at another 'Wii Remote controls are bad' when everyone says the...

    Zero Punctuation: Saints Row 2

    Wow, this was actually a really good video... I hate to say that I've found the last couple a little stale. They put a smile on my face, but that was about it. I think it's because this little review is a bit reminiscent of the very first ZP videos: fast, but calm and collective. Even when...

    Zero Punctuation: Ninja Gaiden 2

    Let me just get it out of the way before more uninspired 'good one' posts appear that I want Yahtzee to go back and watch some of his very first ZP/FR videos. I was wondering what was so different, in a bad way, about his latest films and I discovered that it's because he went from a very proper...

    Zero Punctuation: The E3 Trailer Park

    FINALLY. SOMEONE GOT IT ****ING RIGHT. I'll admit for the past week, I just thought, "Oh, christ, Yahtzee is going to ***** about how laughable Nintendo's E3 was, like the past ten or twenty some Internet webcomics and such." But this was my favorite video thus far, which is good, because...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid 4

    It really pains me to say this, but I agree with Yahtzee on just about everything. I always called BS on Metal Gear being a '99% movie/1% game' series, but MGS4 is pretty much that. I didn't realize it until the very end of the game, but if you play through the whole thing while skipping each...

    Zero Punctuation: Condemned 2: Bloodshot

    That bit about 'like the serial murder right behind you, don't turn around!' actually made me look over my shoulder ¬_¬ So from what I can get from both Condemned games is that the first had some good things going for it as well as some mishaps whereas the second one fixes some of those...
