    289: My Nintendo Shame

    Pretty sure that's been the case with nintendo since... forever. People would buy a tin can with some lint inside it if it had Nintendo written on the side.

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    I already passed on this game, glad to see it's not worth my time. I actually really enjoyed The Force Unleashed, and even bought the DLC. But then Lucasarts released that "Sith Edition" with exclusive content, which was just a massive middle-finger to the fans who had supported the game in...

    280: The Devil Went Down to Nippon

    The ABC in Australia actually did an interesting story on Christianity in Japan, how they have to hide their faith and pretend to be Buddhist, even today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkw7UeX_p74

    278: Make Room for Kinect

    Japanese people already live with modular furniture. Apartment rooms are often multi-purpose, with tables that fold up and go into a closet, to be replaced with a folding futon. They have a lot of empty space in them because Japanese rooms come built-in with closets for the furniture. And given...

    Zero Punctuation: Dead Rising 2

    Oh god, they still do the "timer runs out in middle of boss fight, you lose" crap? I ragequit the first game over that, fighting the chick on the motorbike, her health was almost gone when midnight came or whatever and she rode off. So infuriating.

    Which gaming classics do you loathe?

    I think you're right. If RE4 had been called something else- I don't know, "Joey Joe Joe Jr Shabadoo's Wacky Spanish Vacation" or something- I'd probably have enjoyed it more. It was just too different from the RE games I loved and it drove me crazy.

    Which gaming classics do you loathe?

    I remember when Resident Evil 4 came out, everybody raved every single day how it was the bee's knees. I was a huge fan of the RE series but for whatever reason never got around to playing RE4 until one day I picked it up on the Wii, and... I don't think I've ever been so let down in my life. I...

    Zero Punctuation: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

    I avoided the first game because of the whole Gamespot thing, when I saw the trailer for this I almost felt insulted. I'm supposed to care about these guys enough to play their game? Really? So I passed. Glad to see that I didn't miss anything, aside from an experience akin to punching myself in...

    258: Every Game Is the End of the World

    It's always a pleasure to read something from someone who "gets it". I remember when I lived at home, my dad would be annoyed that I got annoyed or angry when playing a game; he'd say, well, "it's just a game". Then go and get annoyed or angry when his favourite sports team made a mistake...
