Yeah, using the term "objectively" is a bit of a douche move. Obviously it is a subjective choice. This is true, but I don't think this detract from the game any. Though, arguably it comes down from what you want from the game. For me, the scarcity of dungeons made them feel more impressive...

Not at all. MM is just an objectively better game the OoT. It builds on the foundation to create a far more complex and engrossing experience. I don't think anyone is trying to ignore the connection between the two - MM is practically an asset flip.

I suspect that we look for drastically different things in a Zelda game lol. It's really too bad you don't like MM. Any particular reason why? It has great atmosphere, a strong story, fantastic characters, and countless memorable moments. Not to mention that being able to transform into a...

I don't understand. How is the fact that Ocarina of Time made the list a travesty? You might not agree with its placing, but I can't see how anyone could come up with 10 Zelda games that are better than it. Ocarina of Time is impressive for how it handled the transition into 3D, bringing the...

Alan Wake was a neat little game, zero replay value, but neat nonetheless. I didn't play the expansion, but I felt that it was jarring the way it blended the mystery/horror elements with action. I think the game could have used a stronger focus on the former rather than the latter. As for...

*Spits out coffee* And these are being sold? SOLD?! (Clicks link to Red Bubble) Mother of God, the hubris. Look, I don't want to be a jerk. These are amateur and not in the least passable. I mean, if he was doing it for his own amusement, sure, but to get posted here as an actual article...

I, for one, am so incredibly glad that gamepad functionality will not be used for this. My kid as a Wii U and has broken the screen of the controller twice (being a kid), the frustrating fact that controllers are not sold separately has put quite a damper on the system. Minecraft is her...

I find the claim that videogames *need* to innovate a dubious at best. I think we've reached the point where the focus needs to be on crafting strong stories like TellTales "The Walking Dead", Naughty Dog's "Last of Us", Irrational's "Bioshock Infinite" - these are examples of games that didn't...

Top form, Yahtzee. Laughed my ass off. This series is quickly becoming a favorite.

Baroness didn't really do it for me. Yellow & Green sounded fine, just didn't click with me. Something about it didn't grab my attention - which is probably best for writing papers :P. Still, I have listened Rishloo to death and will do so many more times before these weeks are up. Thanks again...

So....Rishloo are amazing. I've been digging around for another band in this niche for some time. Thank you very much. I find heavier rock/Industrial/Prog difficult to find bands I like in, while I adore the style. These guys are very good. Listened to the Feathergun album twice and it is a must...

I went through Goldfrapp's work last night, while writing a paper on West Indian immigration history, I have to say that I appreciate what they are doing - though, ultimately it doesn't work for me. I'm actually in a band (currently recording debut) and we were talking about doing a track very...

Never heard of them, will check them out! I actually really like APC, Thirteenth Step might be one of my all time favorite albums. Heard of Mogwai, but have never heard them. Will check out. Not a fan of Korn, Lacuna Coil, or NIN (which is odd, given how often NIN and Maynard collab)...

I adore Tori Amos, thanks for the suggestion though :) I will check out Peter Gabriel and Goldfrapp and get back to you on 'em. I already listen to Bjork and quite enjoy her work. King Crimson, I tried out a while ago and didn't care for them - but I will give them another go :) I own...

Duke, as a character, cannot fly in today's society. It was fine when most gamers were younger with a more immature perspective on the world but now he just comes off as gross, dumb, and woefully outdated - since a large percentage of gamers have matured and are actually functional adults...
