Ah, but how about that? In one case, you're blowing your budget just to have overdone awesome graphics, with little gameplay effect. In the other case, you're blowing your budget so you can solve a design problem and try to develop technologies to actually improve dialogue-related...

This is a dubbing, isn't it. The guys playing are actually Japanese, and the voices are re-recorded specifically for this trailer, translated to English. That, or this is all staged, because there's no way it would sound this clean. They are participant in a high-tech mechanical mayhem, and they...

There actually exists a version of this trailer with vastly superior opening text. The one featured on the Escapist looks like a troll translation by comparison. No idea why someone would change it like that.

I'm afraid this, and all of the "$500,000!" comments are incorrect. The linked written judgement lists the amounts as $250,000 and $25,000 for the EIM and the con-man respectively: Just makin' things clear. The article probably needs an edit. Also, the full ruling is an extensively...

Yahtzee seemed kinda ...relaxed in this review. I got that feeling that instead of laboriously throwing out his usual concentrated, hi-octane criticism, he rather just sat comfortably in his recliner and lazily dispensed some off-hand pessimism, like one would smoke from a pipe stuffed with...

Oh, I don't know. For starters, about the only way to either prove or disprove the Utopia Theorem would be to test it, which is exactly what Valve is doing. And let's face it, if someone in the game industry is capable of thoroughly and objectively examining real worth of such a system, it's...

If it's slow, sung, and famous, "O Fortuna" is probably a good first guess, even though it doesn't really fit your, uh, transcription.

This. I believe Yahtzee touched on this point in the past - it's not Real 3D unless you can move your head and see new detail. This new Nintendo product is not a 3DS, it's a 2D-with-depth-perceptionS, migraine optional. My experience with stereoscopy is admittedly minimal, but I don't think one...

Man, that cheer at the "real date". You sound soooo happy. Makes me smile every time. It's also funny how you immediately came up with a "walking tank thing" when "Wanzer" pretty much means exactly that. I personally like the "Wanzer", but then again I'm not a native English speaker, this may...

I think the perceived problem is how accepted it is among the games, even the "serious" ones, more than the lack of any real attempt to make it "realistic". It's like not seeing your feet in an FPS - unreal, yet universally accepted. Some people are still bothered by it, of course, while other...

An entertaining column, but there's... a walrus at the dinning table. What is MovieBob even doing in this column? Doesn't he review movies or something? He's the guy who saw it fit to spoil the ending to Inglorious Basterds in his goddamn review. You can tell the other two are either politely...
