You know, normally I take things Ben says with a grain or ten of salt but now that I've just finished this game for the first time, I think he's not accurate at all. He didn't go on about how much a pile of shit this game was, and god dammit, Claptrap acts like the robotic version of Jar Jar...

Indeed. I love mech games, but I get the feeling that he's going to slam it, and a lot of mech games are pretty 'eeeeehhh...' at the best of times. We'll see what he says about Hawken when it finally comes out. He loves indie developers after all.

I've long gotten the feeling that with the exception of a few games here and there, Ben's lost the original focus of what he's doing. I do respect him immensely as being a rather salty counterpoint to the mountains of 'professional' game reviewers who praise even the worst games. However, I get...

I just finished watching the first 6 episodes back to back to see what all the rage is about. Didn't like it. It's too 'white'. I need much, MUCH darker forms of fantasy to tickle the stick shoved firmly up my ass. Law Abiding Citizen, Gundam 00 (first season, second season is arguable)...

Besides Modern Warfare 2, the last Activision game I purchased was... Mechwarrior 2 I believe, if any of you can remember back that far. I suppose I semi-boycott them by virtue of being uninterested in their products. Blizzard now falls under the same roof and while I used to be an avid fan...

They screwed up D3 and SC2 by deciding to make them in the first place. The stories were closed sufficiently and the story of SC2 is just... Woefully, woefully inadequate and disappointing.

Oh, you mean like how they're breaking up one game into three and selling each for full price with Starcraft 2?

Hold up... Did Yatzee give Minecraft a nearly completely... Positive review? Interesting... Not that I disagree with what he is saying. :3

I didn't think it was possible for someone being Cynical to actually turn me off a game this quickly, but congratulations, there's always a first. So Yhatzee, firstly screw you for permanently destroying any remote curiosity I had to get this game and thank you because I now have money to spend...

I play the game, I know how it is. Maybe I'm wierd in that I do end game content for the experience of destroying the opposite faction in PvP and for actually fighting bosses for the challenge. The rewards (justice/valour/honour/conquest points and gear) are just icing on the cake and are by no...

All about numbers? My numbers are bigger than yours? Normally I think Yatzee's right on the money, but from time to time I get the feeling he really has to stretch and convolute things so much to make a show that it's no longer really sensical or applicable, and honestly I think with this video...
