No he's right. There are many much worse games than Daikatana and even Half-Life had its share of inane jumping puzzles in repetitive gray environs. That 74/100 rating is a couple standard deviations away from the norm, but it isn't "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing" or "Cluster's Revenge."

I don't know what you are talking about you could seriously tear through the main quests in FO1 and FO2 in less than an hour. The games are seriously buggy, too. Yes, FO3 isn't the same caliber, but New Vegas is a true successor and it did a better job forcing exploration to draw out game play...

The Sin Episodes got sunk because the developer, Ritual, got bought out and the programmers got sent to work on titles for PopCap... a fate worse than death. Isn't a lot of DLC nowadays episodic? For the Fallout series, there has been pretty regular content for the last 4 years, and it...

I respectfully disagree. Mass Effect's grind/time wasting areas were almost completely optional and Yahtzee has a point; if he wants a cinematic showing you beam down to the surface, why is that so hard? If you don't want to watch it you could skip over it. A good fast travel system could also...

If Yahtzee hasn't heard already, the zombie corpse of MircoProse and the zombie corpse of Interplay might be reviving the Descent series. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Interplay-PC-Game-Descent-MDK,9671.html Oh how I miss the Wing Commander/X-Wing games. Tie Fighter is an amazing game...

How do you know it is the processor that died? In my experience, the following things are more likely: 1) Power Source 2) Motherboard 3) Video Card You really don't have many choices if it is a year old. It is either AM3 compatible if AMD or 775 compatible if it is Intel.

Wow... Physical Review E that like 4 letters less than Physical Review A. I think the APS should change their names of their articles.

I agree with Yahtzee that 3D and console co-development has nearly destroyed gaming. Spend any time in the Fallout crowd and its impossible not to pick up a thin conformal coating of hate for Fallout 3. Fallout 3 while very good, took out the things which made Fallout Fallout and replaced it...

Sequels that need to come sooner: Wasteland II Fallout 3 (no high hopes for) Fallout MMPOG Deus Ex 3 Sam and Max Season 3 Might actually happen: Kotor III X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter 2 Psychonauts 2 Never going to happen: Monkey Island 5 Loom 2 Grim Fandango 2 Wing Commander...

Darn it somebody beat me to bring up Loom. ("I'm Bobbin Threadbare. Are you my mother?" -Guybrush Threepwood) Anyways, what about all the innovative action-adventure games which nobody bought like Psychonauts or Beyond Good and Evil. As for Graphic Adventure Games, the new adventures of...
