    Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill: Downpour

    Am I really the only one that had nightmares from this game? It wasn't the monsters, although those were still creepy just from the way they moved. It was that everything in the game looks like a malevolent face about to eat you. The walls, windows, sink faucets, random trash on the ground...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Old Republic

    Something I haven't seen addressed yet... The SWTOR story lines are the most interesting if you're willing to take dark side hits as a light side character, or light side hits as a dark character. Both light and dark side points are infinite anyway, since you can repeat the flashpoints and...

Since... you can watch it as many times as you like, you can give it to your kid brother if you're bored of it, and you...

    Jimquisition: Online Passes Are Bad For Everybody

    The same concept put in place by "used games" stores such as Gamestop -- The free trading and distribution of entertainment -- has been in place since time immemorial. Libraries for books and museums for art have existed for centuries. Now we have record stores for records/cassettes/CDs/DVDs...
