    Unskippable: Sacred 3 - Fantasy Power Rangers

    Is this video not working for anyone else? EDIT: Never mind, it's working now.

    The Honorable and Dishonorable Game Mentions For 2014

    I think the reason so many people think you have a bias against Nintendo is that you do have a bias against long-running series, and there's a lot of overlap with that and Nintendo.

    Zero Punctuation: Sonic Boom - Boom or Bust

    The thing that really bothers me about this game is that Sega will probably use this game as an example to claim that Americans can't handle Sonic games and prevent Team Headcanon from getting any creative control, despite them being the only ones who have made good Sonic games lately.

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - $40 Demo

    Actually, Raiden in MGS2 did have a point -- people enjoyed MGS1 too much without noticing how tortured Solid Snake was supposed to be, so Kojima made a character who tried to be like Solid Snake by playing video games but was actually really pathetic. And then put the player's name on his dog...

    Lords of Shadow 2 Might Have Been Good, Had Dracula Been Evil

    I liked Aria of Sorrow. I even liked Dawn of Sorrow, despite Soma having absolutely no reason to be there. For me, the improvements to the gameplay were enough to make up for the weak story.

    Zero Punctuation: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

    The official explanation is that "final" can also mean "definitive". FFIV and FFX were actually good games, so it made sense for them to get sequels. Why'd FFXIII get two?

    Zero Punctuation: Super Mario 3D World

    There are twelve worlds, not eight. But yeah, I wish Nintendo would realize that shoulder buttons make the most practical run buttons. There are four of them now, so you'd think they could spare one.

    Zero Punctuation: Exclusives Showdown

    I figure I'm going to have to get a next-gen console once Kingdom Hearts III comes out. It'll probably be the PS4 because of brand loyalty.

    Zero Punctuation: The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker HD

    In terms of the potion industry, there is an optional "Hero Mode" in which enemies don't drop hearts. But Yahtzee might not have had time to try that before making the review (and it doesn't do anything about the soup).

    Zero Punctuation: Beyond: Two Souls

    If you're interested in the idea of games about ghosts moving furniture, why not try Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for the DS?

    The Death of Mario

    I'm not sure Mario ever was a "character" rather than intellectual property. Mario's sort of a proto-character, which probably comes from being in the game that began modern video games as we know them. He's essentially the least evolved video game character, coming from a time before...

    Zero Punctuation: Paper Mario: Sticker Star

    Okay, I just have to say . . . The reason for the sticker thing is that everything is made out of paper. Paper? Stickers? Get it?

    How to Title Your Stupid Sequel

    Another benefit to not using numbers is avoiding region-inconsistent numbering. The most famous example of this is Final Fantasy (where, until recently, Japanese IV was American II and Japanese VI was American III -- to this day, when someone says "Final Fantasy III", it's still not immediately...

    Unskippable: Armored Core V

    Maybe Fran and Rosary are one person with multiple personalities? Is that the plot twist?

    Big Studios Can't Produce Good Horror Games

    I'm generally in favor of the recent trend of PS3 remakes. You get two or three games on one disk, so it's a pretty good deal. I'd been meaning to give the Sly Cooper games a try, so when I heard that I could get all three at once, and in HD to boot, that was really convenient for me. More...
