Amen, Jim. Amen. Rather than squealing and whining about the influx of Casual gamers "killing off the industry", self-professed Hardcore Gamers should welcome the new blood with open arms. Diversity is a good thing for the industry and for the medium as a whole, and the broad tastes of...

This game. This damn game. I lost hours and hours to this bloody thing when I was a kid, along with "Batman - The Caped Crusader" (a side-scrolling beat-em-up/adventure affair). I could only ever find one, maybe two pieces of the damn Batmobile before getting hopelessly lost, stuck, dying...

It was hilarious how all the Halo fanboys clutched at any comments in the review that weren't obviously hateful and held them up as "proof" that Reach is "te bestest gaem evar coz even Yahtzee lykes it!!1" Now they accuse him of backpeddling, or of being in some hypothetical Halo "closet", just...

You don't need Steam to buy it.

I've only managed to play about 45 minutes worth of Amnesia so far, because despite being a massive horror game fan this one turns me into a spineless, quivering wuss. I haven't been this creeped-out since The Cradle in Thief 3, or the month I spent loading up AvP and listening to a scuttling...

I've had similar problems with my "inner bully" when it comes to my writing; the words never come out exactly as I want them to, and I found Rebecca's words on the subject very inspiring. When you hit that wall it feels like you're the only one suffering with it, which compounds the self-doubt...

I can see why they wanted to avoid the Horror tag since horror as a descriptor has become divorced from its roots, so that the average person considers it to be nothing but gorefests and/or torture-porn. If Allen Wake has to call itself a "psychological action thriller" to shrug off this...

I don't think it really needs defending as it's a perfectly valid point. In an ocean of mediocrity, an island of shit is still an island.

This really brightened up my week when I saw it.

Ahh, Spectrum memories. I used to wire the exit room with traps on every door while my opponent did all the hard work. They'd HAVE to trigger one of them to reach the exit, leading to their demise, an easily-pilfered case sitting on the floor and sweet, sweet victory. Except when you forgot...

I had no idea he worked on Babylon 5. I've always known him as Mr Masks of Nyarlathotep. The Bradford Players' campaign audio recordings are a real treat for Call of Cthulhu fans, and RPG fans in general; I'm currently listening to their Walker in the Wastes and Tatters of the King...

Showing off your holiday snaps/footage is a great British tradition and I, as a fellow Brit, am glad Yahtzee hasn't forgotten that.

Heaven and Hell define each other. Without Hell there would no purpose to Heaven's existence as a place of eternal bliss. Without Heaven there would be nothing for the damned prisoners of Hell to hope for, thereby neutering Hell of its power (when suffering is all that you know of it ceases to...

God damn it Yahtzee, will you stop bloody reviewing the one DS game I buy per year?! The TWEWY one was a pleasant and amusing surprise but now you're reviewing ones I haven't even had delivered yet! *Shakes fist at Amazon and UK release dates) Another entertaining review as always though...

Is he Divine though? If he is then he cannot be the Messiah of Judaism, for it plainly says God cannot incarnate in the physical world in anyway. If he isn't divine then you are invalidating Christian belief that he was the incarnated Divine Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In this...
