Yah, I got to the bamboo cutting mini-game and was like "This is fun", but then the guy tells me "Oh, you'd do better if you had a longer sword", and all I could think is "OR YOU COULD LET ME STAND CLOSER TO THE BAMBOO IN THE FIRST PLACE, A*****E" Really though, so far I'm pretty well pleased...

As someone who's been playing Zelda since it's inception, I'm honestly kind of baffled by the complaints directed at Skyward Sword of constrained exploration and questing areas. At what point exactly did Zelda, in particular post OoT-Zelda, become some sort of open world explore-fest with...

Couldn't agree more on both Frisky Dingo and Moral Orel. My additions... I would say Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, but it actually seems to be doing ok for itself recognition-wise now. Brilliant, extremely odd show. To hop in the way-back machine for a moment, I wish both Gargoyles...

The acting, mostly, for me. Holy crap. After seeing the first, my first thought was "Surely they couldn't have a worse actor than that kid for Anakin in the second (my second and third thoughts being, respectively, "Doesn't seem like as many people are clapping now as were doing so at the...

Now come on. I don't have anything against Pokemon, I enjoy playing it with my girlfriend, but let's not pretend it's something it's not. Even most mediocre FPS's have, on average, a more interesting, cohesive story than "Young kid leaves home to enslave powerful monsters and force them to...

It's amazing that Nintendo is worried about publicity with a series that sells like gangbusters with EVERY iteration despite the fact that it's the same game every time, just with different skins on the monsters.

Yes, exactly. Glad someone said it. The idea that a game needs to be entirely original to be good, or that originality alone is enough to make a game good, seems... nonsensical. Take MadWorld, for example. There have been people who have complained that we don't see more games like it on...

I think you're underestimating the resilience of the human body; but, while you can do fatal things to enemies (I personally have lost count of the number of poor slobs I've tossed over the railing to their doom in the Shock and Awe challenge alone), her point is that you don't have to.

As a fully informed fully American, I would like to make a fully-assed observation. We did not have "reasonable suspicion". What we had, in fact, was shaky information from sources who were known to be unreliable and a corrupt White House leaning on the intelligence community to provide the...

...I'm not sure if this counts as observance, or lack of it...? A disappointing review for sure. I'll still pick up the game eventually as I'd like to encourage Schafer to continue making games, and I'm sure there's enough of a good game buried in there to overlook the RTS stuff, but still.

That's a shame, because the movies improved considerably once that hack Columbus was given the boot. Ever since the third, these films have been increasingly well done. This one, however, improves on things to a degree such that even the nit-pickiest of nit-picky fans won't be able to find...

I'll add a bit more to this later, as I'm short on time, but I'd like to offer the counter from someone who is also a huge fan of both the books and their adaptations. HBP was, I will agree with the OP, the best of the films thus far. IMO, the scene at the end which was left / replaced works...

Yikes, Freudian much? He's right, though. I mean, even MMO's are not unlike work, but at least then you're offered the pretense of human interaction...

I don't think anyone else cared that much. They were too distracted by the horror. Favorite bit has to be when they start doing the X-Files theme in response to the guy saying "Trust no one."

One review of a Sims game, in the form of Sim City Societies, is QUITE ENOUGH. I'm fairly convinced that, rather than being games, The Sims et. al. are meant to be a giant social experiment run by the secret masters of the world, where they sit in their underground bunker going "Holy shit I...
