Due to a couple slow days at work, I raided my mental iTunes and compiled a complete list of my opinions. Some of them are from previous posts, but I thought they were perfect, so credit where credit is due to the first people who posted. I list some of you but have probably missed others.The Tingler said:Sad that Zero Punctuation no longer begins and ends the reviews with wonderfully spot-on, ironic or sarcastic songs? Well then, here's where we come in! Suggest the songs you'd think would be perfect for each new game as reviewed. That way Yahtzee's getting his cake and we get to live in denial. It's win-win!
Any ideas?
