Why have the last couple Zero Punctuations sounded as though they are rife with punctuation? Yahtzee's sounded terribly bored with reviewing Twisted Metal *and* Mass Effect 3, as though reviewing the games were interrupting his nap. Talk faster, man!

I can't accept the notion that Bioware shouldn't change the ending because "It's their game" and "artistic integrity is at stake." Neither of those statements is inherently true. If you're a fan of the ending, either as indoctrination artistry or simply as an ending that doesn't make much...

I'm not sure your age, so I can only reply broadly, but it seems to me you've missed a few points about early arcade games. I started playing in the late '70s, and didn't care about a game having an "ending" until I played Adventure on my Atari 2600, and if anything that seemed defeatist...

Piracy occurs when you steal a product, which is not the same as copyright infringement or plagiarism. Capcom isn't stealing 'Splosion Man to play it for free. They're stealing the concept it to make money off of it. You can be anti-copyright infringement and be pro-piracy.

True. The person below me has played a coin-operated video game in an arcade for 25 cents.

I'm sure the world is no poorer in any case.

I'd have to ask how much older music you've listened to, and how old you are. Because here's what happens: You listen to music until you're in your mid-20s. Then you get out of college or get a job or whatever, and you no longer have time to obsess about whatever they play on the radio...

Your friend was not justified in asking them to stop?people make out in theaters...either deal with it by moving or by paying attention to the film. The fact that you can't deal with men kissing isn't their problem, it's yours. However, spitting in your face as a reaction to the request is...

Beautiful song; lovely, ethereal voice. I really enjoy your work.

I seriously hope this was a failed attempt at humor...because what are you, like 12 years old? Abortion has been a very serious issue since at least the 1970s (as the Roe v. Wade case was presented before the Supreme Court in 1973) and certainly well before that, if you know your social...

Excellent review and spot-on. The mining is *dull*. You can tell players to ignore it if they don't like it, but then what's the point of having it if it's only enjoyed by some? I don't want to spend 50 bucks on a game that's only 80% fun. I miss the planet exploration; as the view from the...
