    Zero Punctuation: Ghost Recon Wildlands

    Reviewing NITW in contrast to GRW was good, because it helps people to better understand where Yahtzee's desires lie, if they haven't watched all of his prior videos yet. All I know is I played NITW for about 15 minutes and realized it was an impeccable work of indie art but I had zero...

    Bourne Tops Box Office, Star Trek Drops Big

    Same problem here....I had no intention of seeing Beyond due to my irritation with the last two Star Trek films. Now I hear it may actually be good....but I passed the point where I need to rush out and see it; easy enough to wait for a blu-ray release of catch it at the second-run discount...

    The BFG - No, Not the Doom Gun

    I don't think its generational...but snobbery, definitely. The first heavy FX movie I saw as a kid was Star Wars in 1977, so I am part of the gen X crowd that grew up with conventional FX and have seen CGI become a "thing." Today's era of CGI is absolutely AMAZING to me as it's allowing us to...

    Zero Punctuation: Overwatch vs Battleborn

    Totally with you here. I actually bought Overwatch because of the story trailers and thought it was going to have some sort of campaign or story element in the game itself, and was totally surprised (due to my poor research, I guess) that it was nothing but shorty, frothy online arena matches...

    Zero Punctuation: Overwatch vs Battleborn

    I can't say I disagree with Yatzhee at all here, other than that I've been enjoying Battleborn a lot more, and for at least one reason he didn't mention: it's got SPLITSCREEN. Yeah! So my son and I can play it together. That, plus the campaign missions and solo play make Battleborn a better fit...

    Interactive Narrative Means Choosing How Invested You Really Want to Be

    You don't have to be a Sonybro or whatever to realize that Yahtzee has a bit of a weird bias here. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the notion that Dooooooom has a better narrative than The Last of Us. The former is...well....a fun experience that I have all but forgotten about after two...

    Interactive Narrative Means Choosing How Invested You Really Want to Be

    I'e played SH2 and the first Dark Souls and the similarities are skin deep (at best); SH2 has a deep story and uses a number of methods, especially cut scenes, to convey that experience. In fact I desperately wish Dark Souls were more like Silent Hill in many ways.....at least then I'd...

    Overwatch Review - Your Watch Has Begun

    OMG I cannot get that image/analogy out of my head now!

    Overwatch Review - Your Watch Has Begun

    Given how much lore the game has, I was shocked to find out it had no story mode. It seems like a big oversight.

    Overwatch Review - Your Watch Has Begun

    Yeah. absolutely. This is reminding me of some sort of inverted Destiny, which is a game I am still playing....but got crapped on heavily for being short on content by some people. Meanwhile, I've played like twenty games of Overwatch and already feel like I've seen all the game has to offer in...

    The Angry Birds Movie - Another Garbage Video Game Adaptation

    All I know is: I would never see this movie for myself (being an adult, and all that) and got lucky, as my kid's grandmother took him to see it. He loved it (he's almost 5). So....win for everyone! (except grandma)

    Erin vs Erin #1

    Well no issues for me other than that I'll miss Corey's absence for a while.

    Search For Young Han Solo Actor For Star Wars Spin-off Narrows to Short List

    I think its the confusion of him playing two roles. Plus.....hmmm...I barely bought him as Han's son. The idea of him as Han seems a bit far-fetched to me; he doesn't really look it (imo).

    Search For Young Han Solo Actor For Star Wars Spin-off Narrows to Short List

    Well....um....all issues with quality of the prequels aside, they were movies about characters who were either almost ALL dead or definitely die at some point in episodes IV-VI, so this logic doesn't fly. That said....I'd still prefer an original tale and new character, but I would also love...

    The First Ghostbusters Trailer Ain't Afraid of No Ghost

    If only every average movie trailer were capable of generating so much angst and rage....
