    Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5

    Michael's justification for doing terrible things is the same justification Walter White uses, in my opinion. His life is boring, middle class and materialistic. Doing bank heists and pulling down peoples houses off cliffs is what makes him feel alive in his humdrum daily pointless life. With...

    Zero Punctuation: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

    With my astounding powers of precognition, I can predict the main topic of discussion in this thread: "WHERE'S GTA5" "WHY AREN'T YOU REVIEWING GTA5" "GTA PLZ" "#BOYCOTT"

    Grand Theft Auto 5 Review - People Suck

    Apparently light-hearted violence defines this medium. Not a compelling story (that GTA 5 has), or a huge, immersive world (that GTA 5 has), or even challenging themes that could only be explored through interactivity (that GTA 5 has), but light-hearted childish killing defines this medium and...

    That Mighty Boosh reference lighted up my day.

    Zero Punctuation: Spec Ops: The Line

    Yeah, the demo sucked, but that was only the demo. It was my GOTY, but I couldn't even completel the demo. After all, you didn't reach the white phosphorus bit..

    Watch_Dogs Movie Seeks Serious Star Power

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be perfect. A suave, black-haired, nonchalant action dude in his early 30's already equipped with some action movie experience under his belt. More well known than Andrew Garfield and less well known than Tom Cruise, he's not a household name or a recurring face in the...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: A Tale of Two Poets

    "And the fuel tank holds loads!" I lost it.

    Zero Punctuation: Lego City Undercover

    If there aren't enough big-budget triple-A games to review that you have to resort to Lego City Undercover, why not review some innovative, hilarious indie games? Like Battleblock Theatre, or Antichamber, both of which I'm sure you'll like.

    Escape to the Movies: 42

    Tomb Raider isn't THAT good. It's a mild distraction at best, and at worst it's a poor Uncharted clone. It's a muddy Uncharted with worse visuals because it's a cross-platform release, and the redesign of Lara doesn't mean anything because it's not used in any meaningful way, like Jason Brody's...

    Aliens: Colonial Marines Review - Game Over, Man

    You didn't seem to like Aliens: Colonial Marines, and had a lot to complain about. Why did you give it a positive 3/5 stars then? That's still a decent score, by no means great, but still decent.

    Top 5 Friday: Top 5 First Person Shooters

    Battlefield 3: 'The Single-player wasn't that good - 4th best FPS'. Ok, wait a second. You judged Far Cry 3, Half-Life 2 and Quake (to an extent) by their single-player, yet you exclusively judged BF3 by it's multi-player. A game should always be judged by it's single-player (if it's a...

    Zero Punctuation: DMC: Devil May Cry

    I liked the combat, environment design and cheesy God Hand-esque (though nowhere near as good) dialogue, but I didn't like the 30 FPS framelock for a spectacle fighter, nor did I relate to any of the characters. I really didn't notice the 30 FPS framelock on easy mode, but when it's harder you...

    Jimquisition: Dead Space - The Best New IP This Generation?

    I can't bloody wait to get my hands on Dead Space 3. I don't have as much respect as Jim for the Dead Space series, as my favourite new IP of this generation is Portal. I appreciate that Jim loves Dead Space's aesthetic, him being a big fan of Alien, but I honestly found Dead Space 2 to be...
