    Zero Punctuation: Lego City Undercover

    Well I can certainly confirm that the LEGO series as a whole seems largely geared towards parents working with their children, as that seems to be the lion's share of e-mails I get from people who read my guides, so I did feel it important to make a special note that the game was entirely...

    Zero Punctuation: DayZ

    I cracked up at the "Scotsman in an itchy kilt". XD

    The Motivations of Death

    No, dear Yahtzee. Trying something new is unappealing to the *publishers*, the guys who give the developers their money and get to say "No man, don't bother establishing character motivations or an arc or anything. We gave you this money so you can make heads fly off more spectacularly, now...

    Zero Punctuation: The Amazing Spider-Man

    Darth Vader's y-front. Now there's a mental image.

    Traditional Adventure Games Are Rubbish

    Was wondering when you'd get to Lone Survivor. Shame there won't be a ZP on it, but at least you gave your opinion somewhere.

    Zero Punctuation: Walking Dead

    Dammit, Yahtzee. I was holding out hope that there would be lemonade at the end of all of this! :( Also, I totally saved the man over the kid. Why? Because the man was trapped and the kid could have hopped right off the tractor if he had half a brain!

    Zero Punctuation: Risen 2: Dark Waters

    Ah, the lovely return of the post-feature gag. How I missed ye.

    Zero Punctuation: Prototype 2

    Hello then. Would that be John Defoe I see next to Jason Voorhees in that Blackwatch potentials lineup?

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    Obviously you've learned nothing, because if Yahtzee is truly a bully as you say, then you're giving him exactly what he wants: attention. And the genius of the Internet is that it's actually far easier to avoid "bullies" like Yahtzee (the kind of bully who doesn't even speak directly to their...

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    Yeah, okay. I mean, if you want to distill the argument down to word choice, I imagine I can come up with a better one. How about "protective"? Or "attached"? Or "apologist"? Yeah, any word can lose meaning when people improperly associate it too many times, but I'm gonna defend (ha!)...

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    See, all you're doing is proving an unnatural attachment to these games. Nowhere in the video or this column has Yahtzee personally insulted you. He's insulted the game's characters because it's funny, the developers for their failings, and people, as a group, who have misinterpreted his...

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    My statement isn't meant to be directed at people who enjoyed the game. You're free to enjoy the game as much as you want. In fact, I believe I stated my own enjoyment in my original post, and if you think it's even better than that, then I'm happy that you were able to get that enjoyment...

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    It's buyer's remorse, pure and simple. In the back of their mind, they realize that they're not getting the experience they've signed on for, but God forbid anyone says that their purchase was a mistake, because then they might have to admit it or realize their standards have lowered, and what...

    Mass Effect 3 Gets An Ending

    I'm gonna forego what most everyone has been on about and just ask the simple question: Is BioWare satisfied with what they've created? If the answer is yes, then by all means, don't change the ending no matter how hard we complain. Leave us to our devices of creating our own little...

    Survival Horror on a Cruise Ship

    Actually RE:Rev takes place in the near past. Since they're trying to go for some dopey continuity, it takes place before RE5, in 2005. Of course, this being the RE universe with its cute little hand-held scanner tricorder thingies, it may as well be the near future in an alternate history or...
