    How Shadow of Mordor Embodies the War on Terror

    Absolutely fantastic article! I don't think there can be a discussion about this game that is more important than the one presented. I haven't played Shadow of Mordor yet, but I have seen quite a few reviews and gameplay videos for it. It had always struck me as being out of place in the Tolkien...

    Heroes of The Storm Technical Alpha Goes Live

    Those classic Warcraft III spell icons! I just got a wave of nostalgic happiness. Even though their free to play model is similar to LoL the fact that they not only show you specifically what character models and skins look like, but let you play any character BEFORE you drop money on one...

    The History And Abuse of The Fedora

    I love the balanced approach this article takes when examining the issue. Critical Intel always feels like a lifeboat of journalism in an internet sea of buzz words.

    D-D-D-Danger! Watch Behind You

    I like satire. I love well executed satire! I love well executed satire on the internet that openly admits to being satire because it cuts down on the amount of comments from people who missed the intent to satirize. You managed to do this last part in an engaging fashion as well! So...

    Metro's Bullets Make A Better Currency

    I think the easiest way to incorporate a survival for defense trade-off in the Metro series would be to require the player to buy the majority of their gas mask filters. Buying a lot of gas masks and ensuring you have plenty of time to explore on the surface could be seen as a sort of risky...

    The Medal of Honor Curse

    What a great article! As a MoH: Frontline and Rising Sun player back in the day I always thought that the series was one of the biggest stepping stones toward the modern day shooter. This helped fill in some of my gaps in knowledge and really tie everything together. Come to think of it, I...

    Context, Challenge and Gratification

    I'd be up for seeing these categories used in future Zero Punctuations. Anything which might spur a new style of video game reviewing away from the 1-10 faux objectivity model used now. Opinions will always be subjective no matter what kind of numbers you put with them!

    Poll: Favorite form of alcohol

    Since there seems to be debate over good beer I thought I would just throw this in to help http://beeradvocate.com/lists/popular . Just remember opinions are always subjective :)

    Obsidian Unveils South Park RPG

    Y'know, considering how often the show makes video game references (not to mention whole episodes about specific games like WoW and Guitar Hero) I think Parker and Stone could potentially be good at writing for games. For something like this, too, you especially want the original writers if they...

    Jimquisition: Hate Out Of Ten

    Ties in nicely with: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/3607-Metacritic-Isnt-the-Problem OT: It all goes back to fans who need some sort of "objective" proof that a game they love is indeed a masterpiece. The problem is when fans forget that numbers =/= objective data...

    The Escapist 2011 Reader Survey

    You know, I bet a bunch of people are going to take the survey anyway even though they keep being incorrectly flagged as under 13. I hope that won't skew your results :/

    For the older gamers (10+ years of gaming), what is your GOTD (game of the decade)?

    Let's see... This decade I made the shift from my favorite game company being Blizzard to Valve, but I would still have to say my favorite game of the last decade was Warcraft III and its expansion. The RTS part itself was fun and all, but I really, really, really, really, really enjoyed...

    What Your Archmage Build Says About You

    Absolutely fascinating! I always like to tell people that gaming's real strength as a medium is its interaction with human choices. Research like this should be one of the new directions game developers should explore for improving their games. After all, who wouldn't like a game that was...

    Unskippable: Metroid: Other M Part 2

    Out of all the Unskippables this game is the most excruciating one to watch. Graham and Paul are solid as ever, but the story tries so hard to be serious while failing so incredibly! They are trying to shoehorn a horrible personality onto a Nintendo favorite. It's like watching someone try to...
