It was always an open-world collect-a-thon, but that was back when that was relatively new, along with mixing in a whole bunch of different elements and game types that are seen together pretty often these days. What was great was the way it all came together - you bet your arse I collected...

My guess is you're still running around Chapter 2: That Fucking Over-long Swampy Hell-hole. I very nearly abandoned the game at that point and I know a couple of people who did. Forcing us to get all ten seals just to advance the story a little more was a shitty design choice and one I won't try...

My only real problem with the remake stems from the tagline on all the posters - "What if madness was contagious?" This holds up for the first half of the film, but gets completely abandonned for the second half. What you really have here is "What if zombies went crazy before all their skin...

And to you, Sir (or Madam, or anything in between as appropriate).

You're most likely right about that last part, but if I can return one last time to our string of tortured analogies, this feels less like "You shouldn't be benching those 450 pounds on your bad back" and more like "Get out of the gym, fatty, you're ruining the view!". Having gotten that off...

This just in, Nintendo's latest mobile outing is less powerful than Sony's VR-capable mainstay. "I am simply shocked", said No One Ever. News at 11.

This is all super isolating as an attitude. It's not just about people putting the money into having decent internet, it's also about the dev and publisher supporting enough servers in the right place. "Oh, you've got fibre but we couldn't be bother setting up a server in your country? That's...

So basically it's Nintendo's failed attempt at emulating Halo ODST, only forgetting about anything that made ODST good.

Makes perfect sense, but I think it's worth remembering that a lot of the interpretations we've seen of werewolves were built around the special effects available. What was great about Van Helsing was that for possibly the first time ever in film history, we finally had a werewolf that actually...

Man, you should really steer clear of the superhero fandom right now. That would not end well...

>In the end, NecroVirus feels like part proof-of-concept, part game. Necrovirus: The Quake 3 of board games.

"Abhorrent second chapter"? Have you forgotten how much the lycans sucked in the first one? The second one was the first in the series to have werewolves that actually looked anything like werewolves (mostly thanks to aping the design from Van Helsing). I have to admit though, I am a little...

If you're going to bandy around that "better than nothing" quote you should already know by now that it was entirely thrown in by the translator. Inafune has said pretty unambiguously that the numerous problems with MN9 are his fault and that he'll wear that. There's plenty of stuff for fans...

Well there's a surprise - Yahtzee is actually the most reasonable critic of this that I've seen yet. Not to say that he showers it with praise (that's not why we come to ZP), but he's just less butthurt than most people about its problems - most of which are inherent in making a new...
