Since apparently the people on this forum will praise absolutely anything, I'm obligated to critique. As Yahtzee said, the worst thing you can tell an artist is that his work is flawless when it isn't. You should pay close attention to the efficiency of your writing. One of, if not the most...

I posted a big review hyar http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.262527-Killzone-3-Beta-First-Impressions

Due to be released, depending on your location, between the 22nd and 25th of this month, Killzone 3 will be the latest iteration of the confusingly prominent Killzone series. The multiplayer beta was released just this morning, and, given the close proximity to the full release date, it will...

I wrote this piece directly after the aforementioned seven hour New Vegas dumbathon. So please forgive cliches, grammatical errors, lapses in tense, and the complete breakdown of any pretension of prose that occurred in the Sound paragraph I thought his little eulogy at the start of the game...

Since I started reading game reviews in OPS2 Magazine 10 years ago, the model of evaluation has stayed largely the same. A reviewer will smash a given game into four shards: Gameplay, Graphics, Lifespan and Sound. They will write a few paragraphs on each piece, culminating in a score from one to...

Yahtzee you bastard. I used to love my mum's cakes.

Well it started badly. Some of the analogies were a bit off. You described a bustling, crowded street as a catwalk of armour clad monsters, or something like that. Well catwalks aren't very crowded, or bustling. They're usually very orderly and quiet. So that was a bit of an inconsistent image...

Back in the day, Nintendo was fantastic, and developed some of the best games I've ever played: Zelda, Golden Sun, Pokermons, Super Smash Bros etc. They still make new games for 3/4 of the franchises I just mentioned, but they're no longer the main point of their focus. This means that whilst we...

Some people might think being paid to play games all week, then spout off about them for four whole minutes, would do for a pretty perfect holiday. Get back to work you lazy fuck.

The "new" Golden Sun is just a remake of the first, and you are a fanboy.

Theory: Nintendo is spiting Yahtzee by overtly making the same mistakes over and over again. Mario is dead in every shape and form; but if Nintendo made a third Golden Sun game I might actually buy a Nintendo console again. Or at least not end friendships when I find out a mate owns a Wii...

This is really terrible news. As a small, independent dev team; Valve have access to some of the basic ethical and moral standards that elude megacorps like Zenimax. If this goes through, I think we can bid farewell to the free updates, maps and weapons that come bundled with Valve games...

What a little wanker. Although he probably only had a few months left before he grew out of his wii anyway.

Drunken father kills son, missing video game blamed. Drug addict over-doses and dies of a brain haemorrhage, irritating girlfriend called in for questioning

I have an interesting relationship with the Uncharted franchise. My first real glimpse of it was the E3 presentation of Uncharted 2, whereupon after watching the first few seconds of that agonizingly pretty texture-orgy, I became an instant fanboy, developed a deviant texture fetish, and brought...
