    Zero Punctuation: Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

    "It's like a fucking James Bond film but James Bond has had all his charisma sucked out and replaced with unresolved parental issues." So it's a Daniel Craig James Bond film then?

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition

    They need to re-release Loom.

    Unskippable: Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark - Darkest Dark

    The good one was the Armada-based Transformers video game for the PS2. Sure, Armada was a crappy series, but the video game was awesome.

    The Fast and the Trekkiest

    Kirk and cars don't go well together [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC_af3eOJb0].

    Zero Punctuation: Sonic Boom - Boom or Bust

    Wait, using Ape Escape as an example of a "pre-analog stick PS1 game"? Not only did Ape Escape support analog sticks, it was the first game on the system to actually require them. You really couldn't have picked a worse example there. EDIT: Damn it, a few seconds too late.

    Uncivil War: Quake - Speed Run Finale!

    Doesn't Quake have insanely buggy movement controls? I was surprised that I didn't see any attempts at rocket-strafing or dinglehopping or whatever other exploits Quakers use to go faster.

    Jimquisition: It's Not A Video Game!

    Thank you for this newest incarnation of the Jimquisition video game (after all, it's a piece of entertainment delivered through a digital medium, therefore it must be a video game.) I liked it so much that I decided to play the forum comment video game to tell you that. I think I go and read an...

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    The beginning of that reminded me of the intro to The Humans [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy9vqPGBuH8]. I should play that game again. It'd probably be a lot more fun than Destiny.

    Escape to the Movies: Leprechaun: Origins - Fool's Gold

    Were "The November Man" and "As Above So Below" not screened for critics? They seem like the closest things to big releases this week.

    4 Marvel Universe Continuity Gags We Actually Want to See

    The reason why the quote is so general has to do with the character's origins. When the character first appeared, he wasn't the Norse god of Thunder. Instead, he was a crippled doctor named Donald Blake who discovered Mjolnir in a Norwegian cave (where it was magically disguised as a walking...

    Unskippable: InFamous Second Son, Part 1 - Weakly Fight the Power

    I was actually kind of hoping for a "Flash of Two Worlds" type deal, since it would fit with the comicbook inspirations for the series, but I suppose Infamous takes more of its cues from Marvel than it does DC, with the first game clearly riffing on Spider-Man (down to having a character who...

    Unskippable: InFamous Second Son, Part 1 - Weakly Fight the Power

    I was really hoping that this opening would explain how this game even exists given how Infamous 2 ended, but nope. Is this just meant to take place in a parallel universe to the PS3 games, with this new guy being the Barry Allen to the originals' Jay Garrick?

    Zero Punctuation: Murdered: Soul Suspect

    Yahtzee slagging on the new consoles is getting to be as tedious as when Moviebob would crowbar an attack on The Amazing Spider-Man into every video regardless of how ill-fitting it was. Especially since the 7th console generation was among the darkest times in the history of video games and we...

    LoadingReadyRun: Cleaning Day

    So was there any trickery involved in the labcoatification of Paul, or did he just put it and the goggles on really quickly?

    LoadingReadyRun: The New Old Thing

    FreeDOS, an MS-DOS compatible operating system has already been available for years, and it's licensed under the GPL which means that you're allowed to sell it (you have to include the source code with the binaries if you do, and you can't place any restrictions on the buyer re-distributing it...
