    Jimquisition: An Industry Of Pitiful Cowards

    I think I agree with what quite a few people have suggested here, in that the situation is less indicative of companies running away from one formula or idea, but rather running towards another. Like in so many other avenues of modern life gaming now suffers from the "mega-star" syndrome...

    The Tale of M and S

    Arguing about the difference between console and PC is as pointless as arguing the difference between a car and a motorbike...

    Stealth Games Don't Have to Be About Killing People

    One thing that it seems that everyone agrees on is that there is some very interesting potential in these ideas. Going back to Yahtzee original 3 class suggestions the slight problem I see is that the 2nd and 3rd classes (Spy and Conman) are fairly similar to one another and could have quite a...

    A Storytelling Crysis

    Whilst I agree with pretty much all Yahtzee says in this EP, part of his central agruement is completely flawed... Crysis 2 was released in March 2011!!!! Crysis 3 was released in Feb 2013!!!! This is not a year, it's almost exactly 2 years... agreed that's a lot less than say HL1 ->...

    Games With Fake Wars Are Stupid

    I think that we partly have Kiefer (William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus - lol!!) Sutherland and the series 24 to thank for popularizing these types of storylines. In a thinly veiled attempt to not appear TOO racist or xenophobic the series 24 often ultimately has the muslim terroists in the...

    Zero Punctuation: Crysis 3

    I hate to point this out but Crysis2 was not released less than a year ago, in fact it was just under two years. Seems like Yahtzee is crossing the 30 barrier when suddenly things start seeming like they happened less long ago than they actually did... and just to illustrate my point, the...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

    Both of you present pretty reasonable, well formatted opinions... the problem is that without looking very far you can find quotes, citations or statistics to support virtually any point of view. Its human nature to heed and adopt philosophies that coincide with our own whilst glossing over and...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

    Whats scares me here is that I honestly can't tell if you're taking the piss or not. Every cell in my body wants to believe that you're joking and being ironic, but I can't shake the horrible feeling you actually mean this. Just in case you are a paranoid, right-wing, gun-nut, shithead (or...

    Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

    I doubt anyone is really reading this at 900+ posts but here goes... I guess it means I am getting old but what really suprised me through all of this is this whole console "fanboy" thing. I guess can understand how someone can be a "fan" of one game or another, and I can even understand...
