I wouldn't necessarily agree Thief was the -worst- game of 2014 on the merits, but I would agree that to anyone who was a fan of the original series, it was the most disappointing.

I thought RE4 mostly hit the right note for balancing action and survival horror. It had better gameplay and was faster and really more fun to play, but you were dropped on your own in an eerie village, and being alone had to be careful to make your bullets count. Inventory management was key...

Yes, it is. So people usually disguise the question as "So, what do you do?" which approximates the same information.

I couldn't will myself to stick with it through Mass Effect 1, I could never get beyond the broken gameplay either. I started with and played Mass Effect 2 and loved it, even played through it 5 or 6 times for fun and to make different character choices to import and see how different Mass...

In a perfect world, Crusader 3, the sequel to Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret. A Quest for Glory 6 would be nice too.

The moment I killed the Archfiend in Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja difficulty has to be at the top for me. :) It's one of the hardest games out there to finish on its own, let alone on the highest difficulty. Aside from that, the ending of Mass Effect 2 was a highlight, after finishing the...

Everybody Loves Raymond. Patricia Heaton and Brad Garrett were already fingernails-on-the-chalkboard levels of aggravating. Then the show's creator hired his relative to play Brad Garrett's wife, or girlfriend, or whatever she was. It's not like I had to suffer through it or anything - no...

Ninja Gaiden 3. Then they remade the game entirely by way of apology, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge was very good (to me, anyway).

The concept of sharing your library over the Cloud is intriguing. The thing is, the way it works is extremely nebulous, because Microsoft has done such an extremely bad job of explaining it, perhaps because even they haven't finalized how it's going to work. It doesn't seem like they have, or...

Even if Microsoft were to revoke its asinine policies on always-online, Kinect nonsense that I have less than zero interest in, and lent/used game restrictions, now they've very clearly told the gaming community where their mind's at. It's a little hard to un-ring a bell. So, no. The...

I loved this game. And I loved the review too, except I couldn't disagree more about the music, I thought it was great, especially for the boss fights. I haven't played any other MG games, but I played Revengeance for exactly the same reason I play the Ninja Gaiden series - for a...

So this is one to avoid. I really hope Metal Gear Revengeance is going to get a video review, I liked the game and Yahtzee's take on the final boss by itself would be worth it.

I really enjoyed RE6. It's definitely the most fun to play with a friend, but the AI partner is actually smart and won't get themselves killed like Sheva in RE5 every 10 seconds if you do play it alone. I'm not sure by what logic people can rate RE6 lower than RE5, really - the AI isn't dumb...

Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret. Always wanted to see where the Resistance would get...

Excellent. I loved the 360 NG2 despite its flaws and finally did my run on Master Ninja the other week. If they fix the camera and adjust some of the cheapness without adjusting the difficulty, this could be the action game to beat. I do wonder about delving into the "human side" of Ryu...
