    Zero Punctuation: Pikmin 3

    Uhh... Why didn't Yahtzee bother to check out the other control schemes? Wii remote + Nunchuck is much more intuitive than the GamePad.

    Reminiscing: 2000-2010

    Fav game: Super Mario Galaxy - I had so much fun with this game. The music, the vivid worlds, the mind bending physics puzzles. It's a game that has been burned into my memory forever. Most influential - Halo - as much as I meh the franchise it did set the tone for the decade of gaming to...

    iPhone - Yay or Nay

    I love the UI but there's too many stupid limitations in the OS. Like, it can't multi-task at all which is pretty stupid. The battery life is pretty poor too (my friends have said it lasts a little over a day at best). Still, you can get amazing applications and games for it. I guess that...

    Your 'line'

    My friend says "let's drown this baby up a notch!" when he's psyched to do something.

    "Why Are You So Anti-social?"

    I can't participate in things I think are meaningless... Can't do small talk, so that puts a lot of people off. Also, if I meet someone and don't know them I have no idea what to talk about so quite a lot of the time I'm a walking awkward silence or I panic and say something offensive like...

    Your first video game!

    Super Mario Bros. I was 4 and forced to go to a gathering at someone's house... Asked my dad if it was okay if I stayed in the boys bedroom because I felt ill (really, I was just scared of social situations and wanted to get out of it) and he let me... I saw a NES in his room and ended up...

    Sega "Probably" Finished With M-Rated Wii Games

    I don't understand... They made a game like Madworld, which is by its very nature a niche game. Black and White, gory, hip-hop soundtrack, tongue in cheek... and they get niche sales. What did they expect? The same can be said for games like HOTD:OK - its a very offensive grindhouse rail...

    resident evil the darkside chronicles

    Looks good but I've kind of overdosed on rail shooters. I have RE: Umbrella Chronicles, House of The Dead 2&3 Return, House of The Dead: Overkill aand Dead Space: Extraction already so I think I'll pass.

    Poll: Most useless AI ever.

    The AI in Oblivion/Fallout. In Fallout 3, at the start of the game I chose to kill the overseer, and his guards didn't do anything. Just stood there. It wasn't until I hit one of them he did the whole "KILL HIM" thing. Stopped playing the game after that. I've been told its great but I'm a...

    Worst way to dump a girlfriend/boyfriend

    One of my girlfriends was very indecisive and didn't know whether she wanted to break up with me or not, so she found my ex girlfriend in town (the one I never got over and my gf knew it) and sought her advise. She persuaded her to dump me. When breaking up with me she didn't see what was wrong...

    The Resistance - Muse

    Excellent review. Personally,I loathe The Resistance. I didn't want to but the pretentious lyrics, pointless additional hooks (hand claps etc) and the schitzophrenic nature of the album left a sour taste in my mouth. Even the Exogenesis tracks don't link properly... They're merely 3 orchestral...

    Have any video game openings drawn you in?

    I really liked the opening to Bioshock... Unfortunately the rest of the game didn't live up to my expectations.
