    Zero Punctuation: The Sims 3

    Basically it's a more advanced form of playing with dolls and playing house.

    197: An Elite Presence

    Thanks for the article. Even as a guy born as "late" as '83 I've played all the Elite games, and no other games have truly encompassed everything I want in a game as much as those. I have to admit, my real relationship with British studios is Psygnosis, though. I had no idea, until years and...

    140: Where Things are Hollow

    Same, even though it's a slightly disturbing one if taken out of context. Great article, by the way, this is the kind of quality writing and journalism I've grown so terribly fond of. Thank you.

    Zero Punctuation: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

    I've heard others say the same about the game, just in other words, so I'll keep away from it. Thank you for both a good review, and minutes of laughing.

    Zero Punctuation: Sim City Societies

    Brilliant! I laughed out loud during most of this, and then at the end I completely cracked up. Thanks mate!

    DICE 2008: Epic on the Hot Seat

    I definately didn't expect such a "bang on" finishing statement in an article like the one from Mallat there. "Emotions" indeed. Hell, if I don't feel anything about a game, be it for the characters or the story, it can be as costly as it likes and I won't bother playing it.

    136: My Own Private Outer Space

    That sounds very much like what I ended up with. Armstrong on the moon back in the days doesn't sound half as exciting as Darth Vader spearheading the assault on the rebel forces (bastards they are, hindering an empire!). I always, somehow, surmised it to be that heading out to space in a...

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty 4

    The continuous respawn turned this game from "Oooh, nice" to "FPS WoW - lots of grinding" >:|

    Zero Punctuation: Crysis

    Yahtzee: Too rushed inbetween breaths at points, with the clipping which kind of messed up the rhytm of it, and you sounded like you were too late for an appointment with the dentist, or possibly running away from him. Pick the one that fits. As for Crysis itself I thought it was beautiful...

    Where Have All My Heroes Gone?

    I've always been a major fan of Egosoft myself. Quietly they churn out games you can play for hours and hours, with a specific target, daring to be different. While they've got a spotty record for buggy games, that's never stopped me from loving their products. Then again, if I'm to put...

    Zero Punctuation: Guitar Hero III

    Who the hell is Tom Morelles (balls?), and what's it doing next to Slash? I'm pretty sure most people would rather believe Celine Dion was a guitarist worthy of the front cover of GHIII than some poor sod from nowhere. Amazing review - I laughed 'til my tummy hurt, repeatedly.

    127: What?s Actually Good (In Comics)

    I hope I'm not a unique snowflake in wanting to see the two "Joe's" work together on something; J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Madureira. My two absolute favourite at story and art. And yes, most definitely great to see a mention about comics. Dissing manga's bad though - it's like saying...

    Mass Effect Nudity Uncovered

    You get the feeling there's a point-system present there. Word: ***** - 1 point(s) Word: Asshole - 1 point(s) Violence: Alot - 2 point(s) Nudity: Curve of a breast - 5 point(s) Nudity: Nipple - 20 point(s) Can't say I ever understood how they go about it. Not that age-rating is truly...

    Zero Punctuation: Tomb Raider Anniversary

    I had a small stint at it, and I was thinking pretty much what you said, although there's something magical to a british accent ranting it off at a high tempo that makes me border on giggling. Uncontrollably at that. I didn't enjoy the game at all. It felt like a simple redo of previous...

    111: And Baby Makes Wii

    That was such a sweet read, and a bit of a wakeup kick. Thanks alot!
