    Zero Punctuation: Too Human

    To everyone whining about the commercials, why don't you instead whine to The Escapist asking them to allow you 'special access' for a fee. Then you could have your commercial free content, and they could pay their bills. For the rest of us who didn't eat the pretty paint chips: The...

    Zero Punctuation: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

    I've been waiting to see if Yahtzee could maintain the chewy goodness that are his reviews. So often you'll find someone who is talented, funny...and a flash in the pan. The writing becomes old and stale as jokes are recycled, and it falls into the pattern of insipid sameness. What's the...

    Worst game ever?

    The worst game I've ever actually purchased is Boogie for Wii. And the semi-joke ad I put up on another site I admin. trying to dump it. It was written tongue in cheek, but I'd have been happy to get anything in trade. Of course no one was stupid enough to want it, so I keep it around as a...

    Zero Punctuation: Zelda Phantom Hourglass

    Flaaaaak towers. Only annoying factor is the use of "fag" every episode lately it seems. Perhaps it's not quite the slur in merry old england that it is here in the states. Or perhaps he's been listening to too many console 'tards via voice chat. Or he's playing WoW and is sitting in the...

    Battlestar Galactica Demo Released

    Unfortunately the e-mail being sent out about this (by the BSG game site) is triggering phish filters, because the origin name doesn't match the stated name, and it redirects to apparently yet a third location. It *is* legit...but my gmail spazzed out on it.

    Looking for a solid detective game recommendation.

    The Nancy Drew mysteries for the PC are actually a lot of fun, if you can stand the perky Nancy. The storyline is decent, it requires actual thought, overall I'd give it a pretty high rating.

    Realism or Fantasy in gaming

    Google "uncanny valley", I think you'll find the subject very very interesting.

    NBA Star Caught Cheating at Halo 3

    "You can win things off of social" That's the difference it makes and why even he admits it shouldn't be allowed. But he has an attitude common to cheaters, at least in my experience...that other people will be doing it/what harm ultimately/the game should prevent it therefore it's their...

    Scrabble Attacked for Lesbian Slang

    Hmm, I was hoping it was a typo and it was actually 'Lesbos' (as in Isle of) but no. I think the poster who questioned whether or not "nigga" should be included (or the reaction if it was) is pretty apropos. Is 'felching' a word in the Official Scrabble Dictionary? I mean, if we're shooting...

    Gears of War: I Wouldn't Buy It

    Here's a thought on why so many reviewers don't. In single player your gaming experience is determined by the game, and you as the player. That's it. And an experienced player can eyeball the game and make determinations about roughly how difficult it's going to be for less experienced gamers...

    EA Acquires Bioware and Pandemic

    Jade Empire is a fantastic game just as good as (if not better than) KOTOR. Unless one only likes KOTOR because they're a Star Wars fanatic...you're not going to love KOTOR and dislike Jade Empire. They even ported it (finally) to the PC. Neverwinter Nights was a long anticipated game, and...

    True Story: Tales from my Laughlin Trip

    So I'm sitting at the blackjack table, and it goes somewhat poorly for everyone but me. So everyone but me gathers what money they have left and flees for greener pastures. A woman immediately sits down next to me, she's mid to late thirties, drunk and more foul mouthed than me. Yes, that's...
