    Cyberpunk 2077 to be "Far, Far Bigger" Than The Witcher 3

    Please just let me have a super duper intricate character creator and some assets that reflect the classic art style of Cyberpunk 2020. Or even like the woman in the concept art they showed for the 2077 promo. I want that big 80s hair in-game. <3

    Zero Punctuation: Mad Max - The Sandiest Sand Box

    I can more easily get behind sandbox games than shooters but they've somehow managed to cock those up too anymore. Also, let us never speak of the Mad Max NES game again, it's a part of that 99% of movie tie-in games on the NES that are absolute rubbish. The remaining 1% is the 1989 Batman movie...

    No Right Answer: Videogame That Should be an MMO

    I find the MMO market just hard to look at anymore. I'd rather see games with the size and scope of an MMO simply be 4-to-6 multiplayer local or online. I'll use Skyrim as an example. Just like that game, except you are able to host and save your progress and three other friends can connect...

    ColecoVision Games May Get a New Lease on Life via Kickstarter

    Ah, ColecoVision... my very first console. It's a great thing they want to do in keeping our history alive and introducing it to a new generation, but I'd rather give the money to an effort that would aim to recreate the home experience with console-on-a-chip "Flashback" style machines like...

    Terminators: The Video Game is Coming to Save the Future

    In my opinion, video game perfection for this franchise already exists: "The Terminator" for Sega CD and "RoboCop Vs. Terminator" for Sega Genesis. Just... such fantastic action platformers... and the Sega CD game has an AWESOME soundtrack. I remember finding my copy of it on clearance at a...

    Rewrite something's ending to make it freaking DARK.

    2K: XCOM's Tactical Shooter Shall Evolve

    As long as they continue with the reborn Turn-Based Strategy X-COM in parallel, I don't give a flying fuck what they do with this. And that was probably their goal. Appease the original fans first after all that rage and cries of BETRAYAL... then do the shooter anyway. I tell ya what, if this...

    Crytek Boss Says Visuals Are "60% of the Game"

    There's difference between graphics and aesthetics. Crysis goes for a realistic aesthetic, therefore, it demands high-end graphical capabilities. Minecraft is stylistic retro in 3D, therefore it demands less robust hardware to get it's visual message across. It just depends what you're setting...

    Zero Punctuation: Dishonored

    As an American, I always enjoy Yahtzee's jabs at our construed English. It was Noah Webster that removed the "u" from words like dishonoured when he wrote the first American Dictionary... it's his fault, blame it on him. ;)

    Nintendo Suffers 29.1 Billion Yen Operating Loss

    Right, right. I had trouble figuring out why this is news to anyone. And my statement was a bit generalized. The Wii U will sell at a loss, like all consoles when they're brand-spankin'-new. Losses will be eased with software sales and the console itself won't start to turn a profit until much...

    Nintendo Suffers 29.1 Billion Yen Operating Loss

    They're more than likely banking on a strong holiday season with the Wii U to recoup the losses.

    Zero Punctuation: FIFA 13

    I saw the title "FIFA 13" and thought, "No... this can't be all it is." Glad I was right. LOL! Great review, start to finish. "A tassle on a stripper's tit" will always echo in my head from now on whenever I channel surf and find a soccer match on TV.

    Trailers: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Hearthfire Trailer

    Didn't buy Dawnguard, not buying this. Hell, I'm playing on PC, I definitely don't need this. I have more free custom mods made by the community installed that are higher in quality than both of these DLC packages combined. AND my game looks and runs better than the console versions. But they...

    Zero Punctuation: Wreckateer and Deadlight

    Great video, Yahtzee. Worthy of several "Gfaw's."

    Notch: Windows 8 Could Be "Very Very Bad" for Indies

    Guess I'm sticking with Windows 7 unless they pull an even bigger dick move by dropping support for it almost immediately after 8 comes out. In which case, I'll force myself to learn how to operate Linux... or go hook up my Commodore 64 and pretend this shit didn't happen.
