That's the sort of thing that's so stupidly, hilariously Capcom-esque that it would work out of sheer insanity. Considering this is Dead Rising we're talking about, now I want to see it.

Was that a sneaky Cannon Fodder reference in the credits? Cheeky.

Metroid is approaching that weird place where the series' actual official games end up ranging from bad to mediocre, but the additional material it inspires (whether official or fan-made) ends up as decent at the very least. Sonic's been doing this too. I will admit to having a delayed...

Why in the nine hells did something like Shadow of the Beast get a remake? I played the original and it really didn't have that much going for it, if we're honest. Surely there were other Amiga games that could've gotten a bit more love...granted, I'm an odd duck and was hoping some of the old...

A classic case of overhyped overreach. If they'd done the smart thing and focused on the core game and maybe one or two major ports, they'd have had the time to knock out a game that was at least competent in presentation. By spreading their resources over so many ports (including a few consoles...

I'm just curious as to what archetype demographic Bastion is supposed to appeal to. Transformers fans? And before anyone gets cheeky, no, I don't believe 'noobs' counts as an archetype demographic.

That last joke got a good chuckle out of me. Also glad to see that this... is it a reboot? Remake? Whatever of Doom works out generally all right. For me, being able to shotgun a demon's head into powerup confetti is usually a good sign these days.

I'm reminded a bit of Steel Battalion, and also of what else happened to that franchise when it thought 'gee, this seems like a perfectly acceptable control scheme.' Not being able to remap or adjust controls is pretty close to being a cardinal sin as far as game design goes. Not all of us...

Shadow Warrior isn't bad, but it's definitely rough around the edges. I think a little polish and a lot of note-taking might help any sequels or future attempts at projects like this. On a tangent, I found the Viscera Cleanup Detail expansion based on Shadow Warrior rather amusing, if only...

Am I the only one who sees Yahtzee in the end credits as suddenly extremely startled as opposed to rubbing his eyes? As for the game itself, I got nothin', I admittedly never even heard of it before now.

Having played a few goes through, I'm inclined to agree. The constant ticking clock element is a bit fussy and annoying, and there's an enormous lost opportunity to seed a level with oodles of civilians and aliens, strategically working our way to a target by evasion or removal of inconvenient...

I think that opener actually beat FIFA 13 for brevity. That said, this one got more than a few good laughs out of me, so hey, won't hear me complaining.

I'm surprised he didn't make mention of the sticky rockets, which are officially my new favorite thing, if only because you can stick those things on people without them noticing and proceed to launch them into the ocean.

I think this might just be the kindest he's ever been to a core Metal Gear game. That said, ballooning things into orbit will never stop being funny and I've had a great time using the cardboard box for a combination of confusing the more credulous guards and sledding away like the world is...

I played a few of the old King's Quest games, possibly out of sadomasochism--on the one hand, I wasn't going to let them beat me even if I burned a few brain cells doing it, and on the other, seeing the numerous stupid, arbitrary ways a game could kill you was weirdly compelling. Do love that...
