    Why Do Branching Storylines Never Deliver on Their Promises?

    So much this. AP is pretty much the only game I've played that really lived up to the "your choices will matter" promise.

    8 Great Action Films from the 1980s

    Help me, I've woken up in the Bizarro universe.

    Zero Punctuation: Yoshi's Woolly World - Cartoon Velociraptor

    It's a brass moustache, not a unicorn. And it's hidden behind a notice board on the wall, not under the floor. Bury your bed in shame, Yahtzee.

    Zero Punctuation: Alone in the Dark: Illumination - Like Left 4 Dead But...

    What? I didn't have sneaky meetings with videogame insiders in underground parking garages. I don't have "sources" that told me Alone in the Dark was crap. It's crap. It was a crap offshoot of the point and click adventure genre (the world's worst videogame genre) which other companies improved...

    Zero Punctuation: Alone in the Dark: Illumination - Like Left 4 Dead But...

    I really don't know why they keep trying to keep Alone in the Dark going. Yes, I know it was the first survival horror, but it was crap. Other games came along and did it better. Why keep trying to sell games on the back of nostalgia for something that sucked in the first place? Oh, wait...

    Zero Punctuation: E3 2015 - Hype Train Is Back

    I'm sorry, the best players do what now? Damn glad I've never played this game if losing a match could result in me being laminated. Do these unfortunates then get sold as flooring?

    Zero Punctuation: Broken Age: Act 2

    World's worst videogame genre continues to be awful. Excuse me while I pick up my monocle that popped out of my eye socket in surprise.

    Zero Punctuation: Bloodborne - Bloodly Dark Souls

    The great thing about consoles used to be that the games didn't NEED updating/fixing. Now that they're all online, we're effectively paying for the privilege of being beta testers if we buy a game within the first couple of months of release.

    Corporate Responsibility Kills Humor

    Don't think I'd go as far as saying it was an "awesome" Megatron toy. But then, Megatron never seems to get a figure as good as Prime.

    Corporate Responsibility Kills Humor

    A Nerf Maverick? Get with the times, grandpa. Should have been a Hammershot, or maybe a Doublestrike if you need something concealable. Anyhoo, yeah, this whole issue was pretty messed up. I don't think the idea of people being able to sell mods is inherently a bad one, but I do think Valve...

    Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat X - Test Your Might

    Never understood why death was supposed to mean anything in the MK universe when everyone is getting getting killed on a regular basis. Would make more sense to leave the fatalities out of the story mode and just keep them for humiliating your opponent further in a two player match. I'd partly...

    Zero Punctuation: Axiom Verge & Stealth Inc 2

    ... I don't even know if I still have IE on this machine. That's like telling me that it's only compatible with a gramophone.

    Zero Punctuation: Axiom Verge & Stealth Inc 2

    Well, I'm getting the sound but no video. Maybe I'll just wait until this goes up on Youtube.

    Zero Punctuation: Half-Life 2 Update - Gravity Gun > Modern FPS

    Psi-Ops! Thank you, I'd forgotten about that game. Had so much more fun with it than Half-Life 2. I mean seriously, any game with unskippable cutscenes can go fornicate itself with an iron stick.

    The Exploitative Nature of Crafting in Video Games

    That annoyed me so much in Far Cry 3. Why did I need specific animal skins for each holster, wallet or ammo pouch? I can make a two gun holster out of goat skin, but need shark skin for the four gun holster. Why not just make another two gun holster out of goat skin? It makes the process less...
