Jesus, it's the half star. I had a feeling the game wasn't going to be any good, but... this bad? That never crossed my mind. I haven't enjoyed a Ninja Gaiden game since Sigma on the PS3, and that was just an update of the Xbox game, so that oughta tell you how the property's doing in my eyes...

If you look at the back seat, you can see an elephant seated next to an alligator. You can also see him poking his trunk through the window, and vomiting through it. Don't know if that's actually how elephants vomit or not, but it's pretty damn funny to think about.

So, you point out that he missed the 's' in MGS 2, but not that he previously referred to MGS 2 as ME 2, which, of course, isn't even part of the same series. Way to pick your battles. :p OT: When I first heard about Ground Zeroes, I assumed it was going to be like the tanker mission. When I...

Ohhhh, that's who Aaron Paul is. I knew I recognized him from somewhere, but, not really being into Breaking Bad or a lot of TV in general, I couldn't place him. All I knew was that the movie was filled with people I didn't know (Michael Keaton not being part of the posters I saw), and that it...

Hkdsaklfahejfhalesjfhlskghaeghgkldfehlaegdnvleighoaglkndveulfhaf... I've not yet found a way to properly articulate the moan of frustration that escaped my mouth upon reading this. This "game" is inexcusable. 4-24 hours between actions is not the kind of model that should exist in a game like...

Puzzling my way through the Gerudo Fortress to get the ice arrow wasn't really worth it in Ocarina of Time, because it's a bonus item, and there's no real need for it. I never felt like I was missing anything when I didn't get it. Getting a good enough time on Malon's obstacle course to get that...

We used to gather around the campfire and tell stories; speak in hushed, near-whispers of the utter horror that existed beyond the veil. We'd laugh, of course, but the apprehension was palpable. We always worried that speaking its name aloud would draw it to us, summon it, somehow. That was...

I still don't like the idea of them releasing a goddamn playable race within a special edition, but even aside from that, there isn't really anything here that really pushes my buttons. I'm not into maps, and though I'd like to start collecting statues, figurines and things, I currently don't...

No, I think that the places selling the book on Amazon want to get as much money out of the book as they can. According to the Chapters website, I could get one for, like, $11 if I wanted to. If you're really interested, it would probably be worth your time to look around a bit. You'll probably...

For a minute, I thought Jim was using clips of other Escapists to make some kind of point, possibly an ironic one. Around the start of the second minute, though, I figured I was probably wrong. Good to know I'm not the only one who's seen it. :p

Um... am I the only one who's just seeing an 8 minute video of various clips of Escapist shows? There's no Jimquisition here... Edit: Ha! Three tries and ten minutes later! Dunno what that was all about.

No, no, the book exists, but the content (which was supposed to be a true story) is in all likelihood false. I actually think I have a copy kicking around somewhere, which is nice: new copies sell for like $250 on Amazon, and even a used copy will run you $50. I may have to dig it out, now...

Gears of War 2 (First Appearance of Horde Mode): November, 2008 Call of Duty: World at War (First Appearance of Nazi Zombie mode): November, 2008 I think you could make a strong argument for either one of those starting the trend. Given how the influx of zombie-related material seemed to...

Bullshit. Sorry, too close to the hoax for me to believe anything related to Fallout 4. Especially "leaked" documents that break Bethesda's traditions, make no mention of Fallout in any direct way, and came from Kotaku.

Hmmmmmm... toughie. I've never found narrowing down my favourite character to be a particularly easy task. In video games, at least: my favourite character in all of fiction is probably Eddie Dean, but he's never been in a game, so I can't use him. You know, I think... I might have to say...
