    Minecraft Getting Preferential Treatment From Microsoft

    One point not mentioned is that Minecraft was incredibly popular and purchased millions of times before release, so it has a different starting point then almost any other XBLA/indie game.

    Zero Punctuation: Fez and I Am Alive

    I was surprised you were so nice to Fez. It was an un-clever copy of many other better games and almost every puzzle can be solved by rotating the world. There are many games I would recommend, especially recent 'indie' ones over Fez.

    Kid Icarus: Uprising and Hurt Nintendo Fans

    Cue the 5000 hate comments. But yeah, I am always surprised how much you have to address this, but then I see comments after every Nintendo game review you do and I am reminded why.

    Mass Effect 3 Drops to $29.99

    You do know that's less than a 50% sales rate. Also it barely sold anything on PC, only about another 100,000 copies. Companies expect to sell at least 75% of their physical copies on launch, that is just pathetic.

    Mass Effect 3 Drops to $29.99

    HAHAHA! That's what happens when you ship 3.5 million and only sell 1.5 million

    Anti-Gay Email Campaign Floods Electronic Arts

    I would have figured gay groups would protest because Shepard suddenly chose to be gay in the third game after being straight for the first two...

    Mass Effect 3 Gets An Ending

    I see no mention of the ridiculous reason for the reapers existence. Or how about how many games/movies have changed their ending (see Fallout 3, Dodgeball etc). Honestly I don't care anymore. Bioware is dead to me, I will never buy another one of their games.

    Escapist Podcast: 036: Mass Effect 3 & Tali Stock Photos

    Fans of the series and characters? I didn't romance her or care too much about her. In fact, I really didn't like the Quarians. But regardless it was incredibly lazy of them, and citing Neverwinter Nights, a game made 10 years ago, as support for your argument is pretty weak.

    Escapist Podcast: 036: Mass Effect 3 & Tali Stock Photos

    So what you're saying is that this company with a 25 million dollar budget couldn't waste 20 minutes coming up with a character design and 1 hour rendering it. Instead they spent maybe 5 minutes (not an exaggeration) lazily editing a stock photo. Heck, look at her hand, they missed a knuckle and...

    Escapist Podcast: 036: Mass Effect 3 & Tali Stock Photos

    I am confused when they asked their fans, Maybe it would have been acceptable if they had crowd sourced her face. And I am confused how you repudiated my point, I'll admit the last line was out of anger, but the rest was name calling to avoid your inability to correct anything I have said...

    Escapist Podcast: 036: Mass Effect 3 & Tali Stock Photos

    I assumed after the romance in the second game they weren't going to show her face, and I was fine with that. I don't see why it matters if I can see her face, I would always prefer to never see it then have a lazy reveal.

    Escapist Podcast: 036: Mass Effect 3 & Tali Stock Photos

    You have got to be kidding me? A reveal that people have been waiting 6 years for is done by 10 minutes in photoshop (seriously, for a person mildly skilled that's all it takes) is okay? Especially because the Quarians are described differently. It's such a pathetic lazy cop-out, for a AAA game...

    BioWare Uses Stock Photo for Tali in Mass Effect 3

    This article is insulting. Why does she have hair? Also weren't the Quarians reptilian. Also why is this so lazily done, I would have preferred that they didn't reveal her face. And to the author, after 2.5 games of waiting this really does diminish the experience. I assume you picked this up...

    Zero Punctuation: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Remember that Yahtzee quote long ago about people who say Halo is better than current gen shooters and are wrong, that's you. Oblivion is almost unplayable compared to Skyrim and Morrowind... that's like a poor man's KOTOR

    Zero Punctuation: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    It's funny because it was originally going to be a MMORPG until it was bought out by Curt Schilling. I did like the baby's first Skyrim comment though, that summed up my thoughts.
