    Jimquisition: Nintendo of America

    I'd like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that Operation Rainfall isn't done yet, and they're about to start their letter writing campaign in a matter of days. If Europe and Australia are getting these games, NOA is going to feel the pressure. If you want these games, I highly suggest...

    Jimquisition: Super E3 Power Outage Episode

    I hate it when stuff like that happens. Ah well, here's hoping we can get in a full episode next week.

    Anthony Saves The World: Episode 10: Debbie Pt. 2

    Great work on the season finale guys! And if there does end up being a second season, you can bet I'll be there to see it. If not, I look forward to your future endeavors and hope to see you both again on The Escapist. It was fun.

    Zero Punctuation: Kirby's Epic Yarn

    I'm hesitant to say "missed the point", but I feel that the purpose of getting the gems wasn't just to buy stuff for the apartments, but also to get as high a score as possible on each level. Getting the satisfaction of collecting a gold medal, and beating your own score. It's about mastery, not...

    Extra Punctuation: BAFTAs Are Bollocks

    I feel like I'm the only one who agrees with you on the whole Super Mario Galaxy 2 expansion pack/sequel thing. I still think the game is amazing, and I'm more than glad to have played it. But I seem to be the only one I know who believes that. But regardless, Super Mario Galaxy 2 being...

    Extra Punctuation: Let's Talk About Let's Play

    I don't really have a whole lot to contribute to the topic, but I figured I might as well make the obligatory reference to The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing. [http://lparchive.org/Animal-Crossing/] That's all.

    Anthony Saves The World: Episode 1.3: This Future

    Review: Vanquish

    Now, here's the thing. I know that the game has it's flaws; the storyline's silly and to be honest, many of the bosses didn't need a one hit kill attack. But I don't really see the huge deal with the overheating thing. When you go automatically go into bullet-time because things are too hot...

    Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

    I actually legitimately think that Sega and Sonic Team/Dimps did a pretty good job of making the game a true sequel. The reworked physics and homing attack did well at differentiating Sonic 4 from the other 2D games. Episode 1 may have its fair share of issues, but I thought it was still a...

    Your Favorite Game Sucks

    I think it really depends on how in-depth that opinion will be, though. If someone is going to go into great detail onto why a specific part of a game isn't good and act like your word is law whilst not having played it isn't the best defense. A good example is probably Metroid: Other M. Is...

    Who is your favorite game reviewer(s)?

    Still a fan of Yahtzee and the AVGN. Other than him the only other person I can think of whom I read his reviews on a regular basis is probably Jim Sterling from Destructoid.

    Zero Punctuation: Metroid Other M

    In all honesty, considering how polarizing the game has been, I'm not surprised. I personally wasn't bothered by the control issues Yahtzee brought up, but the game was still more linear than I'd like, and the storyline's got plenty of issues, regardless of how you look at it. But I think...

    There's only one word to describe this: lolwut.
