There has been a good game with weapon degradation--its called System Shock 2, Yahtzee 
and I named it before the second was up, too!
Agreed with the rest of the review though.

Ya know I've never played Silent Hill. Any of them. Which I'm told makes my life incomplete in the way not having sex makes a man incomplete. I do hope to play them one day...
Oh, but I saw the movie *runs before anyone beats him to death with whatever they pull out of their stash*

*runs before anyone beats him to death with whatever they pull out of their stash*This was one of the best again Yahtzee! Your wit never fails to make me chuckle.
I love how you slipped that picture of yourself in there as well.
Also, I finally figured out who you remind me of! You're like a faster-talking version of Charlie Brooker! For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7mwTK564o

SS2 is good dispite the degredation not because of it ;-)Dark Shikari said:There has been a good game with weapon degradation--its called System Shock 2, Yahtzee
It took his a week to get around to the URMRGAY joke, but even Yahtzee couldn't get away from it.
Without the degradation though, it would have been piss-easy.Xen Monkey said:SS2 is good dispite the degredation not because of it ;-)Dark Shikari said:There has been a good game with weapon degradation--its called System Shock 2, Yahtzee
Being forced to take on a maintenance robot with nothing but a wrench, pistol, and 10 hitpoints left is what made the game *fun*.
Another Well Review Done, Yahtzee. Silent Hill 2 is also my favorite one, and I agree yet that the Silent Hill Series is getting bad, but I just simply think that it's dying but not dead, the judge will be turn on Silent Hill 5, if it's good, it lives, if it doesn't, throw it into a pile of shit.
He asked to name one game where weapon degradation was a good idea, not one game that was good and happened to have weapon degradation in it. Both System Shock 2 and Jagged Alliance 2 have weapon degradation and are good games, but both would be better off without it...Dark Shikari said:There has been a good game with weapon degradation--its called System Shock 2, Yahtzee

Never even heard of silent hill...
something tells me that wasn't the best way to open my post

i think the weapon degredation in condemed was pretty good, couldn't agree more with the stuff about silent hill 2 being by far the best, that game is ACE!
Brilliant as always - though it may not be the best of the Silent Hill games, its still nice to be able to bring Silent Hill with you wherever you go.
What about Dead Rising? If there weren't degradation, then A) the game would be too frickin easy with the mini chainsaws and katanas, and B)you wouldn't have been given any real reason to try out new weapons as you came across them, or even use them out of pure necessity (being caught in a corner by a crowd of zombies and seeing a sledge hammer).
The end of your review reminded me somewhat of Sub-Zero's main fatality in almost every Mortal Kombat.
