To be honest, Zero Punctuation seems far more credible to me than any of the "serious" reviews. IGN and the likes are totally shit. They base their scores entirely on hype, which is why they gave Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 massive ratings, only for everyone to discover how crap they were when they went to take it home.tobyornottoby said:

really? maybe it's just different tastes then. I think he focuses on the wrong stuff, attacking RPG's for having much text & comparing the bottom-up zelda with top-down half-life & such, attacking apples for not being pearsNSiky said:
I can understand the christmas break last week but i cant see an immediate reason for this weeks lack of a review. Maybe christmas was not the reason for last weeks hiatus, maybe Yahtzee has had enough of the zp reviews and just cant be bothered to do it anymore so he has quit and is never coming back NNNOOOOOOO!!!! YAHTZEE IS NEVER COMING BACK.

Super Mario Galaxy review, they forgot to put it on the ZP page.

Call me retarded, but I was mildly disappointed he didn't make a most inappropriate joke about a certain red dot which briefly banned the game because of the hype over a lesbian sex scene 
That, my friends, is the ultimate example of hype distorting a game.

I agree with him on the subject of CtrlAltDel... the exception to the rule is, oddly enough, the comic concerning Mass Effect:

It's Witting, Charmy and, most importantly, to the point. And I'm British, I'm aware of the typing error, I just thought it was more 'FUN' this way.

There was quite some dialogue in the John DeFoe Games, especially 'Trilby's Notes' but it certainly was not too much and the story was quite good. I enjoyed the John DeFoe quadrilogy a loteggdog14 said:

I don't know what game Kevin McCullough was playing that lets you "...engage" and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game "persons" hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of."
But I don't think it was mass effect.

that was genius. I fucking love this game, have gone through it 4 times, but everything he said makes loads of sense.
Still my game of the year, still don't like JRPGS, still dislike Oblivion, and yet this review had me laughing my ass off. I'd put it off after hearing how harsh it was, should have read it sooner.
Titty Shepard. Brilliant.

Just first off I'll say your reviews are great. Been obsessed since I saw your GDC 08' review on G4 and I hope they post more there. I'd also like to say that I'm one of those people who's not easily offended so while you didn't like Mass Effect, I respect your opinion of it. I only wish that I had the comedic wit to express my appreciation of games like you do. So keep up the brutal honesty and I'll be sitting at my computer laughing.
