I’ve played the demo for Battlefield: Bad Company, and it pretty much captures what GameTrailers’ video review is saying: it’s fun to blow stuff up. There’s also a single player campaign now to keep players busy, which would be particularly useful since the Conquest mode in multiplayer hasn’t shipped yet.
It’s a good thing […]

Here’s something one should pay attention to when watching one of Benjamin “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s video reviews: the guy is not big on praising games that belong to the FPS genre. If Yahtzee doesn’t hate (place shooter title here) as much as Turok, then the fanboy in you would likely deem it as worth the purchase. […]

Video gaming site GameSpot, whose reputation was recently tarnished because of Gerstmanngate, actually had the gall to hand out two perfect scores in a span of weeks. First was for Grand Theft Auto IV, which was released last April 29, and the second was for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which came […]

The house that Shoe built has finally chimed in on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Did they like it? Watch and know.
If you’ve played MGS4 and agree/disagree with the review, I’d love to hear what you think.

When one speaks of Bioware, the first thing that comes to mind are role-playing games. With critically-acclaimed titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Neverwinter Nights tucked under its belt, Bioware has truly established itself as one of the premiere RPG makers.
Mass Effect for the PC is the latest […]

Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw is bored. After reviewing a succession of major releases like Grand Theft Auto IV and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the British-born Australian writer decides to review Painkiller, a game released way back in 2004.

GameTrailers has finally given its two-cents’ worth on Haze, a PS3-exclusive shooter that hasn’t been doing very well in the reviews department. Among the verdicts you’ll see, this video is perhaps one of the more grounded.

As far as I was concerned, my game purchases for the year have already been determined. At least until I heard what British-born writer Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw had to say about Condemned 2: Bloodshot, that nasty first-person brawler/shooter that requires a change of diapers to play.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is no stranger to controversy. Perhaps what would be remembered most about the third-person shooter is the chaos that it caused at GameSpot late last year. Then-executive editor Jeff Gerstmann came out with a very negative review of the game, which ended up being edited and its video review pulled […]

I’ve never played Army of Two as of this writing, but Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s review gave me an idea on how the game plays out. Strangely, Croshaw sees homosexuality in almost every topic.

GameHopper sent me Kane & Lynch: Dead Men to play last weekend. Kane & Lynch? Isn’t that the game that got ex-editorial director Jeff Gerstmann booted from GameSpot? Yes it is, and frankly, I don’t see what the fuss is about.

I was feeling rather lazy to read the numerous Dark Sector reviews. Good thing GameTrailer’s video review is pretty much spot on.
