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.

I’ve never played the new Turok, but at some point during its development, I thought the FPS showed promise. At least until the bad reviews came out. Tired of bad shooter conventions, Yahtzee decided to make a tutorial on how not to make an FPS using Turok as his model.
All in all, very good points. […]

Are you too lazy to read the numerous analyses for Condemned 2: Bloodshot? Then watch GameTrailer’s video review.
Others may consider Condemned 2 as a good purchase, but I’m not like the others. I’m cheap. Definitely a rental for me. What sold me to the game’s multiplayer is the idea of an all-melee deathmatch. […]

I like watching video reviews made by Ben Croshaw because it teaches me to be unflinchingly cynical when it comes to games. See how the British-born author deconstructs Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
Yes, I do like Uncharted for its shooting. There are no massive guns here, though I do find the action satisfying. But to say that […]

Army of Two has just been released and GameTrailers has already chimed in on what it thinks about the coop shooter. Have a look:

Sure, Yahtzee may be rather late for weighing in on Call of Duty 4, but so what? A Yahtzee review is not only priceless, but timeless as well.

Yes, the British-born Australian may not like a lot of games very much, but there seems to be a lot of hate for Umbrella Chronicles, the latest Resident Evil game from Capcom. Can’t say I blame him, since what is there to rail shooters, other than “pointing to something you want dead, and keep pressing […]

I don’t know what Yahtzee has been up to, but he certainly is a bit late in getting a Crysis review out, considering that the game has been out since November last year. Then again, the guy is based in Australia, so I can’t speak for the timeliness of new titles’ arrivals.
After all, Australia is […]

I spent majority of my time early this week plowing through the PS3 version of Stranglehold and finished it. Of course, I also took the time to play the game’s multiplayer component, so I’m ready for a review.
Is Stranglehold really Max Payne 3 with Chow Yun-Fat? Not really.
You see, Max Payne, particularly its only sequel […]
