Bad Company isn’t so bad after all

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.

Yahtzee hands in late Painkiller review

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.

Watch the Condemned 2 video review

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. […]

Uncharted is too safe, says Yahtzee

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 […]
