Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill 2
0
And this is how Yahtzee reviews a game he actually likes :)) As for the game… i have yet to decide if it’s effects on me are maybe too dangerously strong… i mean it’s so scarring that I wonder if one should recomend it… but then again that’s the reason one would: strong impact. My question though is this: is it just for men, or are women as troubled by it? And no, for those of you that don’t know the game i don’t mean because it’s got shooting which men enjoy, it’s because, (i’m happy to say ) like abook or movie, it deals with human issues, but it’s telling some man-type guilt situations so I’m wondering about that.
PS: the thing that sticks with me from this review is the phase: “there’s only you, james and the town, and after a while you start to wonder which one of them is his biggest enemy” , which coupled with that silly graphic of 3 guins pointing into his mouth really stuck into my brain, because what is more terryfing than the thought that the hell he’s in is of entirely his own creation?

Great article (or at least the funny pictures & titles)… brilliant :))

Had to post this one if only for the brilliant rhymes :)) Some great points too, like future historian and I particularly agree with the pointlessness (of games in general, haven’t played this one) of looting things to upgrade things only for mandatory battles or stuff… now if the worlds were truly open, then yes, i would get it… i’d know there’s a point to my extra time & effort… but if everything’s linear… then why not just push me lightly on a tunnel of fun?

I think it’s finally clear that things have settled down for good and (except of course for the really hardcore fanboys) everybody can rest at peace that 360 & ps3 are pretty even visual-wise. yeayy!! it’s up to the content/what we like to call "artwork" to make the games not the hardware. Yipeeee!!
