Spoiler alert! Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw doesn’t like Turok. But instead of editorially ripping that game a new one, this episode of Zero Punctuation simply uses it as an example of everything that’s wrong with console first person shooters. Not the least of which are Aliens-esque character rehashes, the “grizzled, sassy multi-ethnic military types often wearing—or at least located somewhere inside—suits of powered armour” otherwise known as Space Marines. It’s a doozy, mostly because of Yahtzee waxing nostalgic about the “backwoods pig rapists” of Redneck Rampage. Give it a play.

I mean, the first few were gold, but recent ones have been depressingly boring.
