Jamzy is known for two things: Being Japan's number one Xbox 360 fanboy and his haircut. In this Justify, Jamzy doesn't defend his love of Microsoft's game console, but this zany, zany fanboy 'do.

I really liked the idea behind Patapon, but for some reason I lost interest quickly after the final game finally landed in my Playstation Portable. I suspect it was because it was just too hard for me to maintain concentration for the duration of the battles. I'm skittish like that. This time around the developers have worked to make that element of the game a bit easier. They've also added multiplayer functionality. But will it be enough? They seem to think so.

In this very brief episode of Justify Your Game Todd Howard attempts to justify Fallout 3. Can Todd manage to pull that off in 15 seconds?

So I am taking the reins from Mark for the day and presenting you guys with the Justify Your Game segment. In today's segment, Eric Walter from Nintendo justifies Mario Kart Wii. Normally the speaker only has 15 seconds to justify their game, but this guy was good. He nailed it in 12 seconds.

Can the makers of TNA Impact! justify their game? Only one way to find out...

After a long Kotaku interview session, Team Ninja's commander and chief Tomonobu Itagaki justified his upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword for DS. And somewhere along the line, if you study the video very closely, we make complete arseholes of ourselves. It's a first, we know.

I am a huge fan of Mark Wilson's Justify videos, and I'm not just saying that because he makes them for Kotaku. They are genuinely funny and still manage to impart some information. This time around Wilson managed to churn out quite an eclectic mix of Justify Your whatevers including Mark Rein justifying Unreal Engine 3... right after it crashes, Tetsuya Mizuguchi having a nervous break down as he tries to justify his Rez and a Kotaku reader justifying his cosplay outfit.

Our Justify Your Game segment is supposed to only last 15 seconds. But some of our participants are... higher maintenance. So hit the play button and prepare for a truly epic edition of JYG.

Up until this moment, Metal Gear fans and news outlets alike have been eagerly anticipating Kotaku's Justify segment on MGS4. Because while the game looks to be... OK... a buzzer would (for absolute certain) flush three years of effort down the toilet (and render PS3s everywhere completely useless, shut down most electronic devices within range and boil the seas).

...it's not our fault.

We gave Takashi Sensui (Microsoft's General Manager of Xbox) a chance to justify his holiday lineup. And unlike certain tall, bald and highly clonable Sony executives who outright refused, Sensui jumped at the chance to support his company.

During our shoot, either our autofocus went wonky or the booze really started kicking in. Sorry about that, but at least our camera didn't puke on Sensui's shoes.
