Yahtzee Damages Games, With Friends, In Front of a Camera
7:40AM Brian Crecente | I have been an on-again and off-again fan of Yahtzee’s cutting comedic game reviews since they first hit scene. More »Zero Punctuation Reviews E3 ’08’s Trailers
11:00AM Michael McWhertor | When Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw isn’t reviewing video games like Age of Conan or Alone in the Dark, he’s meeting his contractual obligations with The Escapist, weighing in on things like trailers shown at E3. In four minutes and forty seconds, Yahtzee picks apart non-playable previews for games like Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy XIII, Resident Evil 5 and Fallout 3 with sexy results. Actually, that should’ve been hilarious results. We were still thinking about the pus covered roulette wheel and anal shielding imagery from this episode. Two of our choicest fetishes!

EA Brings Back Family Game Night
12:00AM Mike Fahey | Back when I was growing up, just about every family I knew had a closet full of tattered board games, ready at a moment’s notice should said family come dangerously close to just quietly sitting and enjoying each other’s company. Now EA introduces the 21st century version of said dusty closet, Hasbro Family Game Night for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2. The title contains a nice selection of six big-name board game favourites – Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry!, and the all-new Sorry! Sliders, each with its own twist for fresh gameplay. Connect Four gets power chips, Bobble gets portal cubes, etc. As a special added bonus, each game is hosted by Mr. Potato Head. Apparently we needed a host, and he was available. If you ever wanted to get you parents into gaming, Hasbro Family Game Night will probably be your best chance when it comes out this Fall.Zero Punctuation Takes On You
11:00AM Mike Fahey | Apparently Yahtzee’s review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl received so much negative response that he decided to dedicate this week’s Zero Punctuation to you, his viewing public. More specifically, the members of his viewing public that saw fit to bombard him with letters about how wrong he was about his review. This sort of thing always amuses the hell out of me as you cannot tell someone that their opinion is wrong. You can try to change their opinion, but an opinion cannot technically be incorrect. You can disagree til the cows come home, but then why the hell are you living with cows? Exactly. I especially like the letter that asks how he can call them game reviews without a numerical score. How indeed. More »Zero Punctuation Reviews Condemned 2 (And Indigo Prophecy)
5:30AM Mark Wilson | This week, Yahtzee officially reviews Condemned 2. And that’s great. But then, in the heat of passion, he breaks into a mini-review of Indigo Prophecy. Plus, if you really think about it, there’s actually a good amount of rhetoric on the original Condemned, too. So you are actually getting like 2 to 2 1/2 Zero Punctuations this week. And it’s all coming at you for a low, low price of just $US 100 an episode. Oh, didn’t you know? Then you’re fucked, man. But at least you get some steak knives (for only $US 8.95 S/H).
