I haven't actually played any games like this (survival horror or whatever you want to call it) but I might try one. Eventually. Maybe. Probably not, okay, I'm cheap.

Freaking hysterical. Actually made me want to buy it, too, as soon as it's no longer obscenely expensive.

I actually felt like that when i was sharing the 'War Stories' with my friends. The reviews were all correct that you and friends would be talking about your different experiences in the game and this was just in a limited demo.

Im not a fan of survival horror games but really enjoyed what ive played of L4D so far.

Here's the latest one.

Sonic Unleashed

Dark Drakan · 12-18-2008

Saw it yesterday and had a chat with Scott about it but i didnt want to steal the spotlight a second time so left it unposted.

That one made me laugh quite a lot.

for posting.

Walker · 12-18-2008

Was funny as hell, partially because of how much the guy sounded like me when he was critcizing "werehog."

I also saw it yesterday (I was sitting around at home all day studying badly) and was too lazy to post it, a much less noble motive than Drakan's altruistic spotlight-sharing.

It's just sad. Turning Sonic in into a were'hog'... or manhog. Now doesn't that just cry '"We're out of ideas!" or what?

Pathetic.

More like "hey, all those vampire and werewolf movies have been raking in the cash; I bet we can jump on that bandwagon if we make Sonic one of them. Hey! Maybe we can make Knuckles a vampire, too!"

Knuckles Bloodsucker coming January December '09.

Oh, thank god. For a minute I was afraid they had put out an actual review on New Year's eve, which would've kinda scared me for some reason.

Who didn't see this one coming?

This week Zero Punctuation reviews Ubisoft's latest addition to the Prince of Persia series.

I'm a little late with it all, but I just watched the Sonic Unleashed review. I gotta say... wow. I never sensed so much hate coming from one person. The hate was hilarious of course, almost to the point of shizing meself.

Dark Drakan · 01-01-2009

Thanks for the update Markie

. Still waiting for my copy of Prince Of Persia to arrive in the mail as i got it on sale.

Walker · 01-01-2009

I was astounded, simply ASTOUNDED that he reviewed this, really, I was.

Okay, no I wasn't. OOooh, necromancy.

AND a Dog reference, thankyewveramuch.

Editing the audio to remove pauses, not very hard.
