Game reviews that are like :words: :words: :words: are the best. When cooking I love putting on a small part of a giant review that analyzes every little detail of some game.

Mathewmatosis is a goodun. Here he talks about Majora's mask for 40 minutes, comparing and contrasting it to the first game.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais is a huge nerd. Here is a smart 2 and a half hours on the entire Mass Effect series.

Both of these guys are very well-spoken and like video games. They are very objective in their analysis and there is lots of goods and bads to each game. I would love to find more reviewers like this so please let me know if you've got any, Imp Zone.

I remember in the early 2000's I'd really look forward to reading IGN's 8-10 page review of the latest AAA game I was hyped for.

Tim Rogers wrote an 18,000 word review of Final Fantasy XIII and his conclusion was that the game was O.K., 2 out of 4.

The title of this thread contains the words "master", which is short for "master bate", and "theses", which sounds like "feces" -- another word for poop.

some guy who translated MGS2 did an analysis that is actually like a master's thesis, in that it is long and text and references dead romans.

Kotaku article on video games or reminiscence of a man's first gay experience? You decide:

quote:

"I know what you want!" she said. She fished his paycheck out of the lock box.

Jim looked troubled as she cashed his check.

"Hey—hey," Jim said, under his breath. I feel shame to admit this: I ignored him.

Then he "Psst"ed.

I widened my eyes at him.

"You going on break soon?"

"Yeah, maybe soon," I said. We were whispering at the end of the counter.

"There's something I gotta talk to you about."

"Oh. Oh. Okay."

I want to believe that Kotaku has become a self aware parody of itself but I know deep down that that's not the case.
