I hated the first Prototype. It was a boring orgy of violence, with a meandering story that left me completely unsatisfied and mentally drained. The last boss, in particular, is definitely a contender for my most despised moment in a video game. You heard me. But you know what? I was looking forward to Prototype 2. If there’s one game that could easily improve... (more...)
I surprised myself by how easy it was to make this list. I love Dark Souls but it does have some atrocious moments that made me rage quit, punch my chair, groan, clench my controller and completely despise the game. I’m actually quite astounded by how much critical praise Dark Souls is receiving, since it doesn’t take much for someone to hate this game... (more...)
Dark Souls is not just a difficult video game. Once you embrace the challenge, the patience and skill required to survive simply become instinctual. This forlorn fantasy has more to offer than tough enemies and engaging combat, for Dark Souls is, without a doubt, one of the most magical and awe inspiring games I have ever played. It is filled with surprises, wonderment... (more...)
What I am about to say will most definitely diminish my reputation as someone who is doing a surprisingly good job at pretending to be a credible Video Game Critic, but… …the Lost Planet series is my favourite video game franchise…ever. And yet, the games suck, I can easily admit to that. But I love the Lost Planet games for a very simple reason. It’s not... (more...)
....the sign is too damn long! Poacher is a FREE!!! Downloadable 2D shooter/puzzle game. You control shotgun-wielding Yorkshire man Derek Badger as he falls into and explores a large and mystical world. But more importantly, it’s created by internet celebrity and video game critic Benjamin “Yahtzee” Croshaw, so that gives me the chance to call him on things and... (more...)
RE: ORC (I’m too lazy to write it all) is a third-person shooter taking place in the Resident Evil universe, obviously. You play one of several operatives tasked with certain missions to…do something…I don’t know/care. A Brief Briefing Should I have gotten up to date with the setting and back-story of Resident Evil? Because I had NO idea why I was doing anything! Characters... (more...)
To say that the ending to Mass Effect 3 was polarizing is an understatement. From what I’ve seen, either you don’t care about the conclusion because you weren’t invested in the series, or you were immensely disappointed because you put so much time into the trilogy only for it to have a seemingly lazy pay-off. The key word there being: seemingly. It took me... (more...)
For those of you keeping track, I’ve stopped using Blip.TV. Why? Because it won’t upload any of my videos. So, I’ve crawled back to YouTube, at least for now. realMyst: Interactive 3D Edition is a remake of Myst released in November 2000 for Windows PCs, and in January 2002 for Mac.

What the hell kind of ending was that?! Oh woops, sorry, I forgot to make an intro. Mass Effect 3 is the final installment in Bioware’s epic science-fiction trilogy. Commader Shepard is tasked with rallying troops from all over the galaxy to stop ‘The Reapers’; a race of ancient sentient machines that ‘harvest’ life every 50,000 years. Since Mass Effect 2...

I wasted several days searching... (more...)
Hello. I am Stretch. I look back at recently passed video games and see if they’re still up to scratch today. My reviews contain no footage or even images from the game itself. Instead I use a variety of costumes and props to convey my opinion. Today’s game is Dante’s Inferno. My only regret is not buying devil horns. AKPC_IDS... (more...)
