It’s fairly obvious by the above image that some of us at Kezins are not big fans of the insane ramblings of Zero Punctuation. Despite our lack of positive feelings for the videos, they seem to continue their popularity. The fact that nearly every episode of Zero Punctuation makes it to the front page of Digg.com certainly says that there’s a lot of people who continue to support the series. Hopefully no one takes this too seriously. We’re just poking fun at Yahtzee who seems to poke fun at all games. If you’ve never seen one of the crazy videos we’re talking about, here’s an example:

“I’m saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they’ve got to take responsibility,” Mitch Winehouse, the singer’s father, said to BBC Radio 1 recently.

The eccentric rocker has been in the hospital for the past week or so for showing “‘traces’ of the lung disease emphysema,” according to BBC News, and shows that Ms. Winehouse takes her rockin’ serious. She smokes cigarettes, puffs the magic dragon, and quite possibly the richest crack head on the scene.

What does it do for your impression of the celebrity? Lends her some street cred or just makes her a natural shoe-in for the next Celebrity Rehab?

I currently have 85 games on the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA). I probably paid for half of them, so it’s already become a hefty investment. After playing Ikaruga for several days, I can state with confidence that it’s now officially my favorite game on the arcade. The current meta score for the game is 8.7/10. All I can say is that some of the reviewers handing out lower scores were either smoking crack or needed to smoke some. I don’t like giving games 1-10 scores, but if I were inclined to do so, Ikaruga would get a 10/10 from me any day of the week.

Ikaruga (XBLA)

Released on April 9, 2008

Ikaruga always had a visual appeal to it, regardless of what platform it was released on. I have fond memories of playing the game on the Dreamcast and in the arcades. I was afraid that somehow the title would be dumbed down for the XBLA, but fortunately it’s just as challenging as ever. If your thing is casual gaming, you’ll certainly want to pass on this one. If you are looking for a challenging game like the arcade shooters of old, I’m not sure why you haven’t already downloaded it.

The exciting addition to the old game is online co-op mode. This might just be enough to bring back the nostalgia of the old school arcade days for some gamers like myself. If you haven’t already purchased the game, I suggest checking out the demo as soon as possible. Many sites reviewed the game and I’m not sure what they were thinking to be honest. The closest review to the truth I could find was on Destructoid. There’s no such thing as a flawless game, but this is about as close as it gets on the XBLA.
