All Hail Zero Punctuation

We realize we're a little late to the party since apparently he has been plying his twisted trade since August, but there's something irreverently fantastic about Brit/Aussie Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's ascerbic game reviews in his Zero Punctuation series.

At a time when Gerstmangate is getting more than its deserved 15 minutes of fame (not to take anything away from Jeff, whose reviews we read for years), a series that relishes in skewering today's hottest properties (from Mass Effect to Guitar Hero, and Assassin's Creed to Halo 3) with a loving attention to creative animated video detail that can only come from deep hidden appreciation for the art of gaming is just what we needed.

We strongly suggest you also visit Yahtzee's web site and maybe even given his own latest game, Trilby The Art of Theft, a whirl.
