Review: Enter the Gungeon

http://www.thejimquisition.com/enter-the-gungeon-review/

Bullet heaven, my friends. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Mortal Kombat

It might be the best videogame movie ever made. It might also have a lot of unfortunate implications. It's Mortal Kombat!

Why must we mourn Art? Where did Christopher Lambert get his wig? Should Goro have gone out like that? This is a movie with a lot of questions.

Let's enjoy!

Review: Lords of the Fallen: Complete Edition

http://www.thejimquisition.com/lords-of-the-fallen-complete-edition-review/

Another one of my "remastered" reviews. 

It's summit to do, right? 

The Jimquisition: Prepare To Die

Git gud or go home! That's what a super hardcore Dark Souls fan will tell you. But is that fair?

Dark Souls III, like all Dark Souls games, is being marketed on its difficulty, and the audience swallows that idea up. However, it's reductive and misguided as far as I'm concerned.

And ain't no amount of hot wing contests will change that.

Miitomo has been reviewed for your filthy delight.

Podquisition Episode 73: Jizzing Brown Paste On The Moon

This week's Podquisition is the most scientific yet, as we get the FACTS about ejaculating on the Moon. It's pretty upsetting!

We've all played Dark Souls III now, so expect chat about that, alongside some impressions of Enter The Gungeon, and thoughts on the failed Rock Band 4 PC crowdfund.

Also, Boglinwatch 2016 continues...

The Jimquisition: PlayStation 4K

There's talk of a new Xbox and PlayStation on the horizon, but not brand new consoles - not quite, anyway.

Incremental upgrades are the talk of the town, as consoles look set to take another leaf from PC gaming's book.

Is the idea of an Xbox 1.5 or a PlayStation 4K a good one? Kinda... but not the way this industry will likely do 'em.

Quaff that Estus. Now. NOW!

Review: Resident Evil 6

http://www.thejimquisition.com/resident-evil-6-review/

Couldn't pass up the opportunity to "remaster" this review.

Review: Quantum Break

http://www.thejimquisition.com/quantum-break-review/

Yeah, the embargo was wrong earlier. Now it's up, at the correct time!

Nintendo's Corporate Culture

What Nintendo's firing of an outspoken employee says about its creepy need to control people. 

Podquisition Episode 72: The VR Daughter Faceplant Special

Virtual Reality is finally here, but we’re too busy laughing at a kid falling over to notice. It’s really funny.

Elsewhere, we talk about butt nontroversies, Fallout 4 DLC, and pledge to bore you with Dark Souls talk forever.

Also, Boglinwatch 2016 has a terrible development.

Thank you so much for the support this month!

The Spin-off Doctors: Pokemon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back

What does Pokemon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back have to say about Adolf Hitler? This is a question your resident Movie Boys have the answer to!

Pokemon tears can heal the dead, Minnesota is the link between realities, and Team Rocket just can't deliver the goods.

This movie is out of its damn mind.

The Jimquisition: Dark Souls III's Release Date System

Dark Souls III is out now in Japan, but the rest of the world has to wait until April 12... unless they get the full English version from Japan's Xbox Live store.

It's a silly situation, and Dark Souls is not a series that benefits from staggered releases at all. Let's look at this whole bollocky shitstorm.

That Dragon, Let's Plays

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/03/that-dragon-lets-plays/

An editorial concerning the recent spat between That Dragon, Cancer's devs and Let's Players. 

Review: Hyrule Warriors Legends

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/03/hyrule-warriors-legends-review/

It's still fantastic. 

Podquisition Episode 71: We Have Dark Souls III

Grab an Estus Flask and settle in for some spoiler-free Dark Souls III discussion, as two thirds of the cast give their thoughts. One of us shouldn't even HAVE it!

Boglinwatch 2016 officially begins, the alleged NX controller looks utterly terrible, and Hyrule Warriors Legends is a thing... if you get it on the New 3DS.

The Jimquisition: Zero Difficulty

The news that Star Fox Zero would feature an invincible mode encouraged an almost predictable onslaught of outrage from the Hardcore Gamers who are Hardcore.

The idea of hand-holding and dumbing down has been a contentious topic for years, but if you scratch away the surface, there's another concern that just isn't hidden well enough.

The concern of an exclusive little club not b...

The Best of The Division Review’s Comment Section

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/03/the-best-of-the-division-reviews-comment-section/

I couldn't resist sharing the goldmine of outrage unearthed in the wake of my Division review. Prepare yourselves! 

Podquisition Episode 70: Real Oddworld Farts

Leading the news this week is the announcement that your old pal Jim will be voicing a character in the newly announced Oddworld: Soulstorm! Will he voice farts? Who knows?

Elsewhere, Laura has a piper y'all need to pay, Gav's been playing The Division, we have early Jimpressions of Quantum Break, and there's chat about PlayStation VR.

What a fun time!

Metabombed: Hitman Is ‘A Complete Fiasco’

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/03/metabombed-hitman-is-a-complete-fiasco/

More Metabombing, this time in response to Square Enix chicanery. 

The Jimquisition: Ubiconic

The Division was the last straw. After poking fun at Ubisoft's overuse of the word "iconic" for years, your old pal Jim Sterling has encountered the straw to break the camel's back.

Someone get this company a thesaurus. Please.

Review: Tom Clancy's The Division

Clancy that!

More dire crap from the anus of the game industry. 

The Jimquisition: Universal Windows Crap

Microsoft is pushing for dominance in PC gaming with its Universal Windows Platform, and it's not being entirely nice about it.

After outcry from Tim Sweeney and Durante, your old pal Jim Sterling joins the voices decrying Windows' walled garden as a really, really bad idea.

Shut up, Chip!

Podquisition 69: Bee Bombs & Bicycle Banging

The Yogscast's very own Sips joins your regular crew this week for a delightful episode revolving around weaponized bees and lurid bike sex in hotels.

We chat about The Division, Lionhead's closure, chancers on Early Access, and the appropriateness of being a baby in Assassin's Creed 2.

Review: Twilight Princess HD

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2016/03/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess-hd-review/

It is Twilight Princess. In HD!

The Jimquisition: No Man's Price

No Man's Sky is retailing for $59.99 and people have some angry concerns over the price tag. That folks are skeptical of the standard rate is good... but they're skeptical for the wrong reasons.

Let us not think like "AAA" companies when it comes to indie games and their place in the world. If we're going to look at pricing models, let's not miss the forest for the trees.
