Zero Punctuation sinks its teeth into Umbrella Chronicles

by Chris Greenhough { Jan 30th 2008 at 8:00PM }

This week on Zero Punctuation, gaming misanthrope Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw tackles Wii rail shooter Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. While the acidic one lays into the shamelessly cheesy dialogue and concludes that Capcom's title is "a rather unnecessary game that gaming history will swiftly forget," he also admits the game has "a charming retro feel."

The entire review is embedded after the break, but remember, kids: this is Zero Punctuation, and so NSFW.

I love Zero Punctuation.
My wife & I catch him every Wednesday and laugh ourselves into stitches. He's even funny when I like the game he's tearing apart, like REUC. He's even funny when HE likes a game.

In an age where it seems some gamers will buy anything and reviewers will overrate the most worthless programming nightmares, It's good to know that Yahtzee is still givin' it to us straight and looking out for us consumers.

I can't wait to see him tear apart No More Heroes. If any game deserves a Zero Punctuation, review it's that overrated piece of....

I'll finish that Gonzo:....gaming godliness.

I think the pictures he puts up(to make the movie) really help with the laughs.

hell yeah, he would only be half as funny if it weren't for those pictures. They just work

Actually perv, I was going to use an expletive. Perhaps a double expletive. Ya' know one that rhymes with sucking (which would work too) and another that rhymes with pit.

I wasn't going to use anything close to godliness unless that god is Sterculius, the Roman god of feces.
