Zero Punctuation is awesome. It is also filled with nasty potty-talk, so if'n you're a youngster, don't you dare even think about looking at Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's various videos, or else your young ears may smolder with the heat of his wrathful venting. Yathzee usually hates just about everything (except Prince of Persia), so it comes to no surprise to us that he was not a huge fan of Bionic Commando Rearmed. That said, he's still funny as all get-out, and the random image of a stick figure Hitler curb-stomping an NES almost makes up for his clear inability to actually play and enjoy the game. Don't watch this unless you're over 18, please.
Afraid that Bionic Commando is gonna be too tough for you to master? Think that swinging in three-dimensions will make you feel all barf-y? Nonsense! It's so easy, even the cutesy Bionic Commando in these clever illustrations from the dev team can do it! Check out these toon-y tips for shooting, grappling, swinging, zipping and the all-important Death From Above move!
Our buddy Ricardo over at Gamespot swung by our offices (<-- see what I did there?) to go hands-on with Bionic Commando's multiplayer. We had deathmatch sessions running on eight 360s, allowing players to grapple the crap out of each other. This was the first time most of us have played multiplayer internally as well, and we were all geniunely surprised at how much fun it is already. I had thought that moving in three dimensions was going to make deathmatching much more complicated, but your brain wraps around the controls quickly. It's especially satisfying to grapple into another player feet-first and send them flying off the side of a building. Using the sniper rifle for sneaky headshots is tougher than most games, since your target inevitably swings out of range quickly, but hot rocket death from above is still a sure-fire way to rack up some quick kills.
