How to play God of War:

AV Club games: Seriously reviewing things that don't deserve anyone's attention because they're easy. I'd be surprised if FFXIII happens tomorrow, since you probably couldn't review it after just one hour playing.

I guess I need to see it again and reevaluate my position.

Now that I think about it, that DOES feel like a Whedon move.

"The hammer is my penis."

Didn't read the review because I was in a hurry to be opinionated.

It was a C- at best. Eventually you give up and laugh at a few things, but at the end you know you've wasted two hours of your life.

I don't get all the God of War love. I played halfway through the first one and got bored with the mindless button-smashing, as well as the rule that female=topless.

THE AENEID: THE GAME: Escort your father through the ruins of Troy! Break Dido's heart through a question-and-answer game! Master the art of the flashback!

I don't think I can separate the finale for the rest of the show. Before the finale, I was prepared to camp out for the DVD box set, but no more. Since the show is built upon the mystery of what comes next, knowing that what comes next is nothing taints the entire process for me. Instead of "ooo remember when everyone…

You got it, Eponymous. Yeah, All Along the Watchtower? You don't do something like that without fleshing out a connection to our 20th century. Unless life is cyclical. And that would just be another cop-out screwball.

I guess I would be fine with "God did it," if the show gave me more of an idea of what God actually did. The influence of the divine would have resonated more with me if I actually knew who the Five were in their former lives, why they did what they did, and what the skinjobs really were. After that "God did it" would…

Rowsdower — I had a problem with the BSG ending because it just made it obvious that the writers had a much lesser sense of an overall story than they originally led on. I didn't expect every detail to be locked down from the beginning, but I was hoping there was some ultimate goal; Starbuck's silly exit and some…

It's been the "recognize the cultural reference and reward yourself with a laugh" game ever since the revival. I only watch any of these shows because nothing else is on.

Hey Grammys,
Hi, it's Fox. We're flipping the bird to you by putting on new episodes against you, because everyone knows you suck.

He told Oprah that he didn't consider what his decision was doing to the hard-earned career of another human being because "that's not my job."

I HATE
button mashing minigames, especially when they are completely out of place in the game (I'm looking at you, MGS). MGS: Smash buttons to save Meryl and get a different ending! Nevermind that the game is about sneaking and planning and not crazy action. MGS2: Smash buttons to FUCKING ADVANCE IN THE GAME. I was…

I loved Knytt, thanks to the AV Club for letting me know about it.

Two-hour long puzzle games are easier to review.

If this came out 25 years ago
it would have been labeled "shitty" instead of retro. Not that it's bad, but in 1985 people wanted the mainstream eye-poppers we have now.
