Zero Punctuation Doesn't Think Highly of Alone in the Dark

Posted on July 17, 2008, Chris Zero Punctuation Doesn't Think Highly of Alone in the Dark

With all of the excitement around E3, we somehow managed to completely overlook our favorite weekly snarkfest, Zero Punctuation. But never fear, for here is yesterday’s jam-packed edition, which takes on Alone in the Dark.

While Yahtzee did find a few redeeming qualities (like its lovely fire physics and the fact that it comes in a box), he didn’t manage to finish it, refusing to use the game‘s feature to skip through chapters. It’s a good idea on paper, but taking into account what it was that caused him to stop playing, you’d probably be better off just moving onto another game rather than trying to see if it can one-up its already intolerably stupid fetch quests.
