Zero Punctuation

Games critic Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, best known for his acerbic Zero Punctuation reviews, is still delivering his trademark harsh takes on video games, and coverage of his work frames that persistence as a good thing for games criticism. Readers and commentators celebrate his no-nonsense, comedic takedowns as a rare voice of blunt honesty in a press landscape often criticised for being too friendly to publishers.

Games writer Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, whose Zero Punctuation reviews were a fixture of gaming culture in the 2000s, is still producing acerbic videogame criticism through his successor series Fully Ramblomatic. Commenters say his scathing, fast-paced style remains as essential a watch as it was in its heyday.
