Hello, you friendly little bottom burps! In keeping with my desire to provide more updates, here I am providing more updates. Can I stop this one from becoming a bloody novella this time? Maybe? Anyway, The Jimquisition tried a slightly different thing this week, tackling four different subjects ins

Game of the Year awards are as prone as any other form of videogame critique to causing upset. Very much like controversies surrounding game reviews, I've read the same debates crop up, year after year, for decades. Before I even started getting into it myself. The most common phrase to occur in any

In a new written article, I look at the current success of major single-player games like Sekiro and Resident Evil 2, examine the response from their publishers, and discuss the fact we haven't had a new BioShock game all generation. Note: I gotta fix it so the new site plays well with Patreon. That

Another long form editorial from your ol' pal Jim Sterling. I wrote about Capcom's recent renaissance, a comeback in terms of creativity, commercial success, and critical acclaim. It's nice to say nice things for a change! Blog | The Jimquisition (The Jimquisition)

Another editorial from yours truly today. I've written about the Unreward System, a way in which "AAA" videogames manipulate gameplay rewards to make their monetization more appealing. Hope you enjoy it! Blog | The Jimquisition (The Jimquisition)

I'm getting back into long-form writing after a long time away, at least while my headspace is open to the idea.

It's been a rough holiday. Family tragedy, pet worries, personal injuries. I wasn't going to do The MEDIOCRE Awards this year, but had a last-minute burst of willpower and got it done. Hope you like! Tomorrow will be the big dance, of course. Keep an eye out for Monday's Shittiest Games list. Skelet

We all saw this coming. Time for another perusal of Metacritic's user reviews, as Battlefront II gets utterly thrashed. Metabombed: Star Wars Battlefront II Is 'The Epitome Of Years Of Corporate Greed' (Thejimquisition)

A new trailer for Detroit: Become Human portrays domestic violence... well, it portrays an outdated, hackneyed version of it anyway. Detroit's Domestic Abuse Trailer Is A Hackneyed Farce (Thejimquisition)

Perhaps the most easily predicted Metabomb of all is finally here. Metabombed: Shadow Of War 'Should Be Quarantined And Destroyed' (Thejimquisition)

As Patrons, it's important you read this particular bit of news. I'm addressing an long-standing burnout problem I've had with traditional game reviews. I want to jack the old model in, and bring in what I think is a better approach to game reviews. This results in more content for you, and ultimate

The game may be sad, but the reviews are quite funny. Metabombed: Mass Effect: Andromeda Is 'Unbelievably Sad' (Thejimquisition)

This was initially just a regular YouTube channel upload, but since Nintendo ContentID claimed it and took all ads off, I figured I'd toss it up as Jimquisition Dot Com material too.

Our second annual MEDIOCRE Awards are now up! Hooray? The MEDIOCRE Awards 2016 (Thejimquisition)

Let's celebrate Christmas by looking at nasty comments. Metabombed: Dead Rising 4 Is 'Awful, Just Awful' (Thejimquisition)

Titanfall 2 got microtransactions, but they're not what I usually think of when I talk about the increasingly skeezy business practice. The DLC offerings in this game are refreshingly direct, and present a thorny issue to me. Titantransactions (Thejimquisition)
