Reviews
A review is an evaluation of a publication, such as a movie, video game, musical composition, book, or a piece of hardware like a car, appliance, or computer. In addition to a critical statement, the review's author may assign the work a rating (for instance, one to five stars) to indicate its relative merit. More loosely, an author may review current events or items in the news.
Long Line of Leavers
Long Line of Leavers is a studio album from Caedmon's Call. The new album features more mature songwriting than their 1997 project and more interesting instrumentation than the band's straightforward follow-up, 40 Acres. Acoustic rock and folk remain the cornerstone of their music, but it's peppered with a wide array of instruments ranging from folksy acoustic guitars, banjos, and accordion, to high production electric guitars, keyboards, and strings. It's clear that Caedmon's Call is attempting to stretch their musical horizons … and they succeed by never straying too far from their style despite their progressive nature.
Zero Punctuation
Zero Punctuation is a weekly video-review column by Croshaw produced for The Escapist. In it, Croshaw reviews a recent game or games, using his rapid-fire speech delivery, analogously followed by a minimalistic cartoon mirroring what has been said. Croshaw more often than not provides highly critical reviews of games, usually focusing on a game's obvious faults and comparing them to praised older titles - he also noted that "No one likes it when I'm being nice to a game" (after his positive Psychonauts review), and "I know it's not very funny to love a game", on a rare occasion, when he "couldn't think of any criticism for Portal". His style can be considered similar to that of the British TV critic Charlie Brooker. The reviews led to a four hundred percent increase in the Escapist's traffic.
