List of Zero Punctuation episodes

The first episodes of Zero Punctuation were originally uploaded to YouTube by the series' creator Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, where they quickly drew attention from the video games community. Shortly afterwards, The Escapist contacted Croshaw and employed him to make more videos for their website.

Initially, the episodes featured different music each week during the introduction and credits. However, in July 2008, the title sequence was remade, and featured a new theme tune which has been used on every episode since.

2009-01-07 Awards for 2008 A mock awards show in which Yahtzee presents various humorous awards to games of 2008 and their characters.

The awards were:

2009-01-14 Tomb Raider: Underworld

2009-01-28 Gears of War 2
2009-02-04 LittleBigPlanet Contains a clip of someone dancing around to "Soul Bossa Nova" with two eyes stuck onto their boxer shorts, Yahtzee thinking the review was a bit short and added the clip to "fill the time" before returning to comment on user made content.

2009-04-29 Siren: Blood Curse Yahtzee reviews the game after criticisms that his "Biggest Disappointment of 2008" for the survival horror genre failed to take into account that Siren: Blood Curse was a "true" survival horror game, which Yahtzee acknowledges.

2012-01-11 Top 5 Games of 2011 Yahtzee reviews what he feels to be the best and worst games of 2011.

On the top 5 list were:
5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
4. Infamous 2
3. Bastion
2. Driver: San Francisco
1. Portal 2

On the bottom 5 list were:
5. Mindjack
4. Red Faction: Armageddon
3. Dead Island
2. Duke Nukem Forever
1. Tie between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3
After naming Infamous 2 the fourth-best game of the year, he clarified that a major reason for doing so was that it decisively concluded its narrative without a sequel hook, and joked that if a sequel to the game were to be released he would retroactively give the award to Minecraft instead. In 2014, Infamous Second Son was released for the PlayStation 4.
