I still think his Halo 3 review is the most accurate one out there.
I love posting the link to that one just to piss of Halo fans who can't handle an alternative view point :)
same reaction to mac fanbois funnily enough :D
I love that Review almost as much as Halo O_o
same here, i looooove halo 3, best game i know of tbh, multiplayer co-op = pwnage :D
p.s STFU HALO OWNS!!!!!!!! :D
omfg rofl! this videos are gold!

In that case...FUCK HALO
Its made by microsoft and should of never been made...not like we had no other decent FPS's or something...
A retard could finish Halo on Legendary...The multi play: Its very much shit..
Seriously there are much better games out there...lets hope to god that this is the last installment of BS from microsoft/bungies...
Maybe Halo 1 was good...ok, yea it was...It just didn't need to be repeated twice...
even halo 1 was a mediocre first person shooter. I played it on PC first so maybe it was good for consoles but compared to real FPS's its nothing
Anyone got bets on what the next review will be on? I guessed last weeks one was going to be the Orange Box and I was right, not sure on this week though.
can he review a beta?

Halo was origninally produced by Bungie for release on PC and Mac in 2001. Then Microsoft bought them. They dictated the game specifics, just like EA did with BF2. Shit was cut from the original plan, the story line changed a bit, and you ended up with some abortion that was still the best thing xbox had ever seen.
Not a bad game, no. But not the best.
Later when Microsoft released a PC version, it was almost a port, only with some original features put back in (ability to use some vehicles you can't on xbox), and half the graphical eye candy taken out. Nice work morons!

ya reckon? imo he has way more charisa than that other guy
If you equate the number of swear words one can cram into a short space of time as being 'charisma' then yes.
However, if using the proper definition then I think that guy had all the charisma of your average rock. That swears a lot.
Yahtzee is clever in the way he puts his stuff together. He doesn't appear on screen so calling him charismatic perhaps isn't a particularly good description.
At least he doesn't rely on extensive swearing to get a few cheap laughs because he doesn't actually have anything of substance to say.
ya reckon? imo he has way more charisa than that other guy
And the games are rather last century.
That guy is just teh shit, MOH Review was lol, haven't played the game, but from what i know he's right : /
MOH one was awesome lol

Excellent. I'll definitely be buying this one, if only for the lightsabers!
Im glad he does reviews of Wii games. He's one of the very few competent gamers who actually write coherent reviews. Almost all Wii game reviews are written by either totally useless idiots or people in Nintendo's pay
I work part time at a video store, we are no longer getting product for Wii and all games have gone down in price just so they get hired. Hardly anyone has the console to play the games on, most of our hires go out with a machine to play them on.
Though in saying that, we got No More Heroes in recently for some strange strange reason, after they said no more Wii. It must be that good of a game.

Thank you Yahtzee for giving me a name for a term for games which descend into the pits of shittiness

The CoD4 review was soo much better, this one lacked a bit
The magic brick was my favourite mission. Nope, you can't shoot through a window, you definitely can't pick up a rubbish bin and throw it through the window, but if you come across a brick in a special empty lot then that will go through a window no worries.
That gun that shoots shurikens and lightning sounds awesome.
i just shot the window
I thought he is given games to review

I never liked Oblivion myself. Was far too much of a chore. They should have remade Morrowind instead
Morrowind wasn't a game, it was a running simulator set in a sea of brown.
Man the escapist site is hopeless, can never get onto it when the videos are uploaded... is it just me or does the site get hopelessly overloaded?

I think you missed the point it was a parody on people that write comics about games, nothing to do with BF2?
Have you seen Penny Arcade? AFAIK this is the original comic that took the piss out of things gaming, now there are a lot of comics that do the same but they're not really funny.
You say he nailed the stereo types, but he's taking the piss out of people who nail the stereotypes.
That's what I got from it anyway. Each to their own :)
wtf is up with the music? and the titles? its all...commercial...
that was a classic!
he posts on youtube too
he posts on youtube too

Where? He used to post there til he sold his soul. The only time i see his vids on youtube now are if someone else puts them there which isnt very often... i still cant see the escapist site... gah.
I cant even load the site anymore with ie or with ff3... sucks.
But for me its fighting against your mates which is what its all about.
Maybe that's why he doesn't get fighting games.No mates?
Seriously who plays story mode other than to sharpen skills to kick your mates arse.
Spore.

This the first time you have watched a Zero Punctuation video?
He didnt bash the uttershit out of that one :( Good review.
Has anyone played that game "The witcher"? Im thinking of getting it. Trailer looks bad but i hear good things.
I beg to differ
Although it lacked the vitriol of Uncharted: Drakes Fortune review ([url]http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/27-Uncharted-Drakes-Fortune[/url]) he definitely placed the blame for the games lacklusteryness(tm) squarely at the feet of EA designers. He also attacks the lack of empathy with the protaganist which, in an FPS world containing such brilliances as Half Life 2 and COD:4, tends to be a very very bad thing
Sure saying something is 'bland' might not sound very angry, but it certainly isnt too inspiring either. Especially if you're going to fork out money for a game
Its an ok game, just try get the newer release because the older ones got some pretty crappy translations. Something funny about the main characters constantly calling the female characters bitches and such.

Good review though. Far Cry 2 wasnt too bad a game

*Too repetitive
Bad review, he was too kind to such a sh!t game........
*Graphics are good

There didnt seem to be much in this one. Could some it up with:

well that's not what I expected he actually likes it... he doesn't trust the creativity of the general user though.

Cripes that guy is a lazy shit, reviewing an old old old old old old old old game
Which I really liked(Thief 2). I feel like playing No one lives forever, but I lost the cd years ago

lazy shit eh? i dont see you releasing reviews every week, unless you want to count 7 billion cry threads about gat hero
pity you dont pay him or the site
If you remember he hasnt always reviewed the latest released games
geeez it can be bad enough people complaining about stuff they buy as if they were forced to buy it, let alone people complaining about shit they get for free as if they are owed something

This episode was surprisingly excellent. A++ trader, would trade again
The weird advert for something from Escapist Magazine right at the start was really disconcerting though
One of the funniest in a while. Probably because it was more of a rant than a proper review.
I wet myself at his 50 cent one, i really did, GOLD
fallout 3 is too brown and grey. Needs more colours imo.Mods.
He set up the punchline and then delivered upon it perfectly.
He's average now.
He's average now.
Still doesn't fail to crap me up
I don't think I've laughed at one this year.
He seems to review random games that I don't care about these days.
:violin:
lol j/k
Far Cry 2's accents "take yor frustratns out on the zebras" had me actually laughing.
50 cent's review cracked me up - only because I don't like 'him' - Some of his songs are all good, and rap in general is all good. I agree with rap is hard to defend, 2 many drop kicks are in it.
i still like his reviews because he does point out the negative things in the games that actually matter, vs say gamespy who point out the glitch on the wall in level 1 that no one notices

It’s a close call, but I’m going to declare Sucker Punch the winner by one lovingly-rendered pair of breasts. Also their unicorn is a much prouder, mightier steed, and Alex’s expression is delightfully coquettish. Therefore InFamous must be the better game. Buy InFamous. Prototype’s still good, though. Buy it as well.[/quote]

About Giana’s Return
Giana’s Return aims to be a worthy UNOFFICIAL sequel of “The Great Giana Sisters”. There is an official sequel for Nintendo DS named “Giana Sisters DS” ( [url]http://www.giana-sisters.com/[/url] ) and also has slightly more levels than Giana’s Return. In other words, it’s worth the money :)
