Been watching the Zero Punctuation vids for awhile now and the creator goes by the name of 'Yahtzee Croshaw' who makes satirical and just generally hilarious game review vids across console and pc. He does a weekly review for the Escapist magazine (http://www.escapistmagazine.com) every Thursday.

Some of my favourites include:

The Orange Box http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2541-Zero-Punctuation-The-Orange-Box
Peggle http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2280-Zero-Punctuation-Peggle
Halo 3 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2304-Zero-Punctuation-Halo-3
Console Rundown http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1383-Zero-Punctuation-Console-Rundown
and Bioshock http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/1394-Zero-Punctuation-BioShock

He's done plenty of other games such as The Darkness, Tomb Raider, Tabula Rasa, Manhunt etc which are still very funny.
Even if you dislike the game/never heard of it before you are bound to enjoy the video anyway which makes for much fun when procrastinating for studying :)

Excuse me if these have been posted in the funny vid section or somewhere else before but I couldn't find them on the forums when I searched.

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 :)

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.
