can he review a beta?


Considering hes done a piece on Tabula Rasa I don't see why he couldn't run a another beta skit.

eh. They are wicked funny fantastic though. So well done, haha.
I loved the use of Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) as the pegs in the peggle one, hahahah.

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...

damn you and your bait!!!!!

it was not made by microsoft, it was made by Bungie!

i don't see how the multi player sucks as its the most balanced game i have come across, u don't have any weapon that can WTFpwn, but i guess u can love those games where it takes less skill

hehehe see my hidden bait : D?

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!

Thats just too try hard. He relies on swearing for the 'humour' whereas Yahtzee uses wit and is actually funny.

That's because you swear a lot and rage just like him...
He was reasonably funny, but that was more because he made out like he was raging at the game whilst he was playing it.




Yahtzee is a charismatic stallion...

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.

This week he does MOH:Airborne, hopefully he does COD4 in the future (highly doubt multiplayer though :() and I can guarantee he'll do Crysis.

I rather like the way he subtly (and somestimes not so) sneaks in some scathing commentary regarding the US on a semi-regular basis.

No comment on the Halo love/hate posts. I have moved on from the fanboyism.

After getting Halo 3, I loved it, but I was a little dissapointed. Mainly cause of the play time, and a couple of plot holes. The multiplayer is getting a bit repetitive and forge is not what I was led to believe. No gauss hog on valhalla? WTF? No wraith on last resort? WTF?

Bring on COD4!
