I wet myself at his 50 cent one, i really did, GOLD

But I hate to say it, his rant was inaccurate to say the least.

He sings about love songs and more love songs and partying, in which he's been mocked about:

i.e. Jadakiss - Checkmate

[video]rVbPjUgZobA[/video]

I like this 50 Cent diss and more reflective of Yahtzee's rant:

[video]acCjWhIvhlk[/video]

Speaking of Wu-Tang Clan and games:

[video]DIOCgruTkdY[/video]

You dunno how fun this game was back in the day.

Also, it's not like rap and games can't result in a good game:

Revolutionary and new in it's concept Def Jam:Icon was (unlike a lot of games these days). The fusion of control of music via a fighting game. The fighting however let it down.

Also:

[video]vCQaTGoE7YM[/video] (PS2/XBOX 1 graphics, 2004)

One of the best fighting games I have played. Yes, really.
And guess what, both are made by EA!
In fact, Def Jam: Fight for NY is rated quite highly (83 and 84 on Metacritic).
Fight for NY was bloody good multiplayer fun. Using the special moves and objects like pool cues to whack people was the shiz.

And yes, I'm sick of defending rap too but yes...

Well, I'll let Chris Rock explain:

[video]z9A2I-X7b-w[/video]

See what I did there....

Another good one. It highlights everything I've found annoying with the game, but I'm still enjoying it. Although I have not played RE4, or any other RE, so its new to me.

Halo Wars, with a bit on X-Blades at the start done by someone from one of the other Escapist video series which was decently funny.

He seems to review random games that I don't care about these days.

Reply #363 Posted: May 04, 2009, 02:51:59 pm
Related to *juice*. The Orz like *sauce*, which they seem to acquire through killing: "After the *dancing*, Orz think you will make good *special sauce*. Maybe even for other Orz *party*." It would seem this is likely to be something sinister. The Orz apparently wish those who take part in *parties* to enjoy the *sauce*, as in the above quote, or in their parting words from random encounters: "Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*."

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.

Sorry, it takes something intelligent to get me to laugh.

But srsly, all trolling aside, I get it, he's the Simon Cowell of video games, and really anything he can do about it. He keeps using the same premises for jokes over and over; it's just not gonna work. "And the result is less filling than three Thai ladyboys." Yeah, I get it, you like to punctuate every point with coarse innuendo. It was funny at first.

tbh, it feels like he's gotten out the anger that he's had brewing for a few decades, now he's just printing the money while he can. If he is, good on him, I would do the same. If he's actually trying to come up with original material, god help us all.

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

Agree with this.  Still watch them every week and whilst I do not find them as amusing as I did I still do find them amusing, and there is still some originality at times.

I think that he does a good job of giving a serious review in a way which is not dull.  My pet complaint is the games he reviews, so many are going to be shit from the start no matter what (Halo Wars I mean seriously).
