Never say never, as the phrase goes. A new art form always encounters resistance by the current generation of the time. It's the new generation which grows up with that art form, that will accept it more readily. Give it 20 years, and it'll be considered art. Well, at least some indie...

Actually, it is pretty good, speaking as a member of an ethnic group living in Australia. Sure, you get the occasional racial flare up in some insular pockets, but the vast majority of people are quite easy going about racial issues. Seems like some Americans are being overly sensitive to...

The music in the daily interludes of this review, brought back memories of when Yahtzee used all sorts of different songs at the beginning and end of the review. That was so much better than the current trite theme song. Plus Yahtzee cleverly tied in the music to the general tilt of the...

And the Canadians. Yahtzee is not racist; he hates most everyone equally. But we love you, Yahtzee! Of course, fanboys are what Yahtzee hates the most.

That was "nitpickers". He was going to say "those lazy nitpickers". Geez, doesn't that embarrass everyone who assumed something else.

And more to the point, Michael Atkinson is the sole reason why Australia does not have an R rating for video games. Therefore Silent Hill Homecoming has effectively been banned in Australia, because it was too violent for an M (mature) rating. Yahtzee was just pointing out that he's got the...

Anti-helicopter scones, FTW!! Now that would be a great weapon to add to an FPS. Excellent review as always. I shall never again see in the same way, a wooden box of rockets lying by the road. Toss away the generic theme song, bring back the theme songs with the witty association! They...

Yep, we can order it fine from overseas. In fact, it works out much cheaper to order games from the US, than it does to buy it from inside Australia. You can't order PS3 games via Amazon. I think Sony have asked them to block international shipping. It doesn't stop other game stores, or...

Somehow, I don't think that'll convince people of the merits of the song. It's a good song. Yahtzee and King Missile; if the two ever met, the world would never be the same.

And now for a critique of the criticism. Yahtzee is still very funny, even when giving out praise. Just as long as he's also lambasting some other facet associated with the game. In this case, he is making a point about fps cliches. It's funny. Really. Laugh. His reviews can be...

The basic problem is, that games in Australia _must_ be classified before they can be sold, and there is no "R" classification for games. The end result is that any game that are adult only, are refused classification and are effectively banned. There is hope though. The new government is...

That's a slight exaggeration, but you are right. Psychonauts did have its weak points. It was certainly not perfect. It started off slow, the opening levels were average, collections were tough, it had many platforming cliches. Where it did well though, it excelled! The dialogue was...
