Anyone else hear the siren in the backround at around 1:40?

The video was once just a review. Then ads appeared at the end, giving the review a false sense of length. Now we have to look at an ad at the beginning that's too fast to skip. All that plus a silly content diluting "nooooo" makes me wonder whether it's all worth the effort. That being...

I'm not familiar with the game, but it was a fun review nonetheless. He smashed the came, but did so with apparently genuine content. The problem arises when Ben is so eager to criticize a game (apparently to please the bloodlust of his viewers) he does so at the expense of reviewing context...

Ben has developed a habit of sacrificing content for scathing commentary. While much of his review focused on EVE specifically, the large part was simply a critique of characteristics to MMORPG's generally. That's not particularly helpful. MMORPGs, like all video games, assume that gamers...

His top 5 list is reasonable. Yet, one wonders how Fantasy World Dizzy and Silent Hill 2 can outrank Half-Life or Half-Life 2. HL and HL2 have analogously rich and intelligent environments to SH2, but lack the awfully clunky combat and interaction problems plaguing SH2. As for characters...

Thanks. It's very easy to slip in verbal hyperbole and rant that Yahtzee has "sold out" or that he "totally sucks now." That's not true though. He's still witty and insightful. I just don't understand how he can wave the story-flag in his reviews and then bash story in AoC when it appears...

Perhaps Yahtzee is busy enjoying his newfound fame and pursuing other projects. Perhaps producing one video a week is too much work. Perhaps he's feeling the pressure to pour verbal acid over every game he reviews. This latest video furthers Yahtzee's growing trend towards humor over content...

I agree with that. Yahtzee's review sure is funny. They are usually entertaining. Yet I wonder whether he suppressed all the very good qualities that Oblivion has to offer. Yahtzee appears to be concerned that all we want to hear is the negatives, that somehow he can't possibly say anything...

This was a fine review. Insightful and entertaining from start to finish. For a moment there I almost forgot he reviewed Peggle.

This reviews spotlight yet another of Ben's good qualities. Ben not only has wit and intellect but also has a sense of history. So many gamers can't think before 2003. I played Pong. New. Out of the box. Still have my Atari 2600. Coded on a TRS-80 Model I, Level II 16K expandable to a...

Kudos to Yahtzee once again for producing a fine review. He writes an insightful analysis of first person shooters. These points are spot on. Let's hope the gaming industry heeds Ben's words. Ben is at his best when the jokes and irony complement his review and not overwhelm them. Unlike...

They could have done a bit more with the Yahtzee parody instead of just having him run around a field like a fool. A fair effort though.

Not bad. Always a pleasure to see a bloated and overhyped series get taken down a notch. And he's keeping the boobie references to a minimum. Finally. Makes me wanna buy Fatboy Slim too.

This latest review is Yahtzee's Halo 3. Lots of hype. He's Yahtzee, you know, so OMFG you'll wet yourself it's so funny. But ... it just does not live up to the anticiption. He's trying too hard. He sacrifies content on the altar of humor. The reason why dear 'ol Ben is so fine at what he...

First impressions are good enough. One does not need to eat an entire egg to know that it is rotten.
