Maybe you should e-mail Yahtzee about this. I don't that he bashed a game you like, I just want to see another 'Mail Bag Showdown'.

Some things he says I actually do take seriously because I know exactly what he is talking about and how frustrating it (whatever the complaint is) can be. Most of the time, however, I just sit back and enjoy the ride down Cynic Lane.

For instance, in his Arkham City review, he criticized the way you spend so much time with detective vision on. That's a genuine complaint for me, I got annoyed with that for a while. I could actively choose not to use detective vision, but that would just make things unnecessarily difficult.

I find his reviews refreshing. From the games that I have played that he as reviewed, his observations a spot on. I take his reviews, and his points seriously. Thats not to say that I will buy/not buy a game on his recommendation. But I will use his valid points, along with others to help determine where my hard earned money should be spent.

He doesn't review, he critiques. Comically. Quickly. Cynically. And often without breath. If he finds something distasteful, he will describe which particular brand of terrible it is. You only take it seriously as far as you agree, and find it equally distasteful, or at least bothersome. Tired of hiding behind walls in a gun fight? Annoyed at cheap deaths? Couldn't make sense of the plot without reading the piecewise unpublished book that is the Wiki page? He'll have a gripe for that.
Yep, exactly right there, he doesn't technically review anything; even then, he's no more bias than many 'reviewers' around, so basically, we all just have to make our minds up & not use reviews to validate our own opinions.

Since I'm not a huge gamer, Yahtzee's opinions on video games don't really effect me. The only reason I watch them is because his videos are funny, and that's all I really need.

I don't take Yahtzee's reviews seriously, but at the same time if he reviews a game and praises it and finds very little wrong with it I think 'damn, that must be a pretty good game then!'
