Your Best of Yahtzee!

[Nazulu]

Yahtzee has made alot of reviews, most of them funny and even useful. So for the fun of it,
Make a list of your top 5 best Yahtzee reviews, and if you want, why are they your favourites? Also if you don't like list threads then say your favourite review and tell us why? I'm gonna make a list very soon!

I have only been here for a short time but I have yet to see any best Yahtzee review threads.

1) halo wars. because of the quote "as the exasperated chinese zookeeper said to the last male panda in the world, FUCK THAT" and everything from the introduction of the time limit mission to the end of the vid.

2) halo 3. because he managed to introduce a playboy playmate and narnia into the review

3)Prince of persia (the new one) just very funny

4)Assassins Creed. He called attention to all the weird things about my favourite game and made me laugh.

5)Devil may cry 4. again he made me laugh as he took the piss out of my second favourite game

That is all.

1. Gears of War 2 - Just the way the two main characters are represented
2. House of the Dead: Overkill for the line 'He uses the phrase '************' the way most of us would use a comma'
3. Resident Evil 5: 'Running away from your support character with more desperate terror than you feel towards any of your enemies'
4. Halo Wars: For the 'all map prick hodown'
5. Too Human: For the sheer ammount of resentment Yahtzee feels for the game.

All his reviews of wii games. I love how much he mocks the wii.

That's because list threads aren't allowed, and a lot of people dislike Yahtzee, for whatever reason.

I don't, but you're likely to get a few people on your case.

Don't want to sound like a smart ass but where does it say list threads are not allowed?

Thats good Yahtzee history there!

That is all.

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

The rules.
(Unlike you, I do wish to sound like a smartass.)

Actually, I don't know that list threads are specifically called out, but they, like versus threads, are generally looked down upon.

I looked at the forum guidelines again unless theres another set of rules!

"A good thread will generate discussion."
The implication is that just listing things isn't a discussion.

To be fair, though, I ignore rules that are much more clearly stated.
"One sentence non sequiturs are not good replies."
"Your responses should be relevant to the topic at hand or address a particular post."

Good point! But since it is not aiming directly at list or verse threads I guess it's not doing much harm.

Not in any order...

1) Psychonauts
2) Call of Duty 4
3) Halo 3
4) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
5) Halo Wars (Mainly because I quite liked Graham (or Paul) in that review, and want to see more. However, many people seem to disagree.)

Now, I know this is 'yet another Zero Punctuation thread' and a list one at that, but I'm rolling with it.

After all, I am a regular on The Escapist Forums, and not once have I expressed my opinions on their most famous show.

The fact that this is a list topic that isn't supposed to create discussion, seems to be creating a discussion.

But on topic, I honestly don't think I could with how many videos he has, and how great most of the are, all I can say, is that the Sonic Unleashed Review would be in there somewhere.

 

[Nazulu]

in case its the repeat thread and list thread rules. there are plenty of list threads that are nothing special and there are even more Yahtzee threads just like this. use the search button.

I used the search button but after 10 pages of nothing with some links going back to 2007, I thought it would be fine.

 

[Dommyboy]

The reviews that has opening and closing music which is relevant to the review. Those reviews were always awesome.

 

[Nazulu]

List done:

5) Clive Barkers Jericho - Because of the amount of cliched crap and for the line 'I could go on listing the stupid design decisions, so I will!

4) Eve Online - 'Eve Online does the impossible by making deep space boring!'

3) Sonic Unleashed - The way Yahtzee sounded angrier when going further into the review and for mentioning uses for a stuffed Sonic.

2) Halo Wars - Basically inspired this thread and for both hilarious reviews from Graham and Yahtzee. Possibly the funniest!

1) Fable 2 - Mainly because just about everything Yahtzee said in this review is true and was also hilarious.

The best of Yahtzee implies we can mention stuff other than the reviews, so I'm going to dredge something up from the past. Far and away the best thing he ever did was his Comic, Yahtzee Takes on the World.

Found it on the Fullyramblomatic site a while back.
