piss off the fanboys even more, review another one of the ever-growing number of awesome indie games.
'
my reccommendation is minecraft, it's only £8.35 so it wont be too much of a drain and it is one of the fastest selling indie games ever!
it would be so funny to see everyone wanting to see Yahtzee do reach when he clearly will put it off for as long as possible

I got this when Yahtzee mentioned it on Twitter, and i played it in a dark room with 7.2 surround headphones and my graphics card set to attempt 3d rendering. Wear your best brown boxers for this game.
I started the game, but lost interest because frankly, walking around upside-down is rather disorienting and gets old rather quickly. Especially since the game seems hellbent on keeping me in this state no matter how many lights I turn on in a room. That and I finally got Arkham Asylum a few days after I got this, so eh, maybe I'll give it another go.
I plan on buying it when I got me a huge stockpile of diapers filling my apartment. I watched the trailer on steam and it had me on the edge, peeing my pants, so I'm suer that Yahtzee isn't kidding when he calls Insomnia a 'constipation aid'.
I love a good scare but I'll probably have trouble sleeping for a week after playing it...

Woop! Was hoping for an Amnesia review. Brought it on a whim as a game I'd heard nothing about but happened to see on steam's front page that looked rather cool.
Was far from dissapointed, perfect length, interesting 'puzzles' (although they're not very puzzling), nice graphics, closest thing to shit yourself gameplay I've ever seen and brilliantly designed levels + creatures.
People go and buy this game, it's amazing and the developer needs support.

There are constant hints as to things going on but for quite a while you dont even catch a glimpse of any of the creatures. You're also finding your bearings for the first part of the game due to the magic potion shananigans.lozfoe444 said:
Can I have some help here? I'm tring to decide if I want Penumbra: Overture or Amnesia. Nto only because I'm wondering which is scarier, but because I'm wondering which one has lower system requirements. I have a really crappy PC, so let me play this out: Portal works, Doom 3 doesn't. The Penumbra tech demo (which I loved) works fine, but i wonder if there's an engine difference. If not, I just need to decide what I feel like. Price is no big deal, 2 dollars difference, whatever, but I'd prefer whichever is scarier. I've longed for a horror game (that I haven't already played, Silent Hill) that truly scares me. Silent Hill freaked me out a bit, while I'm laughing at F.E.A.R, DOOM 3, Dead Space, and Resident Evil 4, saying "Wait, that's supposed to scare me?"(although those games are still good, just not scary.) I've heard Penumbra is really scary, though, but Yahtzees reaction has me split. I need help!
I'm not a hardcore horror game fan but this caught my eye on Steam, and it is quite possibly the scariest game I've ever played.
I contemplated spamming his inbox with requests to review this game but I got distracted by laziness, so I'm glad he did it anyway. My 1st reaction was joy when I saw he got around to playing it, then I got scared he might cover it in a mound of shit (which he did, but in a strangely good way), but then I thought about it and couldn't really come up with much to be disliked about the game and I was curious to see if he found any flaws. Well, of course he did, but I'm glad he liked/recommended it. Now I'll go back to playing it, I still have far too many dark dark rooms to go through.
Very well made video, with all the nice references, but what's the storyline of that game ? just survival ?
Great review I do agrea it not the best game of the year but it is so good in the horror area. Never play this in the dark with vent on. Lol being on the verg to shit your self and your buddy stops to say hi which freaks you out.
Still got to love how Yahtzee stuck it to all the want a be gaming fanboys by saying f-you Halo Reach. Never can understand why people bring big hype about a very outdated duchtap buggy PoS hardwear. I play a cross platform game bet it in 2 - 4 hours and feel I need a refund cause it was bad. Thank you Microsoft for bring game level down to the causal level. Bunch of sell outs.
