If you're reading this Yahtzee: always remember that deadpan is the finest form of comic delivery. I've noticed in the last two/three videos he's been stressing certain punchlines with a tone of despair or anger. It feels like perfectly good jokes are being forced a little, when they'd have come off fine in the slightly sneering monotone.
I appreciate that in this instance it was probably to accentuate the So Very Angry rant at the beginning and it was nice to hear someone vocalise the anger I tend to feel constantly these days regarding games. I haven't paid money for a new game since 2004 and I've no intention of being one of those poor hypocrites who like to rant about the state of gaming while forking out for Generic Shooter 3 because it might be "better than I expected".

Opinion..... Yathzee already knows this is brilliant video but im here to talk about something else and i hope i can attract your attention and yathzee too......since yathzeee has mencion multiple times games as an art form i wish he could an especial episode about it ...to discuss what does i need to be come a good game and artistic one ...and since prince of persia, killer 7 shadow of the collosus, no more heroes... already have been mention i wish he could talk more about it...... and other games like super columbine rpg and otheres game that call themselves art
I don't think I'd call Final Fantasy XII a "cookie cutter sequel" when it's pretty different from the other Final Fantasy games. Also, I own every single one of the games you held as examples of innovation. xP
I don't have an Xbox, but I'm definitely going to get Braid when the PC version is released. Or, better yet, a PS3 version if one is ever announced.

i disagree with you about FF12 being cookie cutter, i cant think of any other sequel that altered the gameplay as much as FF12
I've also played beyond good and evil and psychonauts, the latter while original and with some funny moments still has shit gameplay and some of the worst character designs i've ever seen in a game

I also blame Adrian 
. As one who doesn't have a 360, I can't check on the validity of this review, but Braid does sound like fun.

Not really. They're actually for the people who have brains and enjoy using them.HalfShadow post=6.69741.669955 said:
The turn off for me with that game from just the trail would be all the art that game has, it was being too artsy for me to play it, and doesn't satisfy my short attention span for the long term.
Funny it's not really an "Indie" game when they had the income of a high budget hit, I didn't know that.
I need to pick up Killer 7 at some point...

Good review of a game I didn't know existed
Some rethorical ninja outta review the heavy and/or pyro update for team fortress 2. Everybody seems to love that piece of shit even though it completely ruins the game while everyone and his mom gets the new guns. I do enjoy shooting them in the head though. The sound of a sniper headshot is just so delicious. It sounds like power if you had to express the feeling without saying the word ... like fingers snapping in contempt.
