I was wondering when Yahtzee would be reviewing another spunkgargleweewee game. And as expected, he went on about the same points he has in just about every CoD game; not that it's entirely his fault, since from the sound of it each game's plot and gameplay barely differs from the previous installment.
I was wondering when we were going to get the latest entry in the Spunkgargleweewee franchise. The Monty Python reference in the beginning pretty much sums up CoD from the first Modern Warfare game onward. Second verse, same as the first. Makes me wonder, if this game continues, what will be the next implausible enemy to knock on 'Merica's front door. My money is on the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Wow. I think that may be the worst you've ever been on a COD story, Yahtzee.
Probably earned ire though.
Also; D: JAM!

I don't know. Have you heard his Willem Dafoe screenplay? <.<JoJo said:
Wait a minute WHAT!? Orbital missile platforms? Did Activision miss the part where those were outlawed by the Geneva Convention? That's a freaking war crime waiting to happen right there! And who exactly is the US going to nuke? This all coming from a freaking American!
Is anyone really surprised that the latest in the Call of Duty milking operation is nothing more than dry powder that puffs from a chaffed tit which dried up years ago? Activision is going to keep milking this sad, pathetic excuse of an "IP" until such time as they cause it to implode; and based on the intellect of the average American -and players of these games-, that won't be happening any time soon.
Yahtzee, I'm sorry that you were put into a position to actually play this dribble just to review it. The only thing I think could have made it moderately tolerable is that it was so bad it was funny, thus you got a very long laugh out of it while doing your job. Still, enjoy your freedom from the hellish nightmare until next year's iteration (probably going to be "Call of Duty: Nuke the Whales" ).

JJJAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM... Best advertisement ever!
If you'll excuse me, I need to make some toast. Will the sequel be called "Marmalade" or are you going to come out of left-field and call it "Branston Pickle"?

Can't say enough to agree with the problems of the premise. I can't shake the feeling that these games, whse crazy, rampant xenophobia seem to be excused as weakly written 'plots', are going to be our generation's blackface minstrel shows.
I loved the stinger, particularly the bit about the most which could be hoped for in death was to be found in a pose which confused archeologists.

Nice plug at the end, might look into the audio version. And for the record, I'm pretty sure the one whispering "Jaaaaaaam" was Gabriel.
Yes!. We will attack with sticks, stones and political corruption. They will never see it coming.PunkRex said:
Never mind the fact that getting ALL of South America (or any other continent that has more than 2 countries in it) to agree to do something together it's unlikely, to say the least.
I hope they didn't give all the villians Mexican accents (please, please tell me they didn't).
With the enemy country in question, I'm surprised there wasn't a single reference towards the US acting like a soccer player pretending to be badly injured to get an unfair advantage.
This review is why i will never play a call of duty game ever again, unless it somehow manages to be better then 4
He's pretty much said before that he hates and won't review MP and I don't blame him since it's subjective to the server and people you play withjosh4president said:
I picked up a paperback copy of Jam awhile back but never finished reading it. I'll probably get the audiobook though since I can just do whatever while Yahtzee does all the work of reading it to me.
I had to laugh at the joke about outsourcing weapons development to Megatron, because NERD ALERT he gets most of his weapons from Shockwave, who secretly plots against him to takeover leading the Decepticons. END NERD ALERT
OT: very funny video, disappointed there's a LACK of much playing with the dog. Bit of a rip-off, I say. Scuba dog would have been son CUTE!
And I would buy JAM: The Audiobook if it had the same soundtrack as that stinger.

Most of the Pokemon villains seem to be more realistic than CoD villains/storylines nowadays. It's like some sort of Team Tortilla from an incredibly racist fanfiction. It'll sell a billion and CoDbros will be all "play it for the multiplayer duh". But like Yahtzee the prospect of making an entire game based off of multiplayer to me is just... no. TF2 being the only possible exception, and even that was only an obsession that lasted a few months before it got too annoying.
If Jam is read in that same tone the entire book, I'll probably pick up the audiobook version.

I will say that Yahtzee does a hell of a better job promoting his books than Movie Bob ("BUY MY BOOK!")
