I feel vaguely concerned about replying to this video, having seen the first five replies being suspended for theirs, two of which I feel are entirely legitimate. I am not sure if the mods felt they were too punctual, or too short on words... anyway. >.>
That aside, I liked this review much as I have enjoyed all of Yahtzee's other reviews. There is something warmingly familiar about knowing that he will be heaving steaming chunks of stomach acid all over something, as to slowly watch its face burn for having the indignance of failing to meet his expectations.
This is to be qualified, perhaps, with Yahtzee having high expectations of games, and low expectations of people (which I might add is somewhat contradictory.) However, if he didn't, and he was just another calm voice, gently explaining his viewpoint, I doubt we would all love him, or that he would have a show on the escapist.

I'm not sure exactly when this game was released, but I've got to play the *****. An indie game called "Cortex Command" has you order little men with jetpacks to fight, as far as I know, CC has been out for some time before Dark Void, so jetpacks have been done.
There's also that awesome windows pixelly game JETPAC.

I'm looking forward to the ME2 review, as Yatzeeh seems to be one of the few stout critics who don't blindly find it awesome. Apart from the visual aspect I don't see anything impressive about ME2, the dialogues and story don't interest me one bit. Evil robots? Oh no! Evil insects? Oh no! Really...
Bloody hell, you included a picture of Rugby school! I know you went to Sheriff but that's still pretty sweet.
Yes you probably have no idea what I'm on about.

don't need Yatzee to tell me this game isn't worth getting, you could see it all over the gameplay videos on Youtube before the game was even released... but it's still fun to hear him crap on an already crappy game
I had several bouts of Vertigo while attempting the jetpack dogfight sequences.
Fuck me, those sudden 180-degree turns only disorient me more and fighting in full 360 is a right *****, especially when the enemy has a near-constant lock-on on me and I'm struggling to find out from which direction the painful pointy things are coming from.
Hahaha, that was great.
Definitely going down as one of your best reviews as of late, hoping to see more disappointments to inspire such wondrous pieces of comedic venom in the future.
"Crispy fried puke down to the fucking bone barrow..."
Now that's gotta be the fucking metaphor of the entire history of the English language.
Loved how you could relate the game to one particularly gruesome death scene in Dead Space where you're forced to cheer for his unlikely, heroic effort to escape doom despite all the signs pointing to his tragic, imminent failure

It's because they replied before having seen the actual video. The rules are clear: bans and suspensions if you do it. It's an attention-grabbing thing that you'd think would have sorted itself out quickly. 60 Zero Punctuations later and it's still going ondietpeachsnapple said:
