Interesting. Definitely unexpected, but really there isn't much out there to review. I doubt he's going to review ODST, because if he didn't like Halo 3, there's little reason to believe that he'd like or even be impartial towards ODST.
Well this is one obscure game, but the idea is certainly promising. Too bad it wasn't as awesome as it could have been.
Although the review was still great. I cracked up at the Christian Bale part.

Am I the only person here who had a rich friend that owned a Virtural Boy, and by extension gets the joke? I mean yeah, at least Nintendo covered their asses with "Play in moderation" at the begining of a game, but be realistic. No kid is going to take a break every 10-20 min when they have a game in "real" 3-D.
Seriously though, Tetris was neat on it.

Oooh i've never sent an email reccomending a game to reveiw in my life but the first time i do it get's done. I know I had 0 influence on the decision but i'm just glad he did this one
theres also a little pompeii thrown in, but yeah it's pretty much what he saidJ-Alfred said:
The game is a joke people. I've played the demo and it was bad, very bad. The graphics were shitty, the enemies could spot you through a dense corn field from 300yds away, the A.I. is so thick that other enemy soldiers don't notice you even as you murder their friends who are standing right next to them, and the game is filled with glitches and bugs and slowed down when things got busy. I'm surprised that Yahtzee didn't tear this game apart; X-Play certainly did, 1 out of 5.
I got pulled into this game by the interesting sounding story, too... found myself underwhelmed but I still wistfully hope for a decent sequel.
Good video, Yahtzee.

Really puzzling behaviour..And it happens with every episode.johnman said:
OT: Didn't like this review much. Maybe it's just my mood.
that was fun, I mean who doesn't like the idea of Time travel?
Kind of reminds me of an old 90's game where you where a time traveler and your two pieces of equipment where a time machine and a device that allowed you to copy anyone's appearance perfectly, and then you went around solving puzzles. The first mission was you had to make and bake clay pots and then put writing on the bottom for some reason. So you had to copy the Potter's appearance. but if they came back and caught you your disguise obviously failed.
Its just to bad I can't think of the title of said game.

i actually liked this game. its not without issues though.
im a little surprised to see Yahtzee review this though. its been reviewed much more ruthlessly by other people. kinda seems like Yahtzee its following the crowd. i cant think of one issue he had with the game that hasnt been pointed out before. i would at least hoped he brought something new to the table... i dont care if hes mean on the game. in fact thats normally why i watch him. i do care if hes just copy-pasting what reviewers are saying.

From what I've seen in the trailer, mowing down Romain soldiers with machine gun would be a hoot. I could pretend I'm Jesus out for revenge. And this time it's personal.
Another unexpected review. I was looking forward to see Yahtzee bash this game (which he btw actually did) since it looked so horrible in GT:s review. But hey, it's on... oooh wait, it's just on the 360 and Steam. I heard that the developers didn't want it to be a shelf release.
Really? Everything I've seen/read/heard/thedemoiveplayed all point to the fact that this is a terrible game. The premise isn't even all that original when you consider time travel has been used again and again in games.
I don't see how you could find something like this monstrosity of a game remotely ok, yet bash shooters that are much better. Meh to each his own I guess.

No, it's a full $50 game. It isn't an arcade title...which makes it's crappyness even worse.bartholen said:
