Yes Shattered Memories would be a good respite from these other games because it is certainly not God of War. However, having watched all of his Silent Hill reviews, I can pretty much picture a review of SM in my head. Just slower and with commas and periods.PrototypeC said:
Pretty angry review today eh?
My only question is how Bayonetta could be a God of War clone. Essentially it's Devil May Cry since Hideki Kamiya worked on both. Also, DMC came out in 2001 while GoW was released in... 2005? Just thought i'd voice my opinion. =]

I hate to be mean but the people making massive comparisons to God of War are fucking retarded. I love the GoW series but not to the point were I have become jaded over it's "originality".The majority of the game play elements are refined bits and pieces of a previous releases. Perhaps I am wrong but the game seems to take more inspiration from the "Zelda" series.
I knew this episode would be great from the first few seconds in! So glad he put Bayonetta, Darksiders, GOW3, and Dante's in a lineup. Been ranting for a while now myself about wtf is the deal with all these absurdly similar hack-n-slash games popping out at the same time?
Really hilarious how much Darksiders apparrently ripped off from OTHER games though.
I really can't wait for Yahtzee to do a review of Dante's Inferno, because sweet jesus, that game rips off GoW like no tomorrow. The spray-painting a stolen car analogy is even more fitting for Dante's.
Coral Reef on legs.... ehehehehe
I'd like Yahtzee to critique art direction on more games. Seems like an area that doesn't get much attention.
All that said, I've never been a fan of this genre of game so I probably would have never bothered with it anyways.

Bah I take offense saying Bayonetta is a god of war rip off.
It's devil may cry ripoff (by its original creator) with twice the guns, boobs, and chainsaws and with combat God of War can only wish to acheive.
With that said, I can't wait to hear Yahtzee rip into the story basically being a soft-core porno writen by hideo kojima

So, four games listed in the start, one is God of War, but only 1 of them is a God of War ripoff? All I see is Ninja Gaiden, Ocarina of Time, and two copies of God of War. Of course, only the one that isn't GoW will actually be good.
Besides, where are all the other games? MAG, Mass Effect 2, Dark Void, Syst- I mean- Bioshock 2, and Alien Vs Predator? All coming out within the same time-frame as the other games, or are already currently out as well. Maybe stretching AvP to fit it in.
Entertaining review as always though.

i take it that yathzee has never played legacy of kain before?
because that's what darksiders is, legacy of kain with a bit of zelda thrown in it.
also, i stopped watching when you said that war was angsty, you obviously didn't play any further than the first vulgrim encounter.
