Zero Punctuation: F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

Yahtzee did seem a bit tired this week and it seemed a bit flat (also the game seemed to be completely boring and sometimes a game is so bad, one can't even do a proper ranty review). Completely understandable after flying back and forth over the Pacific. At least he didn't crash his car like I did after I did the same thing.
Looking forward to his more lively ranty usual self next week.

Like I said earlier. He seemed a bit off this week. I think it's good that he used this week to review a lesser game that no one cares about (and I had never even heard of) and get back to doing the big-name games next week.alter Egon said:
BTW, I just watched the AoT review. Awesome. That guy needs to do 5DaS and 7DaS
Now I have to create a game that takes place completely beneath a gigantic lime, just to see what would happen.
Was an unexpected game this week, still pretty good but needs more anger!
Also the AoT review started here if you're interested.

Personally I thought it was a great parody, not something I'd set someone on fire for but for what it was I thought it was pretty funny.

P.Oh well, helps keep the game more casual. Anyway is annoying having to lose all your lifes everytime you play again so this aspect helps...Boricua_bob said:
One thing that annoyed me with Super mario galaxy is how if you fall into lava you lose 1 lil bit of health and you fall into sand.. you die.. what is going on there? I thought games always tought us to be able to jump out of sand and let lava be the insta death..

Hypocrasy. I am disappointed, Yahtzee.
You spend all week saying nasty things about other people's games, and then get all defensive and annoyed when someone tries to criticise your own work, and it really isn't good enough.
Awesome review, though, as always.

I think the whole explanation for the bullet time in the game was that said faceless protagonist was "off the charts" concerning his reflexes, said sometime in the intro scene of the original game.
I never finished the original game. I kind of got bored of the same environments over and over. "Oh, boy, another abandoned office building! More apartments! Let's go through 5 dozen levels of parking garage, and yes, there will be 2 clones behind the left-side cover and 1 behind the crate to the right, and one waiting to jump you just around the corner." Plus there was never really a reason to use your melee except the once where the tutorial said or if you were out of ammo (which never happened), so one of the more exciting points of combat got completely left out.
