I want to play both games but my wallet has been recently drained on purchasing Tales of Graces and pre-ordering Darksiders II. I really dislike backtracking in games so I think I'll get I Am Alive first.

Wait, you still have Tonsils Yahtzee? Doesn't everyone get those remove when they're a kid?

Fez is pretty neat, too bad what one of the devs said blew up in the whole companies face.

You should check out Botanicula if you want a neat, "DA FUCK?" game.

Like these double whammy reviews, lets you get more bile out than your normal review.

They don't do that anymore. Nowadays you just take antibiotics for a few days and it clears up.

Gawd save Yahtzees tonsils.
OT: I wonder if he'll review The Journey.

Hell of a (non-gaming related) intro (and sprinkled throughout), I had no idea but now I have to rewatch last week's ZP.

8-Bit cum, it cannot be unseen! I much prefer *ZELDA SUCCESS SOUND* because my brain correctly makes that sound as if I told you this was Morgan Freeman writing and you read it in his cadence.

That said I am glad two games were done because I have no interest in FEZ but IAA was interesting in tone and concept and videos of it make my interest wain and now ol' Yahtzee has murdered it like his voice (apparently) in the last ZP.

I have kind of the same thing where I want a super realistic game thing and instead get a extra unrealistic videogame-y thing instead. I kind of enjoyed Disaster Report and this seems not even as cool as that. Nuts.

Funny critique as always though.

Fairly decent review considering the state of your tonsils. Don't want to go and play either, because the PC is where true indie gaming is at.

I was surprised you were so nice to Fez. It was an un-clever copy of many other better games and almost every puzzle can be solved by rotating the world. There are many games I would recommend, especially recent 'indie' ones over Fez.

And not a single shill for Jam. You'd think a review about post-apocalytic games would be the perfect place to shill a post- (or mid-) apocalyptic book. I don't know whether I'm proud or disappointed.

Seemed pretty straight forward to me. He was sick as hell last week. He hates Tom Cruise. He thought Fez was shit. He thought I Am Alive was shit.

I'm suprised that he didn't critize I Am Alive for abandoning its orginal story, surviving an earthquake in Chicago for six days for almost generic post-apocalyse world with dust clouds everywhere.

I was hoping that Fez would be put together with Super Meat Boy. I'm starting to doubt that Yatzee will ever get around to reviewing SMB after this chance was lost and he paid tribute in an Extra Punctuation.

Well, that tonsil business sounded terrible. Hope you feel better soon Yahtzee.

Good reviews. Shame you didn't enjoy them too much. Oh well. There's always next time.
