But you're quite right, October is not the same as December. Hell, there's even a whole month between them. Anybody who confuses those two months should seek help, or at least buy a calender.
Although I don't actually give a shit about your comments (nothing personal, I don't give a shit about most things), I just wanted to "call you out" because I was bored. I didn't think you'd be bothered, but you are, so I should've left it there, but here I am. Bollocks, I'm such a dick on the internet sometimes.
Anyways, Merry Christmas!
Halo Wars was just shallow. It had an alright story but only delivered it through cutscenes, meaning playing was neither necessary nor fruitful. The gameplay on the other hand just had you tossing everyone at one thing till it fell down like Crabe and Goyle en masse.
Disappointing really.

Now while i totally am a fan of the RTS Genre i do feel he has it totally correct when it comes to console versions of them. the lack of a mouse is total shit for playing, Though i haven't tried plugging in my mouse to my 360 and seeing if they can work for these games, i am guessing it doesn't.
Though i do respectfully disagree when he makes the same statement about FPS games. i do think they work well on consoles.

the chinese zookeeper joke was one of the funniest things I have ever heard, and im glad Graham took a swing at the review becuase I enjoyed it.
this was the review my roomie showed me last year that introduced me to it all.
not a bad way to start off. certainly got a feel for what these reviews are all about.

I can't believe how many people on here are fanboying their gay love for Yahtzee; jeez. Graham did I great job taking over for the beginning. If anybody here watched the Unskippable a day before they'd know he was coming over to try it out. Both shows rock. Now pull your pants back up and leave your unwanted criticism off the forums.
P.S. I guarantee I'm totally being banned or suspended for this. *Sigh*

lol I just got Halo Wars, and seriously no joke I too ran out of time on that same mission
only I didn't quit (feeling rather amused hearing "We lost contact!!!"), and ironically instead I took the tip from Yahtzee and built twice as many tanks the second try and well...success =)
no really, on normal difficulty, I found that every time I had a problem it was because of one thing: I didn't build enough tanks
ergo the key to success: BUILD MORE TANKS

Wow 700 comments. I doubt anyone important will see this and I'm sure someone has already said something along these lines but I just had to comment on this. I'm a HUGE rts fan. I started back in the days of C&C when this type of game as a whole was still a relatively new idea and I can honestly say that escort missions need to die. Back then it was sort of par for the coarse but why do we still see this in rts games anymore? Escort easily killed non-important unit X from point A to point B and Y amount of time or you just loose? What a stupid idea. I mean, at least back in the days of C&C when you could instantly fry an entire legion of infantry with one flame blast, they'd at least give you an apc to put the guy in. These days you usually just have one or two guys on foot just legging for no other reason than because they're afraid to ride in a jeep. Can we at least get an escort mission where the guy is in a tank or something? At least then the dopey bastard won't get randomly picked off by some hidden stealth/sniper unit despite being walled in by tanks and other infantry.
Yahtzee always seems to nail the exact same thoughts I have when I'm angry at a game but where I fail to put my frustration in words, Yahtzee can do just that! Yahtzee is awesome!
