Zero Punctuation: Haze

I have to agree with him here. This game gave the PS3 bad rep. He should have done an MGS 4 review. Im curious to observe your disposition.
It's sort of like, if yahtzee actually likes and enjoys the entire game, you should go out an buy it, because it's so RARE for him to think that O_O
This sort of FPS's is one of the reasons I play RTS games more 
I don't think I have seen a fun FPS since UT 2004 and Battlefield 2and still play them and have fun with them. Jungles and soldiers, I played FarCry so pretty much can see how it newer games in jungle end.

Very true. Halo had the energy shield crap, Gears of War had ridiculous amount of gore and chainsaws, and Crysis is abnormally pretty.Prodigs said:
I guess they all can't be manly. Sorry Crysis.
nice review, have to say Haze is never i game i ever even concidered buying, and after your review that is even more true.
Yeah. I have to agree with him on this one. I was expecting a different experience when you switch sides ( noted on the back of the box!?!?!?), but if you just get a new wardrobe, this i just another crappy FPS that HAD potential, but the developers screwed it up.
Nice.
Nice.
I'm both surprised and slightly disappointed that on the review of a game named "Haze", Jimmy Hendrix's Purple Haze wasn't featured as opening or closing song.
The review was awesome though. I have to wonder, what's with developers and the idea of making your allies invincible? Kinda cuts down the atmosphere with a chainsaw when your allies just can't seem to die and you can basically use them for cover...

Honestly, this one seems phoned in a bit. I get the feeling that there really wasn't enough to talk about with this game, but he didn't have anything better that he could prepare in time.
Not that the content was low-quality, but there just wasn't enough. It was kind of a depressing realizations that 40% of the review's length was the 2-minute ad tagged onto the end, and not an additional comedic bit to make up for the extremely short and somewhat uninspired review.
On a different note, I find it kind of silly that so many of the comments are basically "This was good, I sure won't buy that game."
...He didn't really review the game, he commented on themes. Chances are the game is alright fun, probably worth renting/pirating, beating, and never playing it again.

Haze caught my eye thanks to the vivid yellow box art it came in...
Nice review. Thanks to that, I won't be rushing out to pay £300 for a machine to pay £45 to play it. I must admit, it mainly caught my interest because it seemed similar to Halo, which I still love to bits (not so much 2 and 3, though). But Yahtzee's right - they're all so damn samey these days that they might as well move onto a new genre and slaughter the hell out of that, too.

"First!"s and "Great review!" posts (especially ones made before they could have possibly watched the feature) are annoying, without merit, and basically considered spam. People that do that get banned. Makes sense to me.tooktook said:
The funniest one in a while. The 2d scenery in particular was blinding.
Can I also ask The Escapist to adjust their advert tagline to :
"New Videos All Week (unless Yahtzee is away accepting an award in which case we have some re-runs. Also no-one is here for any of the other videos because they're terrible but we'll advertise them anyway because their creators have less viewers than the World Gurning Championships)".
