Man, over the past year The Escapist has gone from an occasional visit to main gaming-news source for me thanks to the abundance of interesting new content and fresh talent - and it just keeps coming! Keep up the great work, guys (and I absolutely love your reviews, Yahtzee).

Having watched the video (and the ones on YT) for a couple of times -- and laughing myself silly -- I felt compelled to register and heap praise. I've been writing games reviews for 20 years, but this one video just put everything I've ever written to shame. Kudos to you, Mr. Croshaw, and kudos to Escapist for signing your not inconsiderable talent. I shall be checking in on Wednesdays.

Good to see you're still doing the rounds there matey, and a great video (I also note your artistic ability hasn't failed you since the days of Rob Blanc!). Nice to see Australia hasn't taken your accent just yet.

Of course, the really important question is: have you actually played a game of Yahtzee yet, or do you still use the name without being fully educated in its meaning?

Good video! Yet, I think I'm going to ask for subtitiles... with zero punctuation. :D

His games are pretty damned fun too - if you like adventure games. Reminded me a lot of DOTT, and the classic Sierra stuff (Most of which I've played).

Hey look, another person who registered to say how awesome this is!

This really has to be one of the best game videos I've ever seen

Twing-Twang is a "game" that the "Parkinsons Kiss Cat Girl" plays in which she shoots her bow (crossbow) and wins by killing people.

I bought the game just to know what it is.....Though the motion sensing arrows/bolt/everything you can throw is awesome.

BTW, KICK ASS REVIEW. Keep them coming.

Heavenly Sword looks insanely stupid (almost as insane and as stupid as I am *duhurr*) in so many ways.
Unless the comment about lesbian cunnilingus is true...
What?
I have to admit, that I never got through RE:4, because I got so frustrated with the camera angle flaws and not being able to attack while moving. Seriously, WHAT THE F**K is up with that? It's like playing a carnival game except no stuffed monkey.

i dunno, if you actually spend some time trying to figure out the controls to the game it becomes quite fun. its alot like god of war, but with the appeal of a female lead.

Quite funny and very informative for the critically thoughtful gamer.

By the way: as much as I currently despise Capcom with their recent Resident Evil disasters, if they throw out a black comic relief character in Resident Evil 5 whilst taking place in Africa, I'm starting a strike.

This was a great review of the demo

PLEAAAAAAAAASE review the full game. Its got some really fun shit in it, especially that TWING TWANG which I thought at first would destroy the games fun factor completely.. but with a bit of practice its the dogs balls as Yahtzee would say.. I hope he agrees !

Shooting dudes in the arse, back, head, knackers, feet, legs with slow motion, motion sensor controlled explosion-from-flame-capable arrows is a hell of a lot of fun, especially when they react accordingly in glorious 3D !
