This is actually one of the better reviews Yahtzee has done lately, because he talks about the games. Still a little too much whining about things he's already whined about alot and is too thick to accept (aka his stance on MOTION CONTROLS R BAD AND IF U DISAGREE UR WRONG TEHEE). Reminds me of the good old days when ZP made me laugh, rather then facepalm.
The iphone/mars thing sounds suspisiously like he thinks everyone should have one :/
I wouldn't tanke an iphone if it were the last piece of digital equpment on the face of the planet.. seriously, I'd do without.

I thoroughly enjoyed that one, and he's spot on regarding the state of the game development space on the iPhone. It doesn't matter what you think of Jobs, the iPhone or AT&T, there's some interesting stuff going on there. Sure, a lot of it ends up on the Android platform and elsewhere, but the fact that so many small gaming studios are able to tap into a revenue stream from iPhone customers is a huge, huge deal.
I probably spent the most time on Angry Birds than any game I've played on the iPhone, if nothing else because I absolutely loved the sound effects and some of the trickier later levels. I've not yet spent anywhere close to the sort of time on my iPhone games that I do with PC or console, and while I know the purpose of most iPhone games is a very quick get in and get out sort of gaming fix, there's no reason those games can't also have longer term play.

All of these games sound suspiciously similar to games I've played on Kongregate... where they were free, and didn't require an iPhone to play... must be my imagination.
Breathing on Mars is easy.
Avoiding the space tigers and wooing the hot princess betrothed to some other Martian berk is the real challenge.

Are you seriously acting all smart, because you're such a scumbag you stole from someone.wickes666 said:see, i have an iPod, so the whole mars question doesn't really apply to me. thank you middle upper class parents of kid who's iPod i took
I went to a rather enlightened school... we used to walk around in packs and put people like you in hospital... there's nothing better than seeing the look of gratitude in a someone's eye's as he looks at the smear that used to be the person who victimised him.
I wish adulthood worked that way.
Good one.
Agree with Yahtzee especially on the Cut The Rope easiness. Although a recent update had some pretty tough levels to it.
Now, for this post to be washed away in a sea of smug!

Plays like arse. Doesn't even look that good when compared to Infinity Blade.Wolfram01 said:
Been playing angry birds on my android for about 2 months now. It's great entertainment while I'm on the toilet. Looks like fruit ninja and cut the rope are also available.....and I too see the android logo everytime I see a yahtzee imp. Good thing his aren't green or Google might get all angry and suey and stuff.
Well then I better get my iPod touch and internet and tell them to make up and get connected so I can buy games. I have Angry Birds and that is fun. So Assassin's Creed Brotherhood next week maybe? Because I would've like to see Yahtzee rip on Medal of Honor and Fable III. Oh well, I now have an excuse to dust off my iPod.
You know, I only got an iPod touch and not an iPhone.......... SHIT I AM LIVING IN MARS! Oh wait, I can breath because I was forced to watch Naruto, Final Fantasy 12 and Twilight. ... Nice neighborhood I have.

I don't have an iPhone because I'm not a pretentious hipster and hate using phones. As an aside, these videos seem to get worse and worse every week. Maybe I'm just getting tired of hearing one of the aforementioned hipsters bitching about the smallest of things week after week.
