Agreed! I played the first game three times in like, a week but had to force myself to finish the second. The third? I think the characterization was still good. You didn't mention the Prince's hilarious inner dialogue with his alter ego.

Prince: "I should do something! (about those Babylonians perishing horribly under the rusty swords of sand monsters)"
Alter Prince: "Fall to your death! That'll be of GREAT use to them!"

You don't love the Alter Ego's sarcasm? It's awesome!!!

 

[seraphmaclay]

Yahtzee, you amazing bastard...why haven't you mentioned anything about the Spiderman series...Spiderman 2 was awesome, there was a reason I recognized it as soon as I saw it. Activision's first follow up after it, Ultimate Spider Man, wasn't bad either...but why haven't you brought up Spiderman 3, or Friend or Foe, or, even worse, Web of Shadows...hell, that last one was just last month.

Great review but I think that the prince of persia game's punishing difficulty brought them down a bit.

4 is spiderman 3 not resident evil 4

Sorry, it's Spider-Man 2, he said in his review of Web of Shadows how much he loved the game, plus, if you look close enough you can tell that it's the Spider-Man 2 cover.

Also, can anyone tell me which review it was when he said "I think Hitler was right!" (I know he doesn't really think so, but that line was so hilarious)

[theunreliablecritic]

i have played the two thrones and i have a few things to say about the game, YZ should have mentioned the terrible voice acting in it, but i love the sarcastic comments the inner voice makes every now and then while the prince talks about the stories and memories that he should forget about during combat and very confusing puzzles.

2.Silent Hill 2
3.Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
4.Spiderman 2
5.Fantasy World Dizzy

Hurray for disgust >> the 4th one took me a while...if it's right that is

 

[Cyberjester]

1) That Dizzy game on the Commodore
2) Portal
3) PoP SoT
4) Psychonauts
5) ummm... Trilby?

Silent Hill 2.

Painkiller's in there.

"It shoots shuriken's and lightening"
Portal and PoP: SoT of course.

The shuriken's and lightening bit was what got me playing the game. And it's as fun as it sounds.


Now.. I vote we hack the studio releasing the PoP film to make it awesome. For the lulz..

Also, are all the Yahtzee videos as funny with the volume muted as this one was?

 

[Sentient6]

I'm guessing Saints Row 2 has joined the Top Something list, since this review.
Also this review has convinced me to replay the Sands of Time trilogy.. After I swore I will NOT replay it for the fifth time...
