I think he made that excuse some time ago.... which game was it?

 

[unacomn]

There wasn't a second game, but there was a TV movie, that honestly didn't really explain much of what's happening in Armageddon. Although, it's possibly one of the best game inspired movies ever made, it's non-sucking factor is surprisingly high.

Armageddon's story still gives me nightmares, it's like the people who wrote it just thew ideas up against a wall and put in what stuck.

So... photons can magically rewind time to fix things now? How you may ask? SCIENCE!

 

[Ne1butme]

Finally, a Leisure Suit Larry reference that actually works. But now i'm sad when i have to think of what happened to my poor Larry.

I miss Al.

Thanks Yahtzee.

Guess I'll have to give this game a miss, then, not that I was ever interested in it.

I can see destroying things loses its novelty when you can just repair it in the blink of an eye.

 

[Misho-]

I might get it when it's pretty cheap. At least Yahtzee closed his Conan Revenge Cycle.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Yet another example that I shouldn't get my hopes up for a game to exceed my expectations. Also I somehow missed the fact this game even came out. Though since I don't buy games until they lose that hefty price tag, it isn't really too important.

 

[SuperShadowAce]

At least THQ is redeeming themselves with the amount of money thrown at Saints Row 3.

 

[Trikeen]

I was very pleased by the Larry 4 reference

 

[SuperShadowAce]

At least THQ is redeeming themselves with the amount of money they're throwing at Saints Row 3.

Of COURSE! Don't you know anything about SCIENCE?

This game sounds bad. Really bad.

 

[Sylveria]

I remember seeing the commercials for this and thinking "Wait... wasn't Red Faction about some dude fighting against the oppressive martian government cause they killed his brother.. why the hell is he fighting space monsters now?

But hey, a boring, half-made, linear shooter where you fight space bugs. Glad we've never seen that before.

 

[Juan Regular]

Man, this game sounds boring beyond belief. Like they simply removed the few fun things in Guerilla.

 

[Daemonate]

Why do people want him to review Human Revolution?

He'll probably play it on a console, find it's average coz it's a fucking console edition of a pc game, and not realise that's why it's average, dump on it and not be really funny coz he's too busy being wrong.

Let him pick games we don't already know are amazing, to hit on.

 

[team star pug]

A high Quality episode, keep it up!

 

[Cat of Doom]

Have THQ ever published a good game?

 

[Sylveria]
