Of all the games you could have reviewed.... you better do dead space next week or i'll slit your wrists with a rusty penis.
Good review i laughed a good bit, entertaining as ever. Keep it up.

I can't believe he actually went for the 9/11 joke. Tasteless even by Yahtzee's standards, which might be why I found that joke so uproariously funny. Brilliant review, one that actually makes me want to buy the game, bugs and all, so I can (as Yahtzee so eloquently put it) fuck shit up.
I have always found just blowing shit away is the funnest thing you can do in these type of games that's why mercenaries always intrigued me, but just a little. The thing that mercenaries 2 didn't seem to exceed in was story, but apparently that's not the point of the game and was asking too much. i guess going into this kind of game i shouldn't expect as much from the story as i do from the actual gameplay. I hope it's worth the rent for the moderate praise that yahtzee gives so few games.
I totally LOLed at that scene.pierre61 said:I'll never be able to think of 'car jacking' in the same way again
Hahaha, Pokemon reference.
Another awesome video, offering relieving laughs after a long day at work.

Precisely my thoughts...
SR1 added innovations to the whole crime sandbox genre that made it better than GTA:SA, to which the GTA fanboys replied "Oh yeah? Well just wait until GTA4!!"
And then it arrived as a sort of really good version of GTA3...completely forgetting the awesomeness that was Vice City and San Andreas.
SR added an insanely simple yet perfectly functional garage system (No cramming cars into a garage or yellow box, just stick it in and the game SAVES it for use later, and if you blow it up, you just take it out again!)
It gave you the ability to replay any mission at any time you want after you'd completed it, something I was waiting for GTA to do ever since GTA3 when I had about 10 saved for all the missions I enjoyed doing.
Just overall SR stayed fun, while GTA4 had the gritty story and lifeless world full of meaningless distractions.

Was it the intent of this review to make me want to run out and buy this game? Prior to watching it I never realized I had such an interest in jumping out of helicopters onto old ladies.
funny, very funny. But seriously, review dead space there are some things in that game that scare the shit out of me. too much old lady bashing
I KNOW YAHTZEE WE NEED BETTER SAND BOXES BUT I WOULD THINK OF ONE WHERE SOMETIMES ITS OKAY TO DIE OR GET YOUR ASS KICKED CUASE THEN IT ADDS ON TO THE STORY
Have never played a Saints Row game, but some observations.
Why should ALL game makers either produce games based on fun or realism? I like GTA4 BECAUSE it feels like I am in a different world. One where I can do shit, and not get punished for it in real life. It does not feel like playing a game, but that is the point. It feels like virtual reality. It is not for everybody, but some like it. If Rockstar wants to make the most realistic game ever, GREAT! There will be others to make the cartoony type stuff as well.
Also, you all can think what you want, but in terms of sheer quality, not many games stack up to GTA4. What was that, Yahtzee? 'Games as art'?
