This review felt a lot more like the original Yahtzee that I came to know in the earlier reviews. I actually laughed loud and hard, and I thoroughly enjoyed the subtle wit and satire and the critique of the game. I prefer this Yahtzee, not the angry, copious-vulgar-explicative-spewing gamer-nerd that he was morphing into. This is not to say I don't appreciate his jaded contempt for the current trend in games(I've been playing video games for 29 years and have become just as jaded if not more so), but launching into foul-mouthed spastic-spew mode does not really win people over, in my opinion.
So his ass gets to stay where it is...now I'm waiting for the review that makes him jam forks into his eyes.
wow, this is a good one, laughed though the whole thing, especially the t-shirt bit. Nice one yahtzee.
He said he would if he ever found a game as perfect as portal again. Im pritty certain this day isn't going to come any time soon.144 post=6.74729.844265 said:
I loved the end part, then again I've always loved your little in-game sketches. "Who are you?" "...Oh fuck off."
I hope he does I'd like to see how he'd bash that one into a whithering, BLOODY mess.Eipok Kruden post=6.74729.843972 said:I wonder if he's gonna do a review of Dead Space. That would be awesome. Great review as always though.
An OK review, knew that you were gonna do this, Yahtzee.
Fable II next week, eh? I bought it, and it's already not living up to all the hype, but what else is new?
Please murder this game for me. You've already murdered the original Fable and I thought it was a pretty good game. You'll have some fun putting together the Fable II review, I can tell from the game already.

ya fans are some of the crappiest things that can happen because if a company makes somthing incredably good in the first place then there is some stupid un written rule were they make more but can't make it better hence forth all the crummy bastards just wine about "it could have been better" yeah and everybody KNOWS that the sequals or prequals to somthing is always better than the first i mean who doesn't o thats right the shit for shat fans thats who god its like you feed a picky little ass the most amazing food ever and when it wants the same thing only better all you can come up with is pile of credible shit
Yo Yahtzee, I hope you watch X-Play, since your reviews used to be on that show, could you review; or I guess I could say "re-reveiw", some the games X-Play gives 5 out of 5 stars like Fable 2 and Dead Space. I know you said a complex opinion can't be explained numerically in the Mailbag Showdown of the SSBB review, but I still think those games deserve your attention.
lolz i loved the bit at the end ^-^
well they are a bit stupid
oh and incidentally i already have 2 ZP t-shirts, does that mean i have to buy another one? XD

Good stuff. I think you're dead on in your assessment of SH2, and, while I haven't played any of the series after 2, the fact that they seem to be shoehorning Pyramid Head into every game after it sounds pretty stupid to me.
I hate it how some franchise are milked for more money long after they've played themselves out (I'm looking at you, Nintendo). Every gaming company should have a placard in every office and cubicle reminding them of the great Fawlty Towers rule: "Quit while you're ahead. Always leave 'em wanting more." If not that, then at least leave well enough alone when all the loose ends have been tied up.

Knowing your love for survival horror...I really think you should review Dead Space. That game didn't necessarily REwork the way a survival horror is supposed to work...but it definetely will set a benchmark for what to expect from upcoming games. No HUD, bloody mess everywhere, smart creatures that don't run into your "survival combat knife" over and over again until they fall over? Yahtzee dont be a pessimistic douchebag about this. Will it make it to your upper echelon of gaming? Is it better than Portal? No sir. It's fun though, more than I can say about Silent Hill...
That's what happens when you give games to the Americans.
"Let's put loads of EXPLOSIONS in it!"
"No no, it's a survival horror"
"Yeah and let's put some hot babes in it!"
"...Ugh..."
(Apologies to Americans everywhere).
Great review, I'm quite disappointed your arse is intact.

Oh god. The Silent Hill bit at the end had me rolling. The whole review was pretty damn funny but expected. For once I agree with everything you said. The game wasn't great, but not terrible and didn't do any injustice.
Play Dead Space Yahtzee. Its a hell of a lot better than Homecoming. Scary, but not necessarily hard, it had good combat mixed with good horror.
