Reviewing a sports game was an unexpected move. I can honestly say that I never expected this.

That Imp must really spend a lot of time on games like this to get that many points.

Funny as always although I do have one complaint.

Why did you lump Christians in with white supremacists and child molesters? As an asian father it's rather insulting to have my religion placed in such company.
I don't think that was his intention at all. He was just pointing out the "themes" of 3 random games...

Yahtzee is a little confused. Skate 2 is pretty US Centric and thus from a country with NO free health care.

...which I guess goes to show exactly how retarded American skaters are.
Its funny because arguably the BEST skaters are from America.

What I don't get is why people whine about be insulted by the comedians THEY WATCH. If you don't like him, don't watch him, and really don't say you got offended by a comedian on his turf. The only reason it's okay for Yahtzee to be so offensive, even to specific groups, is because he doesn't hide the jokes when the joked about come around. If you can't tell a joke in one place, you can't tell it anywhere.

Too bad about those people who got banned, but as usual, a great five minutes of fun.

Random point I know, but that was a Fiat Punto... not a Bravo.

Yeah I'm a car geek but Yahtzee hardly ever mentions cars, so I might as well jump on his wrong words XD

Loved the Dune reference anyway :)

This one was pretty good, but in some points it was quite difficult to understand what he was saying (I mean even more difficult than usual). I've never understood the point of skating or games about it either.

Bad Yahtzee!
Go review some of the games anybody actually cares about. And please review them and don't just dissolve our ears in a bubble of babble next time

'Twas funny though. Even if i missed the intro and it lacked a review.

How about changing the forum system so it auto-bans posters during the first so many minutes as set by a moderator. Don't show the posts so there's no satisfaction. However, put the posts into a "review queue" and if they're legitimate posts, unban the posters and the comments post normally.

The review was "If your a skater/skater fanboy, you'll like it. If not, probably not"

How come whenever people comment, the first people who made the 3-7 comments always get probation or get banned?
It's usually because they respond before it was humanly possible for them to have watched the entire video. You'll see comments on a 5-minute long video a minute or two after people can start watching it. And sometimes you'll see the above combined with the usual "1st post!" comments and nothing else.

Just my take on the situation, though.

Yeah, the moderators here don't take kindly to that.

Anyway, this is one of the best reviews I have seen in awhile. Good show.

I actually thought this was one of the easiest control schemes in any game I've ever played. It's pretty common sense. Yeah just a few of the specific tricks are a little hard to nail with precise joystick movements, but everything else is spot on.
