Yes I can. The alphabet is full of vowels, if you ignore all the consonants. See?Thick said:
By agreeing with him that it sucked? and that Padme and Annakin were wooden. Yeah....No, I don't see what you're on about.
Haha great review Yahtzee, lots of laughs. I totally agree - the Star Wars franchise beyond the first 2 movies are pretty bollocks. Sure there may be some nuggets around, but the rest of the puke pretty much puts me off even looking at anything with Star Wars in the name lol.
Hurray, Zero Punctuation is reviewing games again. You had me worried after that New vegas debacle.
He liked PortalBrendondm said:
The Silent Hill series
He liked BioShock
He like Half-life (I think)
He likes the original Prince of Persia trilogy.
You know Yahtzee, you probably could have used your "like God of War but" stamp for this game. Same free-falling sequence, same QTE style, same ridiculously overpowered main protagonist (give or take a few emotions), same thing were you get very powerful after murdering enough girl-scouts and stealing their cookies for power and experience. If you ask me (which you probably won't) it isn't like God of War, it is God of War.
I never really got into any of the Star Wars games...maybe BattleFront if I'm in a good mood. But when my friend was showing me Unleashed 1...I instantly disliked it...Repetition is not a good game! Why can't they get this through their head. Don't make me go through the same thing twice with different scenery! Also, lol at death by banged shins.
I actually loved the first one until the story did the usual EU retconning. I mean seriously, it's fine making up stuff where you have none previously (like how the rebellion started) but don't change whats already been established. I have a few problems with the first game but playing wise it was kind of fun. It did make you feel like a Jedi some, and that was the point. I'll probably actually get the second one whenever I get my ps3 fixed.
I think I've worked out something in these forums: Regardless what the post was, the first two-three people who post on a Zero Punctuation thread get Probation. I would ask why, but then I'm always too lazy to be "F1RST P0ST" so it doesn't bother me.
Anyhow, I do hope that this is a sign of what's to come when "Star Wars: The Old Republic" finally comes out (though I can see that becoming an "Ignore on principle" game).

LucasArts used to produce great games (Dark Force, X-Wing Series through to X-Wing Alliance) and of course its adventure games (Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, Full Throttle).
Then ...something happened. Its like all the brains and creative talent just up and left.
KOTOR was great. KOTOR wasnt because, unfortunately, it was released unfinished since it was rushed out for some unknown reason.
That can also be seen with the movies.
The first three (well ...maybe not so much Return of the Jedi) were awesome and still are. Even the ...ugh ...super special awesome editions of them.
The prequels were awful. Absolutely awful.
I am a Star Wars fan. I read the books. I play the Star Wars RPG as well with mates. However - I am always more than happy to be critical of something which is just crap.
That's the difference between being a Star Wars fan ...and fanboy (or fanboi).
I did not buy Force Unleashed. I will not be buying Force Unleashed II.
Star Wars Galaxies was crap. I am, however, looking forward to playing The Old Republic MMORPG (Bioware - the makers of KOTOR - are doing it so that's reason enough).

I agree with "Jack and Calumon" the audio just wasn't up to the usual standard and it forced me to be annoyed all they way through, it wasn't until i watched it a second time i could actually appreciate the jokes.
I'm going to have a guess and say that Yatzee was a bit busy this week and had to rush the audio through but still a monkey with a kazoo would have sounded better even while being stabbed from behind by a midget with a measuring tape.

Nice one, love all these videos. I played the first for like an hour and couldn't get into it. I disagree with you on the clone wars movie though, if you get passed Anakin getting his new padawan and their random romance interest thing that looks like he'll kick Padme out, it's still awesome star wars junk... Who am I kidding? Jabba the Hutt jr.? His flamboyant uncle? T-T
The series on Cartoon Network isn't nearly as bad... And Battlefront 2 is one of my favorite games still! Episode 2 and 3 were good to imo, except the romance junk that ended up taking over most of the time.

I rather doubt him making the same mistake again, and he shows a PS3-controller when referring to it as a game as opposed to learning to operate heavy machinery.Not G. Ivingname said:
Anyway, I had a great laugh. I think Yahtzee's reviews where he lets the tsunami hatred flow freely offer the best entertainment.
