Funny this time and all around pretty true though I don't find shaking the controller tiresome though it can sometimes be unresponsive.

Camera? I've seen way worse but no camera is ever going to be perfect for the simple fact that the game can't read your mind to know exactly what you want.

Repetative plot? Ah, big deal! Once upon a time, action games had NO plot whatsoever because the people who play them don't give a damn about plot so little is lost here.

One thing though...

The guy is paid to give a negative review of a game.

This is the kind of thing that doesn't sit well with me. Anti-conformatism is just conformatism with a cheap coat of paint thrown over it.

To those that have mentioned it: stop bitching about Yahtzee's speech speed. Honestly, it doesn't matter, and such a complaint smacks of armchair shit-talking in a vain attempt to sound elitist and cool. It's HIS reviews, he can do them in whichever way he chooses.

I'm with you on that. For me Yahtzee's got a great voice and hearing him riff/comment on games in his reviews is great regardless of speed.

And just to add even though I'm all ready late on it: Good job Yahtzee on another funny and informative review! That final shot at the end of the credits is the funniest thing I've seen this week.

And I'd rather be a butthurt Nintendrone than a Halo player.

I'm soooooo happy for you. Fortunately for me I don't give a shit about that "console war" and I really don't care if you think that those who play Mario deserve go to heaven or they are better persons and those who play Halo deserve to be rape by giant grasshopers with Goebbels face (in hell obviously).

Anyway, in my case I guess I can be described as a Butthurt Nintendrone, Xbox-owner-who-fells-into-a-narcoleptic-coma-if-I-don't-kill-anything-in-45-seconds, and a Games-are-art-hippie (yes, Psyconauts is art). I prefer that sort of schizo bahaviour rather than clasify people in top of the others just for the games they play

i find that VERY insulting. the original halo is a great game and those who dont think so r dog cock-sucking fag-loving bastards (just like yahtzee)

Yes, story = rehash
However, graphics = good,
and gameplay = astronomical

Personally, I think Nintendo was smart to scrap any new storyline. It would just be a waste of effort.

I also didn't find much of a camera problem or wrist problems.

 

[u2rocksbaby]

It makes sense that you couldn't find anything wrong with a game as short as Portal, actually. A shorter game has lower expectations.

 

[u2rocksbaby]

Of course you'll criticize any full game.

I agree. I'm a bloody spaniard and it's not easy to cach all the jokes at first time (or second, or third,...), but anyway, I'm not going to tell him how to do his job.

btw sorry for the triple message. Is there any chance to delete them?(at least 2 of them XD)

I reckon you need to loosen up, stop being blinded by your fanboiness and take a look at the game.

Halo is not a great game, it is a fun game.

It's like super smash bros, Fun game? Definitely. Great game? No.

Halo was an better than average shooter, but certainly not incredible.

 

[KV2]

Mario + Flak Tower

 

[SomeBlackGuy]

And out come the wolves...

 

[mr.schwarzwald]

Ahhh, exquisite. Another brilliantly blended combination of humor, criticism, and bum rape.

Actually I really think the first Halo was a great game at least deserves a "9" in my own ranking and I don't give a 9 for free. Great graphics, a wonderful soundtrack and good story. Besides the constant get-in-pick/push-something-and-go-back maps I've played hundred times with all my friends and I didn't get bored.

But let's stop talking Halo here, there's a Halo 3 review for that XD

 

[Guardsman]

I got a chuckle out of it, so mission accomplished.

 

[Carol Pentalentathon]

Damn it Yahtzee, why is it that nearly every song you pick for the intro and end is or somehow becomes one of my guilty pleasure songs?

I ended up playing Super Mario Galaxy in the store, and I'd have to agree with you that the Wii controls are really awkward in this sort of game. Then again, it seems that the only controls I'm actually good at are the ones on the Game Boy etc and keyboard (fuck you all, I was a poor child), so that would explain things.

 

[Corbineau]

Hm, he didn't mention that the game seems to completely lack anti-aliasing, and thus the graphics look like fresh blocky shite.

Unless that's only on the HD-tvs they have at gamestop.

In which case, never mind. But still. I haven't bought the thing because it's been so painful to look at, whenever I see a demo.

(Heh, Josef Gobbels head on a giant mantis lulz ftw.)

 

[Poida12]

Great as always. Has anyone taken the time to pause at the blue spoiler alert screen which lasts for one frame? It's pretty funny. And sums up mario pretty well too. Looking forward to next week.
