SO! It was hyperspeed hype crushing this week, eh?
I really do agree with you in final fantasy and last guardian fronts, but Assassins Creed II and Silent hill aren't something you should be pessimistic about.
Also, WTF was that s*it all about?

Funny... as I was nuking my lunch I was thinking about what game Yahtzee could be reviewing and thought, "I wonder if he's going to do another one of those E3 run throughs."

I also didn't find much to be excited about from E3, or at least nothing that I wasn't already looking forward to beforehand. Quite amusing as always.

I swear, he really feels the need to come up with more off the wall jokes (i.e. the throat gargling) to keep it fresh, doesn't he?

He said that Silent Hill was intriguing to him, but keeping with his theme, he didn't want to get his hopes up so that he couldn't be disappointed in it if it ended up sucking.

People = Shit

That pretty much sums up the people that go to E3
That is such a good song, imo.

Anyway, you seemed a bit happier than normal. The mockery of the theme at the end with the throat noises was pretty amusing.

"Why does Sonic need a car?
Or for that matter why does he need to exist?"


I loved that part. :)

Yet another year of sequels, terrible ideas and franchise milking

Who needs originality anyway?

Thoroughly enjoyed this review though, did have me laughing to myself quite a lot

That gargling noise was gaaaaah; it made my throat hurt just thinking about trying it.

And the new Silent Hill game actually, from what I saw of it before, looks to be really cool. I can't wait for when it comes out, just for Yahtzee's review.

Safe to say that E3's Yahtzee's field day in the gaming industry. Well, I'd say it would be. Is it wrong for me to look forward to E3 for the sole purpose of watching Yahtzee rip the industry a new one?

huh still i cant understand what the hell the videogame industrial corperations want to
acomplish whit motion sensors.
sensors i mean it was fun the first three seconds of gameplay on the wii but then you was satisfied and now everybody else rips of nintendo i mean look at the games of yesterday
they where fun to play even whit friends! and now look at the games of the future sure we will
have the unknown winners but the rest will be high grafical weird shit i mean it was basic and fun ideas that made scoobydo the night of a 100 frights(aka the best game ever!)
but now it all have to be wery complicated and realy good graphics wait now i got away from the subject all i say is that video gam is entering a dark and weird era so have fun whit the old games.

I think this may well have been the best one in over a year. i mean look at me, I'm even commenting.

You pretty much nailed all my negative views of the whole thing, but I'm still inevitably going to buy Halo Reach & Metal Gear Solid Rising like the shit crowd dweller I am.

I'm not interested in E3, but that was some fine butchering again.

I've known his games to bore me to death but never before they've been released.
As for the games, most of them didn't seem that impressive to me, though I'm actually interested in the new Zelda, the new Assassin's Creed and a couple others displayed there as well.

I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of Left 4 Dead 2, or the current fallout from that announcement. Considering L4D received a more positive review, perhaps it would have broken the consistency and mission of a "hype massacre", but still seems worth noting.

Oh yea, and no mention of "Quick-time Events: The Game" aka Heavy Rain? Thought that would be #1 on your list.

Fan-friggin-tastic! But what about Scribblenauts? I thought you would dig that. Everyone was shouting about it being best in show.
