If you've spent more then five years on a game.. When you release it there should be a law that it has to be a perfect game.. Or you're locked in the stockades with your rear sticking out to the public so they can take turns kicking you in the balls for wasting time you could have been spending making a good game.

HAHAH oh man it's both awful and hilarious to think of Yahtzee playing pokemon, but hey... Pokemon Platinum is coming out soon and then there will be an English version around the corner..lukey94 post=6.71155.715498 said:also id like to see a pokemon review
Again, I can't venture much of an opinion rather than finding Yahtzee's humour brilliant as I do not own a next-generation console. However, it's nice to see Painkiller get another nod.
Had to watch the video on my laptop since Firefox crashes on my desktop for no particular reason. And I'm not even using Vista.
EDIT: When Our Hero is lacerating his gums on the end of a rusty tin... is he hopping on the express line to Jokertown, apt to run into church after church asking so-called "Christians" why they're so serious?

Loved the review but at the same time its a shame cos the game did look promising on paper. Im a huge survival/rush game fan and have played Serious Sam1 and 2 and Painkiller. They are fantastic fun and Too Human looked to be another. Owell having Yahtzee shit all over it makes it bitter sweet. (ED2 ne1?)
As for the adds not to be nit picky but ye a bit too much. Now i dont mind the WAR add so much cos i mean its pretty cool. But although i do have a rather large download cap per month but put enough adds onto everything and it adds up,and with no way to stop/cancel it. Advertising is money but maybe a 30sec add instead of 5mins? Just a thought

Haha, love it wen a really shit game comes out. Means its going to be a great ZP. Hope you murder Spore next week Yahtzee. The Creature Creator is fun, but thats it. Its such a shame and you killing it with a hammer mad of wank would really make me feel better.
That's weird, I'm using Opera and it worked fine for me.Mark B post=6.71155.715314 said:Also not working in Opera.
I haven't even heard of this game prior to this review. Thank you for bringing it to my attention so I can put it on the list of games I'll never play.
I'm not familiar with the game, but it was a fun review nonetheless. He smashed the came, but did so with apparently genuine content. The problem arises when Ben is so eager to criticize a game (apparently to please the bloodlust of his viewers) he does so at the expense of reviewing context objectively. Ben went overboard with Age of Conan and Oblivion, games that have valid criticisms but did not earn the utter smashing than Ben lavished on them. There's an awful temptation to do this with Spore.
Insightful reviewing beats humor every time. Without good analysis of the games Ben is just another cranky hack. With good analysis he's one of the best reviewers the internet has to offer.

There's a funny thing that happens with "cult-of-personality" reviewers like Yahtzee.
Even if they say "this is a steaming pile of offal that I wouldn't keep in a sani-can let alone my home, a loved one's home, or even the home of someone who, let's say, made Daikatana (ha ha)" some people are going to buy it, if nothing else to share the terrible experience of the reviewer who they so desperately desire to be.
Edit -- has anyone noticed that preview doesn't work? Is it firefox? Good thing that edit does.
Me, I'm hoping to find the time to neglect my children in favor of trying the trial of Eve Online, because I am actually something of a nerd, and I play space shooters in the hope that they will be Escape Velocity Override or Privateer again.

The really sad thing? We were hearing bad word about this game TWO YEARS AGO:
