Zero Punctuation: Top 5 of 2010

[nitro27]

His top game was my top game for 2010! Cool!

 

[AWhite107]

nothing about mass effect 2? although he did say bioware games cease to impress him in his review...they are gonna be amazing. no need to reiterate it I guess

 

[ArianaUO321]

Did NOT see Just Cause 2 coming but... considering I've been playing it for hours already today without being the least bit bored, seeing that game pop up as #1 just made me squeal with happiness.

 

[lacktheknack]

I don't get why People like Amnesia. I couldn't find anything scary about it. It's just boring.

Elaborate?

OT: I totally saw Kane and Lynch coming. I didn't see Just Cause 2 coming, though, and it made me happy.

 

[lacktheknack]

I heard very little of Just Cause 2, it was huge for like a week or two, then seemed to disappear...

Everyone who raved about it got sucked into so deep they never came out again.

 

[Nouw]

Hilarious video, nice to see that list.

 

[lacktheknack]

I only saw a lets play of Amnesia through 1/4 of the game and it was pretty scary, but I was kind of disappointed that *SPOILER* the dog that he was running from could be killed so easily. That ruined my image of the rest of the game. Is it really that good?

There's one sequence in the Church Choir area that wins my award for "Most Hostile Atmosphere in a Game... EVER".

Seriously, it gets incredible at the end.

But... easily killed dog? That's Penumbra: Overture, from the makers of Amnesia. In Penumbra: Black Plague and Amnesia, you can't kill anything at all, let alone easily. You've been watching the wrong LP!

"Wah wah wah! Samus was changed! Wah wah wah!"

 

[Warforger]

I just noticed something....The Best and worst game came from the same publishers or developers or whatever i.e. Square Enix.

 

[rezaDN1992]

I am kinda surprised that he didn't but monster hunter tri in is top 5 worst. And I agree with kane and Lynch, but in his metroid review I can it becomes obvious that he did finish the game, so I think it shouldn't be second place.

 

[duchaked]

HAHA well played Yahtzee, well played

personally I would have thought Mass Effect 2 woulda been on there but your mind must've been on sandbox games (i.e. something you'd keep playing and/or actually remember after the entirety of 2010)

 

[harvz]

my jaw dropped when he said halo reach and then went through the floor and disturbed the downstairs neighbors when he said fable 3, i dont mind those games.

all and all very good (except just cause 2, it was good but not 1st), i did have to wear headphones though due to the background music and my hearing though.

 

[sshplur]

I usually don't watch these award/top 5 things because they're pretty boring but this one was actually pretty entertaining.

Also, return of the Fat Imps are awesome. I'd totally buy them plushies(?)

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I really thought he was serious when he said Halo:reach

 

[Count Igor]

I don't get why People like Amnesia. I couldn't find anything scary about it. It's just boring.

then you have never been scared by anything in life and have transcended to a level of consciousness free from human emotion.

This isn't me but it was exactly like watching myself in a terrifyingly accurate sort of parody

Thank you so much. That was a great video. I was laughing my head off.

 

[powergamer101]

Disagree w/ the list but that's per usual. Very appreciative of the Clockwork Orange music however and I applaud that idea.

 

[Carnagath]

Strongly disagree about Bioshock 2. While the first game was really inspired and a rare specimen in gaming because of its stellar writing, the sequel was infinitely more emotionally engaging and did not suffer from silly boss fights. Also the bit with the dual world through the eyes of the little sister was the most brilliant moment in the series so far.

As for the top 5, I'd definitely have either God Of War 3 or AC: Brotherhood instead of Just Cause but whatever.

 

[excessum ado]

Wow Bioshock 2 was in reality a more then decent game. Just because It wasnt as good as its predecessor doesnt mean it was one of the worst games of 2010. There were far worse titles that one could have much more rationally put in its place. Huge exaggeration and a big cock up on Yahtzee's part there.

 

[ziggy161]

I didn't play most of these games :/ Except Just Cause and Other M, and not for very long. It really HAS been a crappy year for gaming. Oh well, roll on 2011 xD

And yeah, the music was kinda distracting :/

I watched this yesterday night (I am going through the flu and collapsed before commenting) and I totally forgot what his 3rd Worst Game of the Year was. When I re-watched and saw it was "The Force Unleashed 2" I chuckled. It's a game so flimsy it even erases itself from the notion of people's minds.

I feel the lack of Mass Effect 2 on his Top 5 Best, but the inclusion of LIMBO and Dead Rising 2 make me forgive that instantly. Great Top 5/Bottom 5.
