You guys know Yahtzee was joking when he called console users dirty peasants in his Witcher review right. There is nothing wrong with console games and there is really nothing about them that ruins PC gaming. PC games tend to have more complex controls but that doesn't make them any better than a console version. And yes, a current gen console is about the cost of a low end PC, but the power and lifespan of that console is much longer, that's the trade off.
I disagree, the console market is a "simplistic market" and can be easy to sale ....lesser than great titles and push them off as great, the PC market has more mature and critical members thus is harder to please thus harder to sale to when you make streamlined cash in products.


I am sorry there is a diffrance and its only been getting worse since gaming has gone console centric.

Not to mention at the end of the day PC games will have cheats in the form of trainers while not as great as cheat devices were its better than nothing to make a game a bit more playable.

I quite enjoy the witty humor. I imagined that Ben would look quite different; a hat with glasses and a sniper rifle not to say the least. His mustache makes him look very distinguished.

Where the hell is the cool hat that your "about the author" section talks about? I feel cheated.

Could be a fedora I have one and even wear it when I am feeling ballsy. ^^

The same thing can be said about you
Is that supposed to be insulting or in any way accurate? Because it's just lame. Not surprised since you evidently let others do your thinking for you.

Notice how the number of comments is declining? I imagine hits are going down as well. Guy plays a new game every week and then does the same schtick. Gets tiresome. So now he's made himself a left-winger darling by talking about the nonexistent 'racism' of having dark-skinned people in games set in predominantly dark-skinned territories, and the 'pro-American jingoism' of American-made military games. Liberals are so hilarious. Does 'Cooking Mama' cause obesity, Yahtzee?

See what happens when you get famous based on a gimmick?
I'm just saying you ***** alot for a person who seems to dislike his videos yet comes back and comments once and awhile, and possibly will be back next week to entertain us with another one of his "I hate yahtzee, omg he's a liberal fascist *salutes flag*" rants.

I don't think the numbers of comments are declineing, they all seem to get atleast above 100 comments, unfortuantly for you he still is popular.

He has a t.v spot on G4, he was invited to to make a video for GDC, got an invite to check out valve studios, his youtube videos have thousands of hits, and every week his videos get posted on popular gameing website's like Kotaku.

I understand you got "butthurt" when he made fun of the Americans but you need to grow up.

To those commenting on how young Yahtzee looks, get this: he's 24.

As a fellow writer who is both older (27) and an inferior scribe, that kind of depresses me.

I was a bit surprised when you switched to webcam, you've never done that before but It was cool. It kind of gave me the sense that we were in the same room and you were talking to me. Keep up the good work!

Yahtzee refers to Asians and Blacks and Latinos as minorities in this review.

That's pretty curious from a frame-of-reference point a view. Last time I checked world population figures Asians are not a minority on Earth.

But they are if you're a British born White Boy raised to think of them as minorities. And no, it is not "IRONIC" that you decry racism while depicting Asians as having slit eyes. The word is "HYPOCRITICAL".

Best review so far and getting better with all this new stuff you are adding to it.

BTW, where is your hat and why do you look different from that pic you had on the valve thing? (obviously that might be your room mate pretending to be you, no ofense.)^_^

Really one of the best reviews to date, you still manage to surprise. Thumbs up and hat off to you.



On another note, I can't help but notice how some comment authors have not been paying attention to previous editions of ZP.

"Now we have a face to paste on this awesomeness", "I imagined you to be a lot older, the voice make you sound around 35", "I had imagined yahtzee as older", "OMG Yatzee's pretty young and accually pretty hot", "Dude I thought you were, like, 50", "I thought he said portal was [perfect]", etc.

"Never let it be said that I am an impressionable twenty-something gaming media prick."

Hmm, let's see. A half-dozen or so new people who claim they "just registered now to tell Yahtzee how awesome he is" and another half-dozen first-time posters who attack Yahtzee's left-wing jibes, bash the console, and claim "this was the first ZP I haven't laughed at"... nope, nothing unusual here.

Pretty decent review. A few laughs. Not one of my favorites.
But it is nice to meet the face behind the voice behind the reviews.

You guys have the fourth wall wrong. Breaking the fourth wall is when a character directly addresses or acknowledges the presence of an audience, as opposed to not being aware of the audience at all. Like when Malcolm turns to the camera in Malcolm in the Middle. Yahtzee has always addressed us, the audience, so the fourth wall was broken from the very beginning.

This is not the first time Yahtzee has shown his face, there are pics of him on his visit to Valve.

As for the review, saying that Uncharted is racist is like saying Mass Effect has explicit sex scenes.
