I get what he's saying with twilight princess and sunshine being better than ocarina of time and super mario 64. They are more refined games with better graphics and gameplay elements. However, the reason that ocarina of time and super mario 64 are regarded as better games is due to the fact that when those games came out they were unlike anything else we'd ever seen. They changed things. They were new and different and from that model hundreds of other games were made. It's unfair to judge old games by the standards of today, you to take into account what it was like during the time that it was released.

Didn't think the review was the best, still made me chuckle that is until he said "I think Hitler was right" which made me fall off my chair with laughter (teach me for leaning back on it really).

At this point it's impossible not to notice that Yahtzee contradicts himself every week now. He hates long grinding JRPGs with dialogue but professes to love Earthbound. He hates Super Mario 64 and loves Mario Sunshine, and yet he bitched about Mario Sunshine being a pale copy of Mario 64 that Mario Galaxy did better. He bitches every week that games are too easy, then complains when looking at the older games he professes to love that were frustratingly hard.

Sorry, but the schtick is about dead. The guy's just trolling now - he ran out of material and the only way he can keep putting out a video every week is to just find something else to ***** about regardless of whether he was praising it the week before.

well yathzee u obviously haven't played fallout

cause that game still beats every other game anytime, that's made in this day and age! (except maybe team fortress 2)
I would disagree with this, mostly because I preferred Fallout 2 to its prequel, although the first was also good. Best game? Not so much.

Why do people hate on Wind Waker so much, was it the cel-shading?
i think so.
Well, that's depressing. Graphically it was stylish and a step in a new direction. Wouldn't say it was for the best, but it was still really nice. Did beautifully on the DS, as well.

What happened, man, your reviews suck. I could pull a better one out of my ass!
You'll have to excuse me for taking some liberties when correcting your grammar, but I tried to stay as true to content as I could.

That being said, this review was rather mundane when compared to some his others, but when referring just to the recent reviews, this one does a pretty clever job of staying on top of the game. Certainly still clever and entertaining, and worth the few minutes it took for me to watch it.

But, if you are persistent in trawling a superior review from your hind-quarters, I might make the suggestion of using spell-check, an editor, and a quick brushing up on your grammar [http://www.bartleby.com/141/].

Then, go ahead and post it up in the Review section [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/index/326]. Take your time, but I'll be waiting for it.

1st:- He said he like Earthbound because it was so different to most JRPG's with a funky storyline and all that.

2nd:- He said Sunshine was better than 64 not that he liked it.

3rd:- And yeah so what. Alot of people do that. I do it all the time.

the only reason everyone thinks Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are the best in the series is because they're the first 3D entries of the series; it's a very strange phenomenon, another good example is Final Fantasy VII, which is only really a mediocre entry.

i think megaman 9 is next in the extremely difficult, 2 button mashing, live system, retro gaming, nostalgia.

i think hitler was right too. he was demonised, just as arabs r demonised right now.

i want to play the german side of wwii games.

I actually beat ye olde bionic commando and was jazzed when I heard about this. I just kind of assumed they would get rid of lives without thinking about it. I am not a kid anymore and can't devote an entire 12 hour streak to playing a game

I liked the review, but respectfully disagree on your opinion of Bionic Commando: Rearmed. It did exactly what a remake should do: added a few new tricks, updated the graphics, but overall kept the gameplay the same. Also, loved the ending, because I agree with it. Well, except for the pro-Nazi statement, obviously.

It's funny that people don't notice that right away. First I thought that he is serious but the Hitler commment proved it as you said but in the credits he said that he doesn't think that Hitler was right so maybe he was serious (of course he wasn't) with Mario Sunshine and Zelda Twilight Princess. Well who cares?

I never played Bionic Commando when I was a child, but Retronauts made it sound cool so I got it. Mastering the controls took me all of 15 minutes so... The lives system however I agree with. Some levels are pretty fall-heavy (like the last level : /), and it was annoying to have to redo sections I had already mastered.

My biggest complaint is that it's too easy on Normal and too hard on Hard : /

I haven't played Castle Crashers, but those one-pixel-away swings are familiar to me ~~
