I think ZP is still pretty good, I look forward to checking it out at the apex of the weekly hill.
Like anyone who's been around a while, Yahtzee's stuff varies in quality.
I think part of the problem might be that to begin with Yahtzee more or less got to pick what he reviewed and as he constantly mentions he only gets to do what HE wants in between luls in the release schedule. Comments on things like "Super Smash Brother Brawl" and things like that have lead me to this conclusion a long time ago.
Truthfully "Siren" seems to be the first game in a long while that he wanted to review that hasn't been all that wonderful. I also notice his review coincided with a sale of the Siren series on PSN, so of course there might have been pressure from that direction as well.
It also comes down to the fact that the shock value is wearing off on long time viewers (we're becoming jaded to it) and also the fact that Yahtzee seems to be chilling out a lot probably because of the notoriety. Ultimatly the more over the top comments are recycled from other bits in many cases, I'd imagine because he can defend that by saying "hey I did that before anyone cared" and sort of grandfather clause it.
Just some thoughts.
I'm actually a bit more concerned that we're going to lose Yahtzee due to HIM being burned out which could also be a factor. I mean honestly, he gets thousands of views every week, and puts one of these out every week. I'd imagine after a while it stops being "just for fun" and becomes a job like any other.
