Zero Punctuation

Orange Box I totally agree with, Pyschonauts is spot on, Console Rundown sums up my views, and Guitar Hero III review is true.

 

[Rheinmetall]

I had played manhunt way before seeing the review and it truly hits the target. He is also informative enough so you can make your own conclusions based on the reviews.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Didn't Sid Meier put his name on the game to inform people it was different from some other game? like a board game or something?

I thought they made a board game out of Civ3 recently. Don't know if it caught on, though.

He offers a unique review, very entertaining, and despite working under contract (so it seems), gives us proles a fairly unbiased insight into popular titles. He certainly confirmed my suspicions about Halo.

 

[Harbringer]

His newest review kinda sucked.........

 

[puglover]

I agree. The Silent Hill review wasn't nearly as funny as earlier ones. Also the closing joke was rather bland. Though I might just be comparing to the absolutely awesome "barbed wire" joke from Guitar Hero 3's review.

*sigh*
*waits six days*

This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee roleplays a pale, lanky misogynist.

Definitely not his best, but still pretty funny. And with a very wierd ending. Worth a looksie!

I didn't get a manual with The Witcher demo but I think I'm doing better at the game then he is. Although I havn't tried alchemy yet. I don't entirely agree with him, as I am definately going to buy and enjoy The Witcher, although the combat is a bit MMO like (click and attack, although I wonder if he knows about that when the mouse pointer turns to a flaming sword you click again to continue the attack moves).

You should all totally play Yahtzee's games, especially the funny ones (Rob Blanc, Odysseus Kent, and the third 1213 with its secret ending).

Then read his webcomics.

Then read his articles.

Then laugh.

id reccomend the Defoe series, they are adventure games that were quite fun (and difficult in some places)

they are in order: 5 days a stranger, 7 days a skeptic, trilby's notes, and 6 days a sacrafice.

Spoiler :

be sure to play them in the order i gave or they wont make much sense.

Spoiler :

there is some 16-bit nudity in the last one but its a very small part of the game.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

He did do Call of Duty 4 after all. He loved it.

One of the best ones yet IMHO.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Call of Duty 4 is great. And yeah, using grenades to force your squad to advance is useful.

 

[Maniacal]

Hmm, I'll have to try using granades until someone makes a mod which reduces the almost instant respawning of enemies!

I guess this review sort of makes up for his (IMNSVHO) poor review of The Witcher.

 

[Kozmos]

His reviews are almost spot on of what I think of many games.

 

[Maniacal]

His reviews are almost spot on of what I think of many games.

Including The Witcher? I watch his reviews for comedic value, while they are usualy coincidentaly decent reviews of the product, I don't think he likes RPGs.

Demo located here; I plan on buying it soon.

[Say_my_name]

Yeah, his review on "The Witcher" was bad. I really don't get why he is so upset about Alchemy and the interface. The running around in the bigger areas is annoying though, but I really had many hours of fun.

 

[sirtommygunn]

he just hates mmorpgs i guess

 

[Maniacal]

It's not an MMO. Although unfortunately the combat is a bit MMO like.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

The newest one is good. I loled at 1:52.

 

[Maniacal]

ROFL! The end bit abotu TF2 is hilarious! A bit sad too, and I feel a bit cheated that there was no scene of heavy beating the living crap out of spy.

This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee sheds a single emo tear for his gigantic sword in Devil May Cry 4.


I've only played the DMC4 demo, but as far as that went, this review is spot on!
