I agree - it's why I love Yahtzee's reviews: he seems to notice many of the things that I notice in games, and thus his reviews are often a pretty good place to gauge how I'll feel about the game (even if/when I don't agree with the conclusion).

Okay, let me just set a baseline here: Actual comments (either well-reasoned, or mere expressions of opinion) are always valuable, even if they're about something like a webcast. Complaints (of the unfounded variety) and insults, not so much. I guess I just disagree, in that I think people...

Yeah, if you liked melee, you'll probably enjoy Brawl. Be forewarned though that Yahtzee's problems with the game were very "first glance" - once you've played the game a bit more (or if you're a fan of the series previously), you'll see a few more problems that he -didn't- point out that are...

Really? I've found that the Nunchuck+Wiimote setup is more or less equivalent to the GC controller (once I play around with customization a bit). I've heard the complaint a lot though - perhaps it's just me, and my preference for being able to rest my hands in a more natural position (thank...

Button-mashing isn't very effective in Brawl, no - not any more than a typical fighting game, anyways. To be fair though, the "button mashing" pointed at in the SSBB review was a general problem he had with fighting games. It's not usually a problem with people who know how to play the game...

I think what worries me most is that people actually sent emails to Yahtzee. I mean, what could they possibly hope to accomplish with that?

Wow, this thread got... long. Unnecessarily long. Honestly, the thing about Yahtzee's reviews is that they're usually accurate, even if you don't agree with his conclusions. And they're done in such a way that you really don't feel like agreeing or disagreeing is all that important...

While I love the Deus Ex style "where you're hit, counts" health system, and wish it would be implemented in more games, regenerating health is a good "gameplay" method, just because it keeps things moving along at a good pace, and allows the encounters to be more intense over longer periods...

While I understand the sentiment of the article, I've really had a different experience. I purchased my Wii the first month it was out, returned it (to make rent), then got another soon thereafter. It has never stopped being an absolute hit. Even at the start, with its dirge of games, Wii...
