Goddamn, Yahtzee really got his panties in a bunch over the fact that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the same gameplay concept as Super Mario Galaxy. I can see his point, but he treats the game like it's a total piece of crap as a result, which is entirely undeserved. It might not innovate in any way...

I remember that SimAnt could be beaten.

Bite me Rag. Yahtzee is not the ultimate standard regarding a game's quality. I have every right to disagree with his opinion and offer my two bits. I said that Spore pleased me, so what I say is based on my open opinion, what the hell do you want?

As far as expectations go, though, I think I have to agree with Yahtzee. Did anybody watch Spore's original revealing at GDC 2006? It was definitely a different beast back then, more substance, less charm. That's the game the gamers waited for, while during development the game seems to have...

I'm playing through Spore right now and while it's pretty simplistic, the creature creation is still fun and it still manages to be satisfying. It's a game that will please a great deal of people and Yahtzee is not at all among them, just like Brawl. Also, 16 seconds of no is too long for me...

I never played Too Human, or read any real reviews about it. All I know is that I work at a store that sells games, and after hearing tons of hype for Too Human, we got exactly one copy in on release date. So far, no one has come in looking to buy it.

I gotta think that any game that lets you win by spamming a single move, on any difficulty, is fucked. In any case, while I don't know if I agree with his diagnosis here, he certainly provides enough good arguments to make his position defensible.

Well feel free to express yourself clearly next time. Rage withdrawn. As for examples, I read about them here and there but never managed to hold onto any. Can anyone help me out?

Do you even know anything about the discussion at hand? Have you ever tried to go on the CAD forums and make even a single instance of constructive criticism? BANNED. The guy has no tolerance for anything besides words of absolute praise. Tell me what the bloody hell is mature about that?

And your single instance of mature behavior doesn't make him mature, especially when compared to years of acting like he does toward his detractors.

My first reflex is to say "go back to bed B^Uckley", but it's midday. Anyway let's talk about the rampant bigotry of this post. You love it when he rips on games he dislikes, but now when he attacks CAD you call it this? There was no tangible difference between this rip and what he usually...

This doesn't exactly make him mature. I think he wants to put on a facade of maturity in this way by not directly attacking his more popular detractors. But it's a well-known fact that anyone who criticizes his comic on his forums, even constructively, is lashed out at and often banned. He's not...

As a large crockpot of malice toward the bullshit masquerading as a webcomic that is CAD, I enjoyed the latter half of this review. The whole thing was pretty entertaining, though, and certainly rang of truth as far as gaming comics are concerned. As for Tim Buckley, he needs to forcibly...

Metal Gear Solid 4 has to be one of the most popular, and most attacked, video game series of all time, and while the review was amusing, I'm sad to say I heard every single ounce of it before. It read like a highly unoriginal laundry list of every grievance I've ever seen. Nothing particularly...

I have to say he's almost right on with this one. Certainly the story gets highly frustrating at times, when I want to yell blindingly obvious conclusions at the characters. The two-screen combat, though, I eventually ended up getting used to. While at the start it's absurdly unintuitive, by the...
