When the credits roll for his Oblivion review, Yahtzee mentions that he thought Morrowind was pretty good.
Uncharted 2
I've got to admit I was really trying not to have fun with Uncharted 2. It was the principle of the thing. I have this overpowering hatred for Uncharted 2's style of writing - that awful Hollywood, Josh Whedon-y style, full of dull-witted heroes and snarky heroines, all acting as nothing but mouthpieces for agonizingly smug 'wit'. But if I play through Uncharted 2 with the language switched to German or something I can concede the game combines beautiful environments with varied gameplay and a revelatory approach to action movie set pieces that actually involve the player without resorting to quick time events.

That's why it's not called "A list of good games based on Yahtzee's opinion", but games he didn't hate.TeeBs said:
He actually likes half the games he reviews he's just very critical. Some of my favorite games of all time I could criticize to all hell and back. I'm not saying he's a troll or making stuff up, I'm saying he's a critic and does his job well. Knowing the flaws of a game is more important to me than knowing whether somebody has a biased like of a game.
Take for example his review of Smash Bros, his review was completely, totally honest and truthful, the game is a clusterfuck, they sold the game on the basis of characters who were difficult unlockables. It's ridiculous the way so much of the game was done and it's definitely an acquired taste, my first 5 hours of the game were spent loathing it until I could realize what was going on onscreen. The fact of the matter is I like Smash Bros but I can honestly say Yahtzees critical review was completely truthful and the points he made were fair and honest. People seem to think when somebody has a lot to criticize about a game that they hate it, to be honest most people can get past these criticisms, the point of reading a critical review is weighing up the bad and deciding if the game is for you. But the reviewer doesn't necessarily hate the game.
He did however hate Smash Bros, but most games he does like.
