Painkiller
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Prototype
The World Ends with You
Batman and Prototype i thought were overrated and with the exception of JRPG's i always agreed with his opinion. TWEWY and Painkiller i had no idea about and bought them after watching his review.

Prototype, simply because of the weird womens dress thing with a unicorn he got both devs to do, even though they didn't win, the giant creepy feather-hoe looked funnier to me, so I went for prototype, oh and emo-peter pan 'think whiney thoughts' sealed the deal xD
Yes:
No More Heros
Saints Row 2
and (someday I will get)Sands of Time
Interesting sidenote: Movie Bob has sent me to a couple of movies that I had deemed 'crap' from the trailers. One of them was Sherlock Holmes, but I have forgotten the others. However, I am glad I went to all of them.

It never has affected my judgement, neither has anyone elses judgement affected mine. I bought a game cause i wanted to buy it, no matter what the mass says, because i know im different then the mass. (no seriously, i bought Avatar, and liked it. I dont watch anime, and i enjoy sandbox games over the general shooter, even though i'm epic at FPSs.)
And anyway, no matter how loyal you are to a game company/game, you can generally agree with what Yahtzee says.
It convinced me to try portal. Tragically,it doesn't work properly on my computer. Bah. no fun.
No review tells me what to buy. It merely tells me what's worth further investigation.
Anyone who only buys games based on reviews/scores are missing out on a ton of great under-the-radar material and are doing themselves a great disservice as a gamer.

Yahtzee no, though he did happen to respark my interest in the Orange Box. I've only ever bought one game due to a review, and that was Just Cause ala Morgan from LRR, needless to say, I was slightly amazed.
The guy's paid to rip the shit out of a game in a comedic fashion. I rarely take his reviews to heart because he says' that so many games today are bland, FPS games with locales filled with the colours grey and brown. I'll choose my own games, thank you very much.
i have not done it yet with yahtzee's reviews ( i find them more amusing than an actual opinion of what games i should get) but i know i have seen unskippable and seeing how they make fun of it i had the thought of buying borderlands. and the whole time i was watching the first cutscene i heard Graham and Paul in the back of my head making their silly jokes.
Ya know i really havent let yahtzee's opinion influence me that much when purchasing games. He is funny and his opinion is somewhat valuable but not as much as the opinion of my friends and fellow gamers.
