Eternal Darkness? It certainly nails horror.
However, based on a reference to Beneath A Steel Sky and Tex Murphy, I'm guessing he is a fan of point-and-click 2d games. Perhaps the newer Sam and Max? It has some rub-everything-on-everything aspects, but the answers are always close enough that it doesn't seem like a complete ass-pull.
Also, LIBERAL CRIME SQUAD! It's sorta like Saints Row, only menu-based and feels a bit like a job at times. But, being put on trial for 467 counts of murder, 143 counts of terrorism, 58 counts of kidnapping, 20 counts of resisting arrest, 4 counts of vandalism, and disturbing the peace may be the most satisfying moment possible from a freeware text-based RPG.

I have a feeling he's not going to hate Silent Hill: Downpour as much as he disliked Homecoming and Origins.
Front Mission 4. Not that he'd necessarily 'love' it, but it is excellent turn-based strategy in the vein of Valkyria Chronicles, and provides the opportunity for him to tackle two subjects I've wanted to see addressed- accents in games and giant mechs.
Hunch my ass, you watched everyone of those reviews, the portal one being in orange box and the sands of time being in the prince of persia retrospective. You aren't nostradamus. I think yahtzee would enjoy that game he imagined in his fake duke nukem forever review. I also really think he'd enjoy armed and dangerous due to the fact that it has a gun that shoots motherfucking sharks. I wish I could make something like that up it shoots motherfucking sharks, it could only be more awesome if it also shot shurikens and lightning, had tits, and was on fire.MiracleOfSound said:
You really herped to the seventh ring of derp there in that little outburst... it was clearly a joke.Racecarlock said:

He hates murmorpuggers BUT I think he would enjoy levelling a rogue just purely by doing battlegrounds. It's like the most fun sneakiness ever. You get that same thrill of stealth games when you manage to for example; infiltrate warsong hold and kill a druid being guarded by a paladin through effective use of cooldowns or ninja the flag and be across the field before anyone has even moved. Also, no grinding kill 20 boars etc quests and no requirement to be online 24/7. I don't play WOW anymore but that's something I really enjoyed.
I would love to see him review Little King's Story on the Wii. It's a Pikmin style game me and a friend really enjoyed but its cutesiness would probably make Yahtzee implode with fury.
one i'd think he might enjoy, even with a ugly review he would be able to make of it, would be Amnesia: Dark descent. its a great survival horror game, has its flaws, but its a horror game where you are supposed to be stealthy or die horribly. yeah i think he would defently appreciate that.
Apparently someone doesn't listen too closely to them either. Dude, just cause he reviewed it doesn't mean he liked it. Yes I know he said he liked them when he was a kid, but when you're a game reviewer (a popular one at that) JRPG's (or any RPG's for that matter) are a subject that you would probably want to stay away from because they take the longest to play. And RPGs are essentially the same thing anyway: quests and leveling up. I'd say that only things that really separate a JRPG from a WRPG would be character design, plot twists, and graphics.mjc0961 said:
BTW, did you even read my last statement? I basically said that he's more likely to review big titles (or over-hyped ones) that are coming out and FF13 just happened to be one of them.
People who say Yahtzee hates games clearly haven't seen much of him, or read Extra Punctuation. He's a critic, not a reviewer. It's his job to nitpick and focus on the bad points. (And on that note, he has said he likes some JRPGs in one of his columns.)
I can't recommend many games, since my tastes are very different than his (I love JRPGs and hate shooters and horror), but I do know two games that I think would be to his taste: Pathologic and The Void. The former is an absolutely chilling psychological horror game, the latter is an artistic survival/resource management game. Articles about them:
Butchering Pathologic: Part 1, the Body [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/04/10/butchering-pathologic-part-1-the-body/]
Butchering Pathologic: Part 2, the Mind [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/04/11/butchering-pathologic-part-2-the-mind/]
