He doesn't do cheap Flash games.

OP: Sonic Chronicles. Just TRY and find a legitimate reason to hate the game, I DARE you. (and no, the fact it's a Sonic game is NOT a legitimate reason to hate it, or any Sonic game that isn't Sonic Labyrinth and Sonic '06)
The game was short, and the New Game+ was beyond lackluster. The fighting mechanic was touch-screen quick-time events. The plot was once again an 'epic' Sonic tale. Oh and the open-world Puzzles were terrible. The final boss was a quick-time event through and through. The only good things about that game was the dialogue and the fact database or whatever it was called, which had references to old Sonic Games that SEGAhad clearly forgotten about.

Anyway, as for the OT: Borderlands, World of Warcraft, Fantasy World Dizzy and Sports. In general.

1. It's a DS game, of course it isn't going to be a 10-hour-long game.
2. So are most New Game Plus'. It comes with being able to kill everything in one hit.
3. Pray tell, what would YOU have the fighting mechanic do? It's a perfect use of the DS' Touch Screen technology.
4. Indeed it was epic. No need for the satirical quotes, we all know the story was awesome (unless you're an anti-Sonic dumbass or a "real gamer" that only listens to biased reviews).
5. Gee, ya think? Again, perfect use the touch screen, and the final battle was FUCKING AWESOME (unless you're an aforementioned anti-Sonic dumbass or a "real gamer").

No good reasons to hate the game yet. Silly Fan Dumb.
I'm not an anti-Sonic person, because I hold one of Sonic's delves into 3D, Sonic Adventure 2, to be my personal favourite game of all time. It is because of this that I have high standards for Sonic, and recently I have simply stopped buying his games. Sonic Chronicles might be the last one I ever buy.
1) Just because it is on the DS, doesn't mean I expect it to be short. My Pokemon Pearl has over 600+ hours clocked on it. I've played for longer than 20 hours with iPhone games. iPhone games! Indie games! Games that cost £1.20, and have a poor development team. Sonic Chronicles took six hours to complete.
2) I'd expect something more from New Game+, like the creatures level to give you a challenge the second time round.
3) I would just have standard TBS Combat. No need for those QTEs at all.
4) The story wasn't epic really. It stood up as a plot, but it doesn't suit Sonic somehow. Most of these epic stories don't suit Sonic. I regard my beloved SA2's plot to be too complex and emotional and blah blah for Sonic. Sonic Heroes had the kind of plot I'd expect. Oh and the game ends on a cliffhanger, and the sort that will probably never be resolved either.
5) Was it really awesome? I don't remember it being that standout at all.

Champions Online. I think he's gotten off easy the past couple weeks by having some really easily written off games with lots of stuff to gripe about. We should demand he suffer through an MMO for his art.

I wouldn't mind seeing a review of one of the Jak and Daxter games, the 2nd one would be the most interesting. Just to see if he thinks all Naughty Dog games are boring or just Uncharted.

1. You're comparing apples and oranges here. Pokémon is DESIGNED to be played for hours. They can get away with having thousands of characters that you have to run around finding and training. SC can't do that: Each character isn't some pet. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, and most of them are needed for the plot. As for Indie games: So your spend days looking at a small-ass screen playing a cheap game that probably doesn't measure up to mainstream games? Really? Besides, Indie games don't have release dates and hype they have to contend with.
2. But then what do you actually GET from that? You get no bonus' going through the game again, except maybe the Chao Collection sidequest and finding Cream and Omega.
3. Yes, there is. This isn't some boring-ass, generic RPG where you just choose a powerful attack and let it go. You have to make sure it actually works. As well, what other use is there for the touch screen?
4. So you're saying you DIDN'T jump out of your seat (metaphorically) when the prologue informed you of Eggman's death? You're either lieing, or not a Sonic fan.
5. Super Sonic vs. a super-powered Ix, where screwing up can lead to Super Sonic dieing (as in actually, not "depowered", actually KILLED). In the confines of the story (and the Sonic series itself) it was epic. At least it wasn't some dude with a gigantic penis extension of the sword stabbing 5000 guys at once.
I've got to say that this is a quite indulging argument we have going on here.

1) Well it is true that Pokemon is designed to be played for hours, but I still expect more of a Bioware RPG. And as for the Indie games - my point is that these small development teams can still create bigger (and sometimes better) games than Sonic Chronicles, which should not be allowed to happen.
2) Well you get nothing from the New Game+ as it is, whereas if everything was tuned up a notch, it would have been a more fun and challenging way to get replay value from the game. They could have thrown in a little reward at the end (very powerful Chao, new ability, new character (well that would have been a big reward, really)).
3) Just because it is a DS game doesn't mean it needs a Touch Screen gimmick.
4) Nope, because Eggman has been in it since the start and they wouldn't kill him off in a DS game created by a 3rd Party Developer. That was more common sense than anything. I knew he would pop back up later. Anything to say about the cliffhanger anyway?
5) Well the actual placement and circumstances of the encounter are better than most Sonic games nowadays, however the battle takes place in the usual setup, which it didn't have to at all because it was all a quicktime event. They might as well have made it a more interesting cutscene. The presentation was lacking, and so it conveyed little to no sense of awe.

Edited due to wall of text.

Tekken 6. Though I'll assure two things.

1) He won't understand the game.
2) He will HATE Azazel and Scenario Campaign.

Well, I know it's unlikely Yahtzee would go and review just any games people want him to, but I don't see anything wrong with saying what you'd want, you know?

Any of the Castlevania games. Lords of Shadow would probably be the best bet.

I'd hate to throw my favorite series under the bus, but if anyone can give light to its current stagnation, it's that charismatic stallion Yahtzee.

I love sonic adventure 2
OP: dizzy land adventure for the Commador 64, see if his love holds up under the review's butcher knife

The Saboteur. I'd like to see how he'll mock the accents.

Also, if he doesn't do Mass Effect 2 on February 3rd, I'm going to feed him to a kangaroo.
Ironically enough "The Saboteur" review is today lol
