I actually think it sounds similar to his older reviews, back when he talked at a much slower pace.
I dont really care the difference in voice this week cause i happened to also enjoy the frist few reviews almost as equally as i have the more recent ones. To me its still sounds like zero punctuation. No big deal
Dont see where this italian accent conspiracy you have created came though. Perhaps you could explain your reasoning behind that?
I for one believe that if he was doing going to do another accent it be alot more over the top with stereo typical phrases added in (see the re-release of monkey island review haha)
