oh dear...i can see the similarity, but that was not nearly as good as Yahtzee. (i may be a bit byiast as i cant stand microsoft sam voice)
Mehh....Yahtzee is better at it, I hate those computer voice programs
In all honesty though its not that much of a surprise, there have been Cynical reviews for games out on the net for a long time, Yahtzee is just getting a lot of attention for it now thats all. In fact that why I'm afraid of writing a review in the user-review section cause I tend to throw humor and sarcasm in my reviews and it may come off as "Yahtzee-esque" to some

That shouldn't stop you from writing your own reviews. I was thinking of starting to do a couple just to exercise my writing "muscle" and I usually like to throw a little zinger in once in a while. I think the key is to make the writing style something you are comfortable with, not something based upon what other people say or what is trendy. That's when you get the reviews like the above.HotPotato said:
You are right - the "rant-view" is not new. It's been around a long time. Yahtzee just has a combination of factors that make his reviews interesting and entertaining, and he has a natural propensity towards actually being funny, which is why I keep watching them. But the style is hardly original.
Repugnant, childish, and devoid of any of the intelligence or literary wit. Like most reviews those facts would be forgivable if it was in some way comedic. It's not, or maybe it's just that I am well past the point in my life where hearing a computer saying the word 'fuck' is funny.
Fans of profanity, TTS, Stephen Hawkings, and people who review games without playing them should love this one.

Damn it wilsonscrazybed, stop pussyfooting about and tell us how you feel!
Think you could be right: agonisingly unfunny all round. Just goes to show that swearing can be unamusing, if you really try. 'Oh my God I'm fucking stuck in a German car with Hitler music and Pamela Anderson'...that's just grossly offensive, which would be fine if only it made me laugh.
I wish it all the success it deserves.

I agree, this person isn't half as funny as Yahtzee, but this review does make some points if the demo is anything to go by. The fact there's no colour for one thing. The handling abysmal.
But yeah, this person's other reviews, especially the one for Bioshock, was terrible.

Ah, the age-old misconception that crude, immature and uninteligable language = Comedy Gold. While this maybe true in some cases, not just anyone can spout guttural nonsense and get away with it. Also, in a more off-topic vein:

I thought I'd give everyone some perspective on the review. Here's the transcript of the video review.
----
Fuck me in the ass and call me a ho'. The new need for sperm game is on some motherfucking shelves. Now you can drive a fake German car so you can forget that you drive your sisters bike to work. And guess who made the game? EA#*$&jb&#&!~! motherfuckers made the game.
Onto the goddamn review. Well now lets take a look at the gameplay. You have to race whiteys with your little fucking Japanesey car. The thing is, my grandma can go faster in her fucking wheelchair. I'm not sure why the cars are so fucking slow. Maybe because Pamela Anderson is blowing you behind the wheel. EA you crafty cock writers (riders?) And wait another fucking minute you can't get out of the damned car. I didn't know it was so hard to push a door open and fucking get out. Oh my god, I'm fucking stuck in a german car with hitler music and Pamela Anderson. Be sure to bring a shotgun to blow your nutsack off.
Onto the graphics. Wait a fucking minute, I forgot. There are no mofo graphics. It looks like zelda on the gameboy. Everything looks simple and bland. You have to do heroin so you can see colors before you play. I mean goddamn electronic arts this is the year 'twenty oh seven', not the eighties. Forget about that hobo that gave you your first blowjob.
STORYTIME!
Ah fuck me backwards. The story is about a kid named timmy who is retarded and rolls around in his wheechair saying "timmy!" Not. Of course the freaking story line is about cars. First off you start as a looser transvestite. Then you win some races with timmy's wheelchair and get some money and fame. At the end you are the king of the streets. When have you used that storyline before EA? Oh, that's right, in all of your 'Need For Speed' games. Fuck fuck fuck. I am not gunna review the multiplayer because frankly I don't feel like playing online with a bunch of four-eyed cunts.
That's the end of the reviewiaaaaze I hope you enjoyed it. I rate this game 4.5 out of twenty. Yea, that's how much it sucks dick.

is that the review? I dunno, i wouldn't like a review like that, at all. Tastes may vary, but trying to be popular is really a bad thing in my book.
I wouldn't even try to read this review's transcript or even bother to read it... Or am i looking in the wrong direction? Please call me on it if i did.
