How dare you ask as to which is 'my favourite' ZP review?
After having watched all of them at least 3 times... I have to say;
Halo Wars.
Intro by Paul (or is it the other guy?), It's an RTS a genre which Yahtzee hates I guess and we get the best line in the entire history of the universe:
As the exasperated Chinese zookeeper said to the last male panda in the world, 'Fuck That!'.
However you have to watch the series like I have other wise you want understand it. If there has to be a second place it's the SSBB review and the post-brawl mail-bag showdown. I useually show people those videos and now they're fans.
:0 ALL OF THEM! I guess the ones I like the most are the ones that DON'T have the theme song, instead a random usually awesome song! MUCH BETTER!
If I was forced to choose tho.... Orange Box... Duke Nukem 4evar.. &nnnndddd.... Darksiders, just because all the reasons why Yhatzee hates it are the reasons why my friend LOVES it

Assassin's Creed 2
"Guess what you get later in the game, no joke a f******* gun. Now in the 15th century that's not giving anyone a chance"

"Don't ask me how I got into it, but in 1 level, I had a pickup truck hanging Italian style over the flaming lava pit, and the star at the end, with my character holding a Ice Pick. All I had to do was crack open the ice get the star. Even if I fell into the lava, I would still win but with a horrible burning victory dance. So I press the star and guess what? I misjudged it and it seemed like my chracter was waiting for me to do this all day. He threw the pickaxe and jumped up and down like a crazy monkey"
whoa, too many too remember. it kind of blends together to a best of jokes in my mind. but i really liked the bioshock and the prototype/infamous review. they are all good. some are excellent. not a single one is bad at all. so it´s hard to pick a favourite one.
i found the peggle episode to be kind of special because he seemed to be extra serious. the tone of his voice was entirely different and not "ranty" as usual. it was like he wanted to make sure that people get that the game is at least a competent puzzler. it´s cool that he keeps on mixing things up from time to time with unusual topics and different approaches to games, although i don´t agree on his view all the time. but that´s not the point of zp anyway.
EDIT: now that i read it at my pre-posters post, i have to say painkiller. totally forgot about that one. "a gun that shoots shuriken and lightning!". pure awesome.
Mass Effect 2, Mailbag Showdown, Washington DC, Resident Evil 5, Mercenaries 2, Clive Barker's Jericho, Far Cry 2, Mirror's Edge and Oblivion; those are my favorites. Its to hard to pick just one.
Though I really enjoy everyone of Yahtzee's reviews, I really loved it when he chose a different song for every review. But more to the point: Painkiller and Borderlands I really love.
All of them. But really my favs are Overlord 2, Prince of Persia, Mercenaries 2 and Halo wars. I wish he did a AVGN type thing where he would review old games.
PAINKILLER
because I love the game. I bought it because of the review and he was dead on about it. Most of his reviews are top notch and great in their own way but I do love the Prince of Persia trilogy for the dick in pudding line.
Well to be perfectly honest I liked the reviews of, in order of best to least for top 3:
1) No More Heroes
2) Psychonauts
3) Orange Box (Portal Part)
I just love seeing when Yahtzee actually likes a game he reviews. First of all I do really like it when the games he likes are faves of mine too (LOVE NO MORE HEROES AND KILLER 7 WITH A PASSION!!!!!!!!!!) but seeing him like anything does really mean something when he has so much reason at this point to just say FUCK-ALL and hate all games (reference to WET)
