I'm still waiting for the demo to see if it's worth it. Despite Yatzhee giving it the thumbs up,I still like to see games in action for myself before considering a purchase.Sonicron said:

I do not have videogame SUPER SIZE ME issues.
Hmm... I do love story in games, but I do not have any interest in this Diablo sort of gameplay.
I might have to try it out at some point.
The other one I have no interest in but...
I love the Yahtzee magic glowing snake. So cute!
I want one!

From what Yahtzee said I'm now imagining the narrator from Bastion with a voice that sounds like a cross between Morgan Freeman and Barry White.

Oops.
I blame the site, it was running slow and weird and gave me an error message.
To make this on topic, I like ZP. This one was not as funny as most but also the games did not really interest me this time. Not that there is usually a correlation with that.

The problem with Catherine is that its not been released in Australia or Europewhich would make it harder to import long with the fact that do you really expect it to get past the ratings bored there?Strife2GFAQs said:
Perhaps I'm being too sensitive here, but does anyone notice that he is insulting America in all of his reviews to the point that it's basically becoming a running gag? I mean, I can take a joke and realize our shortcomings and failures, but it's getting a bit out of hand here. It's like he'll take any excuse he can to call America stupid, overly militaristic, or any other blanket insult he can come up with. "America changed the cover and title of a game, therefore they are stupid." Big whoop. I don't see how that has to do with the subject at hand, or will have any impact on the gameplay and story. Maybe I'm looking too into things and that's supposedly some inside joke that my "stupid American brain" isn't getting or missing his insults directed to other countries, but honestly I'm having a hard time believing it. If someone can let me know if I've overlooked something please tell me, because I do like Zero Punctuation very much even when it takes the piss out of games I enjoy.
That being said, good review nonetheless.

He did that about a year ago too. Limbo and Deathspank. This is just a drought period for big titles.vivalahelvig said:
How come no-one living in USA seem to grasp the concept that not all of the world is able to play a game once it's been released in USA? USA uses NTSC, Europe and Australia (the place where Yahtzee is right now) use mostly PAL and huge chunks of Africa and Asia uses SECAM.sboss said:
Translated into simple terms. When a game is released in USA it is released in NTSC. Yahtzee a PAL user have to wait for the PAL release (more importantly the Australian release) before he can play it. If you are hoping for a review for a game that has not been released, and there's currently no plans to release then you do in other words hope he will review a game without playing it.
Great reviews. It wasn't that much of a surprise that he'd like From Dust, I myself think it's pretty good, but I haven't had the time to play Bastion yet, I guess I'll have to check it out. I do agree on the points about the NPC being really retarded when it comes to moving though. Just a drop of water there and they'll shout for help.
Great, thanks to his renaming The Bastion "Sebastian," now I'm going to be stuck saying "the" as "se," which will make me sound like Germany in the English dub of Hetalia.
In other news, I wasn't expecting him to like From Dust (though it looks intriguing to me), and I'd never heard of The Bastion, so this was doubly unexpected. I almost wish I still had my Xbox 360.

There's this strange thing with me that every time I become a fan of something, especially when I discover it a while after it first started, the show starts losing it's touch and I start to lose interest. This happened to me with Freeman's Mind, Civil Protection, Dexter, Half-Life (I mean, this long without any kind of news of Episode Three? C'mon VALVe!) and others.
However, I am very thankful that, after all this time, when I first saw Yahtzee's YouTube videos and then I saw my first Escapist Zero Punctuation Review (Epic Mickey, back when it came out), I have not interest in this show and they have stayed great and brilliant!
Keep up the good work, Mr. Crowshaw!
