Nice review of three and a half games ("half" being the FIFA 13 game, because a "sports game" have only the "game" portion of the title, and you are NOT doing sport when you play a video game, so yeah, half, and yeah, there is NOTHING to be said about it, other than what is said on the title...)

Since you are so wise here, can you explain me what changes there are in Fifa 13 compared to Fifa 12? Yes, all shooter games contain shooting. However from what I can assume about Fifa 13 is that there's some mild tweaks in graphics and maybe some in gameplay, maybe introduce new players (I know one game introduced long retired players as a tribute). However the rules are the same, there are no new maps since all football fields have to be 68x105 meters.razer17 said:
It's popular just like Call of Duty, but just like Call of Duty there's hardly any changes. At least Call of Duty offers a new story with the game.
I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just curious because as I see it Fifa 13 is little more than a game where you play football.
Also known as Indie Roundup of 2012 #4, because it's easy to get into WATCHING a sport, but hard to get into PLAYING a sport without it being in reality.
Yatzee DID say something about reviewing only indie games because only they can be interesting and consistently breaking the mold (which is a paradox, I guess).

I haven't enjoyed a ZP episode this much in...well, a surprisingly long time. I suspected he'd get back to FIFA 13 but not knowing what the punch line would be kept me hooked.
Interesting to follow the differences between Yahtzee's review of Tokyo Jungle and Susan Arendt's.

I am really enjoying Mark of the Ninja. In some ways it makes me remember of Commando for the PC. Although that bonus for not killing people is really strange
It might have been a 8sec review,but at least that's something right? 
Laughed my ass off on this one.Wonder which of the top games he will tackle next week(hopefully?): Dishonored,XCOM etc.

The last 8 seconds summarise all FIFA games nicely: the mechanics do their job, it's pretty unoffensive and fun to play with some friends.
Hah, that was a nice change of pace. And really, how else could he have reviewed it? Sports games are pretty much the same thing over and over and over again. I don;t get why they're so popular when, I dunno, you could just go outside and actually play them?
Word on the street is that Resident Evil 6 is nothing to get sober over.
I'll admit it- for half a second I thought I was actually going to have to endure a review of FIFA 13, perhaps even discover Yahtzee's previously unheralded love of soccer. This was a very pleasant (and funny) surprise.
