The funniest one in a while. The 2d scenery in particular was blinding.

Can I also ask The Escapist to adjust their advert tagline to :

"New Videos All Week (unless Yahtzee is away accepting an award in which case we have some re-runs. Also no-one is here for any of the other videos because they're terrible but we'll advertise them anyway because their creators have less viewers than the World Gurning Championships)".

I agree.

On the subject of the review, it was pretty humourous. I enjoy this return to form with the Oblivion video and this one. I didn't enjoy the GTA4, Painkiller and TWEWY reviews as much, so this is good for me.

You should review EVE Online next, it's definitely not a generic MMO. And there is a free 21 day trial on STEAM.
That would last about 5 minutes. after minutes of the EvE trial myself I was ready to commit suicide by slamming my head through the screen. and this is Yahtzee, some often jokes about how confusing and bad PC game's UI design is, EvE is must be the ULITMATE example of this. I am a PC gamer and even I gave up on trying to figure how to play that game swiftly.

Didn't Yahtzee claim to have never played Halo in his review of Halo 3? I think his references should stick to games he's actually played.

He also shouldn't complain about there being no games to review since he has recently taken to reviewing games that are months or years old.

But should and will are different words for a reason, whatever it takes to make a good joke.

I liked the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" reference and am pretty disappointed no one has picked up on it yet. A great review as always.

If you've played one Halo you've played them all.

The phrase "have your cake and eat it too" refers to the fact that once you eat your cake, you no longer have it. Cake is a consumable, so in that respect, you cannot eat it while simultaneously having it.
The cake is a LIE!

Some sort of reference to everyone's favorite troubled 'pilot of giant robot' teenage protagonist in there?

And damn you people, it was Starship-Troopers that started the whole power armor thing not warhammer.

For years, i have been saying that the "have your cake and eat it too" cliche makes no sense. now i feel happy that i know someone else feels that way too.

Yahtzee you devilish superman, now I have to break into the next convenient store and fetch me some Cornettos.

Overall, great review. Yes, it is a bit short but I attribute that solely on his increased speed, a little too fast for my taste this time. Unfortunatly, FPSes tend to do the same mistakes over and over again: Retarded NPC-AI, crappy vehicle sections, uninspired story and the coffee-realistic graphics. Kudos to Yahtzee - after all he manages to mention the same flaws in every FPS review (since FPSes are more or less the same anyway with a very small number of true gems) but always wrapped in a new shiny giftwrap paper of funny bile. I would have stopped reviewing FPSes months ago.

That said: Where are the RTS games? Would be a nice change of pace.

Billy wants to eat his cake without having less cake afterwords. It's pretty self-explanatory. I think Yahtzee was being intentionally dense for the sake of making a joke. His cake line sounded like a sped-up Jerry Seinfeld stand-up bit.

Ugh, then you're very incompetent. It's easy and organized if you give it more then three seconds and run away in fear of your head exploding...
