And I was just playing Half-Life Source...Weird...

Good review as always but a bit obscure i think.If you don't have any hot new release, you can always make a retro review Yahtzee

Heard about the game and how bad it is, so I'll pass.

Loved that bit at the end, though, had me in stitches. You should do them more often...

No "My Science Project" by The Tubes? Psh. No wonder Black Mesa is going to hell in an anomalous materials sample cart.

Wow, is that the first time we've seen a real post-credits thing since... well I was going to say that Painkiller one he did, but I guess you could count that thing he did at the end of the LittleBigPlanet review.

Anyway, yes, the game: Pity this apparently isn't all that good; this is probably the only real exposure it'll ever get. That's the thing about Yahtzee: His overly-critical approach works well to balance out the hype and overly-generous reviews that big-name games always get, but in cases like this, it's the only thing for potential customers to go on besides generic marketing text on the Steam store.

Making it about pirates was definitely a good move. If there's any genre that should have instant appeal for the sort of people who play video games but hasn't already been done to death by video games, it's probably pirates.

But, I need to put the bowties on the monkeys, it's part of my experiment into the effects of fanciness on animals, also, bowties are cool!

Bravo Yahtzee, that ending bit was absolutely fantastic "Playing the hits while you play God" nearly made me spit out my drink, and I nearly missed the "Sector 7G" Simpsons reference

Radio bit was awesome.

Also surprised that there aren't any idiots thus far wondering where his D3 review is.

Great ending Yahtzee. Some game developer really does need to hire you as a writer/ voice actor for their games.
Did you read the thing about him being considered as a writer for Duke Nukem Forever?

Half-life 3?!?! Episode 3?!?! He totally hinted it!

Ahhhh, there goes my "awaiting the unlikely sequel syndrome" reaction for the month.
