That honestly sounds like a great idea and might (I say MIGHT) bring in some female gamers.Trishbot said:

"Shadows of the Damned"? I was expecting the usual bout of napalm carpet-bombing for a game with such a hideously generic name.
Three things
1) This, I think, is his best review, EVER
2) When did his character get FINGERS?
3) "Brace yourself, Garcia F'ing Hotspur!"

The game never really appealed to me, but upon hearing about the crazy things that go on in the game I rented it out of curiosity. After running into George, the first boss of the game, I gave up. Not because of difficulty (although, trying to aim is like trying to drunkenly aim for the urinal while on a see-saw), but Shadows of the Damned was just too fucking weird for my tastes.
And the constant barrage of dick jokes didn't help matters. I do agree that the dialogue between Garcia and Johnson was pretty entertaining, but for short while.

Considering Killer 7, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2 and No More Heroes are some of his top ranked games it shouldn't come as a surprise that he would review this where all that (in theory) comes together.u2rocksbaby said:
I am disappointed to hear that the difficulty was so low. I loved resident Evil 4 and No More Heroes, and Resident Evil on Pro was an exercise on my patience since I died all the time.
How long has it been since the theme song was introduced and it still gets on my tits every time. Always have to fast forward through it
"...You're saving your kidnapped girlfriend, which as the game stories go is only slightly newer than "you have to shoot the thing"..." - priceless.
I think the main problem of this game is the exact fact that it had not one famous name on its cover, but three. It's like making three chef-cooks share one kitchen, in other words: it can only end very badly for the main dish.
Suda51 is the most talented and original AAA game designer. He's so original, in fact, that it is hard to believe he makes AAA games and not indie ones. I just hope he doesn't get exploited by the suits or gets dragged to the bottom by his originality like Tim Schaefer.

Great review!
I'm surprised that Yahtzee actually enjoyed this one quite a bit.I might look it up next change I get.

For someone who supposedly likes survival horror Yahtzee really bashes the RE series a lot. They might not be the best entry into the genre, but the RE games are still better than most of the crap they've churned out in recent years.
That's how most things work actually, same with movies too. I remember my film teacher telling me that most directors never finish a movie, they just run out of time and/or budget so they just turn in what they got done so to speak. I think the same thing goes for developers.Fronzel said:
