While passing through the first few moments of Homecoming, I regretfully admit that I was thinking of of you... to be specific, the very first moments..... /sigh A quick time event. A FUCKING XXXXXXXXXXX quick time event....
Thought the SAME thing. Meh, second I saw the truck driver I thought something was up. Origins? REALLY? Though I feel that I am too experienced now a days. I am jaded to the point that on the first visit to his home that I kind of figured out most of story.

I just wish they didn't make the UFO ending one of the "normal" endings. I ran into it by accident on the first try:p

Oh, and if you hate sliding puzzles as much as I do, get a copy of SBP Solver [http://www.culand.ch/dev/SBPSolver.htm] You can set up the puzzle and it will brute force crack it. Not very good for the dreaded 16 box picture puzzles, but helps quite a bit. Wish it was multi core though.

Oh this is definately one I'll have repeat viewings of. The cinematic at the end caused the second hardest belly laugh I've had this week. Ten mins after watching and I'm still chuckling. Ow my sides...

I have to say hes done it again, this game does have the fact that Americans decided it would be fun to slap massive tits on a zombie chick and it will become arousing, NO! it does not thank you the zombie chicks are in all the games, why not live a lil and decided to make it new?!

Good stuff as usual, very happy to see the Machinima Science Theatre business back again too.
Not quite as entertainingly psychotic as the Puffer-Fish one, but meh.

Fantastic as usual, my Australian comrade. Even considering you almost lost your power the other day!

About time you started putting fans in their place, too! Nothing shits me more than whiny bastards whinging when nothing turns out a hundred percent of what they expected from a game.

The previous two reviews were awesome, and this one felt very empty for some reason. It's too bad that Yahtzee is obliged to review games that don't absolutely suck (as he made out 'too human' to).

I miss the old introductions where Ben picked out a unique song for each review. Those days were the best, but now the introductions are the same reel re-runs with only the titles switched up. What happened? Who made this decision? Was it an act of cutting down obligations, or was it something that the Escapist demanded for some reason or other?

Well, whatever. As always, Yahtzee reviews games like no other reviewer has ever reviewed games in the review of reviews, and that is an understatement for his originality and talent. I just wish that he'd get to poke games that he has a fun time doing so. Jericho was nice and ticklish, and so were some others. Silent Hill is numb and immune to Yahtzee's touch for some reason, and I still can't put my finger on the "why".

HOLLY FUCKING SHIT!!! In my eyes this has to be his best review yet! I agree completely with everything he says, so I can only say: HAIL MASTERMIND!!

umm. i may sound a bit negative but this review didn't have quite the punch as the earlier ones. done in a hangover perhaps? sounded a tad repetitive.

Brilliant review again, the phone scene was class, I had to pause it to stop laughing in work. Personally wasn't expecting much from SH5 so I think the review was right on the money.

Three awesomely good reviews in a row. Most of the fans you lost along the way will probably come back if you keep this up.

I hope Yahtzee reviews World of Goo next week, I'm really interested in what points in the game He can ridicule at.
