"Strangled noise" was the only thing that came close to making me laugh, but even that fell flat. Overall, it was a pretty lame "review". It was actually more like hideous angry-boy banter delivered for the sole intention of sparking fanboy controversy and arguments, consequently increasing the viewer ratings. I can't imagine Yahtzee playing video games or continuing this line of profession for much longer.

Bleh I think I'm starting to get sick of yahztees manufactured exaggerated cynicism. Didn't really find this vid funny at all.
Would be nice to get some info on Game Damage, they've been working on that shit for a stupidly long amount of time now.

I think the Rayman Ravin' Rabbids make that gurgley noise. Yes I owned it, in my dark cretinous years.

As the E3 bashing begins, the Yahtzee hilarity continues.

SUICIDE!!

Another excellent "review". Not quite as hilarious as some of his earlier ones, but still pretty damn funny.

Yeah I heard about Project Natal about 1 week ago on NPR. My thought was "My room is so cramped and claustrophobic i wouldn't be able to make it work, I'm probably 4 feet away from the TV and my Xbox 360 sits behind my TV. I respect that they are trying to make a virtual reality thing, after all if you don't experiment with the technology it will never become stream lined. For example the first cars were not efficient but if they had not been built we wouldn't have vehicles. but i digress, between the NXES display and the new Natal hardware I feel like Microsoft is trying to be like the Wii, which seems stupid considering so many people bought the Xbox 360 because they didn't want to deal with the crazy wacked controllers of the Wii system.
I am looking forward to Assassins Creed 2 even if it isn't futuristic. otherwise nothing else has really caught my interest... thats my two cents.

Hmm... Felt that a little too much time was spent on the console/interface rambling and not enough on the games themselves. I would have preferred a bit more time spent on them. Take, for example, Alan Wake. I'm not sure what the problem is with it. To me, at least, it looked like it had the potential to be rather good. Of course, with Yahtzee "potential" translates to "nothing's been proved yet" which itself translates to "it'll probably be crap" but still, a bit more than a one liner about the title would have been nice.

This week, Zero Punctuation shares some thoughts on games hyped at e3 2009.

Watch Video
Yahtzee said Metal Gear Rising was a ps3 exclusive but it isnt. Also I'm surprised he didnt mention Modern Warfare 2 since he liked CoD 4 so much. And I wanted him to talk about Heavy Rain because i wasnt sure if he would completely massacar it or praise its uniquness

I remember when I used to follow what was happening in E3. The hope, the expectations, the daydreaming and fan site building.

God was I naive back then.

So sad, but true. E3 seems to always do a good job of setting everything it so much as mentions up for failure.

I honestly do hope Nintendo crashes and burns forever when the gimmicky Wii bullshit stops being cool, and everyone stops caring.
