He forgot Metroid the other M. But I can't blame him, most of us fell asleep by the time the trailer was shown, after 20 hours(relative) of casual game waggly-doo.

Fan-friggin-tastic! But what about Scribblenauts? I thought you would dig that. Everyone was shouting about it being best in show.
Scribblenauts does look awesome.
God vs Cthulu?
Sold.

re: PureChaos

Because Golden Sun (3) does not get the hype it deserves. Yet. /biased opinion

This was exactly what I needed today, thank you, Yahtzee!

Anyone else get the feeling he's just in a bad mood? I mean while quite a few of the E3 shown games do look bad not ALL of them do. I'm looking forward to Assasins Creed 2 and The Last Guardian.

But the thing about Natal I completely agree with.
The Last Guardian ( somebody needs to teach the art guy what a griffin is and especially how one looks like )... yep... I would too... if it would be not on PS3. Potential good game on a crappy console as exclusive title = dip-shit!
Ehh I try not to get caught up in the whole console wars, both have their strengths and weaknesses, personally I have a 360 and was hoping for a ''The Last Guardian'' port to the Xbox.

And perhaps the art team was using creative licence, I mean it would be pretty boring if it was just a plain old Griffin which we've seen a hundred times wouldn't it?

Totally agree with the Nintendo section: too many Marios and a Zelda that will undoubtedly be far too similar to all the others? (On console anyway; handheld Zeldas have sucked since Gameboy Advance.)

I laughed a lot. Then agreed with the whole: "Nat-ahl", "Nay-tal" thing. I pronounce it like the second one, and it bugs me like heck when someone corrects me.

No mention of Brütal Legend? I take that as a good sign because Yahtzee couldn't even attempt to criticize it, haha.
Dude, I use your avatar on Steam. Monkey Island-a-go-go!

I'm always glad to see someone derailing the hype-trains of most of these games, but it feels like he's grasping at straws on some of these. I don't know anyone, for example, who thought that Assassin's Creed 2 should be in the far future, nor do I think the setting would work well.

Ah well. Still a good watch.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time, although I hope assiasns creed 2 will be just as good as the first one, favorite line was "Why the fuck does sonic still have to exist?"

I just rewatched it and remembered something: I'm disappointed he didn't take a bigger swing at Bayonetta.

Any game trailer that zooms the camera into the crotch of the female protagonist is a gigantic target for ridicule.

Does anyone feel it was slightly rushed this week? I suppose he has got a lot of content to get through but still...
I agree. Dunno, but I found this to be one of his poorer reviews. For a once a year review, unless he's required to keep it under 5mins, a longer review would have probably been better.
Yeah it really was funny, he didn't get enough time to talk about the games to really make enough jokes about them. Oh well, maybe it's just he had very little time this week.

Spot on about E3 2009, I'd say. Funnily enough, this is the first time I enjoyed the Ian Dorsch ZP "theme song" - the new all garbled up bass line works wonders for it. Sure hope it doesn't change back into the "original" version next week!

Another E3, another slur of games with old tiles and increasingly large numbers at the end. "I wonder if we get the grappling hook or the boomerang first this time" Epic.
I too felt this was a little rushed, you'd think he would have stretched it out over 2 or 3 weeks, what with the summer doldrums.
