Well, Just Cause 2 was fun, but it was too repetetive, it didnt had has many options as Saints Row 2 for example.

That was a great video. I guess Bioshock 2 is a love it or hate it game, personally I didnt really care for it that much. But I didnt dislike it enough to name it one of the top 5 worst games. Just Cause 2 was awesome. So glad it got #1. That was hilarious "Halo reach...JK.." I also thought Demon's Soul was going to be in the worst list.

Didn't see Just Cause 2 getting the top game. It was so painful to play, so utterly pointless and dreadful to control. The only game released last year (or even this generation) that I would put below it is Doctor Who: Return to Earth.

And I thought that Metroid: Other M and BioShock 2 were great games.

I can honestly say I've only played two of the ten games listed. Mostly because there were no PC versions of over half of them. So all I can say about this episode of ZP is: "Whatever..."

I didn't see Just Cause 2 coming. I thought it was fun. For the $6.50 I paid for it on Steam. I would never have paid more. It gets boring after playing it for more than an hour or two, because it's always the same thing. The missions are lame, the story sucks, and the voice acting is terrible. Except Sloth Demon, who had the funniest voice ever, but I played four missions and his voice is replaced by an extremely annoying one.

However, it does have some of the nicest graphics on PC.

Aw crap, It's too late to play JC2 now. Too many new games from christmas. Damn. And to think it was only a tenner on amazon. I can't believe I clearly missed out a massive chance sitting right in front of me.

I don't get why People like Amnesia. I couldn't find anything scary about it. It's just boring.
It's not overtly scary. Most of the scariness comes from your own mind, that requires a certain level of intelligence.
Is that in defense of the game? Because that is borderline retarded.
He just got the wrong end of the stick, what he was probably looking for is "imagination".
It is your imagination alone that creates the scary ideas in the setting and gaps the game gives you to freak yourself out.
Lack of imagination tho means you're just sitting there in the dark bored rigid.

You can see something similar in Portal, there is no actual story told only hints of some grand scheme, and all the rest was what your mind made of it.

That was fucking hilarious.I haven't grinned so hard at a ZP episode in weeks. I only didn't laugh out loud because I was busy stuffing my fat face with chips.

Anyway, I'm glad he gave credit to RD:R because it was one of my favorites from the past year. And I really wish my computer would run Amnesia :( :( :( Also, I didn't think Other M's combat was bad. I actually liked it; I thought it was one of the few things Team Ninja did right by that game.

I'm happy that someone else acknowledged how good Just Cause 2 was. It was tragically ignored as a GOTY contender by most people despite being this year's best example of a game being fun above all else. Yahtzee, I salute you, and I must also agree with your opinion on Limbo and Red Dead Redemption, the other games on your list that I played.

Sorry if this has been said, way too many comments.

I find it odd that the bad music was used as both theme music for one of (IMO) the best movies ever and opening music for one of (IMO again) the best games ever. Was it chosen purely because it sounds ominous or does Yahtzee have something against Clockwork Orange or Bad Fur Day?

Hehehe Nice Lists Ben, had me for a second there when you said it "murdered a classic" I thought you meant Castlevania, but nop... I have to agree with that List. At least the Worst of 2010 since the Top was more like YOUR top while the worst was more like THE worst lol.
Castlevania was already murdered way before this latest piece of crap. It was murdered by all the other shitty 3D Castlevania games.

Haven't played any of the games on the list because I'm poor. Someone give me money. Please? Have a heart people, it's Christmas in a year! I've got kids and stuff.
Lol well I would like to ask if you are poor then how did you get to play the "lastest piece of crap" from Konami? But knowing that is one of those Love it or Leave it games I won't try to sway you one way or another...


My top 5 aren't quite the same as anyone here... But if I had to include a bad game there in the worst 5 I would say Front Mission... Good controls, bad story, bad customization, no music in the background and poorly Balanced multi...

I must be the only one who actually likes Bioshock 2
The gameplay in BioShock 2 is much better than the original, but gameplay wasn't exactly BioShock's main appeal, that was the atmosphere and story.

Great review, hilarious as always.

Good start of the year, that video...

Yahtzee, there's one minor critique that I have to send your way: IT'S 2011 AND YOU ARE STILL USING A CRT SCREEN!

Time for an upgrade, don't you think?

Don't know if it's just because I played the demo, but I didn't care for Just Cause 2. The grappling hook is hilarious, but the shooting is kinda blah and the dialogue sounds like a bad porno. Agree with the rest of the list except the fact that Reach isn't on the Top 5, but I know how you find Halo mediocre and such.

Whoa didn't expect 1 or 2 he probably liked them for the vast gameplay time you can spend on the two, personally I thought they were both mediocre games at best. Both having nothing special on story front and the voice that was incredibly poor and between everybody on the internet and me Just Cause 2 was the only game I've never completed but Yahtzee isn't someone to get angry at.
