I'm just as shocked as you are.joshthor said:
But seriousley, I feel a bit unnerved by his latest episode. It seems like he keeps changing his format. Just like how last week he used an Irish accent, this week he spoke in Limirics, AND gave it a rating. Whatever, it doesn't matter really.
Wow. That one gets some points, there, Yahtzee. The limericks are a nice change from the standard approach, and they made it possible for you to reuse some of your standard complaints about modern FPSs in a way that seems new and amusing.
I've also wondered why several newer games in certain series have decided they can just reuse the name of the original game without anything else to distinguish them. Prince of Persia and Bionic Commando come to mind, just off the top of my head. Who exactly do these game designers think they are? Whether the new thing's a remake, a sequel, or an alternate universe retelling created by brain devouring aliens; it doesn't change the fact that there's already a game out there with that name. Trying to claim the original name, as if somehow the new game is more deserving of it than the original, seems awfully pretentious.

This is my first time posting on the escapist forums. I'm a fan of ZP since about 4 months, but now i had the urge to answer here: This was an incredible Review! I don't know how much money YC gets for each review, but it couldn't possible be enough this time! Amazing!
Seriously, Yahtzee is the single best thing that happened to the internet since Weebl and Lolcats!

I've never heard so many limmericks in the space of five minutes. Kudos for coming up with so many related to the game. I heard it was supposed to be quite good, but then so are so many games that come out these days. I'm looking forward to the Arkham Asylum review purely 'cause it's one of the games out recently that's got outstanding praise.
yahtzee is a genius and (unlike most video game companies out there) has be keeping his shows original.i look forward to this web show every week because everyone in my high school sucks and my small group of good friends is/are(don't know which) being infected by SUCKTARDS so this helps me relax after repelling SUCKTARDS all day long
I have never seen a show as fine,
that it would age just like wine.
For every episode that may pass,
there are cascades of laughs.
A great way to review Wolfenstein!
Humor as warm as Kilo-Kai rum,
your ideas still on their high run.
The jokes never get old,
always risque and bold.
Can't wait for Arkham Asylum!
