[SPELLEGRINO]

I think this was an amazing game. I still havent seen the Yahtee Croshaw Team member!

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Remember: the save button is your friend...

One... more... turn...

 

[Falseprophet]

I really want to get this one, but I think I'll wait just another week or so when winter reduces me to hermit status again.

 

[Zombie_Moogle]

Did anyone else smile as wide as I did when he referenced Octodad?

 

[Syntax Man]

So the statistics totally say Assassin's Creed 3

 

[Squilookle]

Good to see just about everyone is talking about that whole worldwide single American accent thing

Here's hoping Yahtzee gets revenge on Assassin's Creed 3 for it's shameless anti-brit marketing by completely ignoring it next week and reviewing the just released Farming Simulator 2013 instead...

 

[Libra]

Loving the positive vibes. And the "Nigeria has withdrawn support" slide had me laughing for the rest of the video

 

[Spectrum_Prez]

I might have to try this out. I had almost precisely the same reaction as Yahtzee to watching a friend play Valkyria Chronicles. Good core gameplay, but absolutely ridiculous aesthetics.

"Nature Lover"

 

[Ickabod]

That might have been his most glowing endorsement to date.

 

[Qitz]

Ah X-Com, the Dracula of Time Vampires. I'm surprised Yahtzee even got this out.

Though it does still have it's buggy problems so it's not 100% perfect but it's still fun.

 

[Andy Shandy]

May want to sort the bit underneath the video =P And this is yet another game I want but don't have the money to buy at the moment D=

Also please let it be Farming Simulator 2013 next week! Or is that prestigious honour being given to Mr Chalk? =P

Somebody HAS to review it, anyway.

 

[Denamic]

It's rare that any game other than Thief or Silent Hill 2 gets this much praise.

 

[CodeNameZed]

I was sure he'd mention the fact that he is a character in the game.

 

[Erttheking]

...ok, didn't call that. Thought that he wasn't going to like it. Aw well, I really should give it another playthrough. I kinda lost patience with it and kept save scumming individual turns, but maybe I was going about it the wrong way.

 

[Sonicron]

I saw it! I fucking saw it! He keeps scoffing at Warhammer 40.000 (and, in all fairness, it amuses me greatly), but that weapon the baby imps were holding was a W40k plasma rifle! xD

This review made the game sound a lot more fun than the trailers would have me believe. Maybe I'll give it a whirl once it's nice and cheap, in a year or so.
