He said a lot of times already that he doesn't make reviews.. its called Critics!
He also explained why he usually does negative critics, reason being that most other people all like to talk about the good things about each game.
Although some of his critics sometimes don't make sense they always make me laugh and i don't get annoyed because he talks about mad stuff of games i like since i know theres hardly perfect games out there (Portal) so i know that even if i like does games they all have obvious flaws. His also really good the for the gaming industry since a lot of developers care about his opinion and try harder to make their games better and wait to see what kind of feedback he gives.

Critiques. (nitpick :tongue:)

Even if Yahtzee ripped apart one of my favorite games (he probably has too), I would still laugh.

I think I listened to this guy for less than one minute before leaving the page and never returning.

ZP is great. I like his Minecraft review. If I ever make it to Brizzy I'm going to the Mana Bar. :celebration:

Speaking of which, does anyone know any Adrians who watched that review? Were any of them freaked out? :evil:

I was like "WTF! Did he just say my name? :o".

Never watched this guy before. He is spot on on A LOT of things.

His EVE Online 'review' is priceless.


That one is good. I also like his Red Dead Redemption review. In fact, I like all his reviews. He comments on the details which other reviewers don't.

Yahtzee has also made some indie adventure games that are quite good.

http://www.reloaded.org/Yahtzee/Game-Maker9/

I tried to download one of those, then right after, my antivrus deleted the executable for being malware.

Which antivirus? That's definitely a false positive.

I think those 'reviews' are pointless since they are not funny and most certainly not game reviews. Its basically just a blog entry. And he's more fickle than Larry David.

I want to share a bottle of scotch with Ben Croshaw. He just seems like an awesome guy.

Also, he made the Chzo Mythos series, four really great point 'n' clicks. I highly recommend them to anyone with good taste. :)

That explains it.

I played the Art of Theft years before hearing of Yahtzee, when I made the connection I [censored] bricks.

Yeah the fact that it was Norton explains it. If you are one of the first people to download something Norton automatically deletes it no matter what without asking you and you have to go through hoops to restore it and stop it from doing it again.

actually, according to the report genned by norton, it was listed as having "many users" or some such and was still deleted. Anyway, I tried downloading 7 days a skeptic and that worked just fine. I'm guessing there was something pecuilar about the first one I tried to dl.

His Reddit IAMA and a trial podcast he did make him sound very down to earth and self-aware. I'm so heading to the Mana Bar if I ever go to Brisbane. Also, I totally only just got the name.

There's nothing peculiar about it, I just downloaded it. False positive.
