Agreed. He's getting as formulaic as some of the games he reviews.

(I'm not just saying this because of any particular review. I tend to agree with most of his reviews, including the SSBB one; I'm just saying that for me, his style is getting a bit old.)
I disagree, especially this week. I love how he corrects all the grammar in the emails. It's his delivery, or maybe the accent, or maybe the one-liners...I dunno, he kills me. I think I watched this week's clip more than any other one. I think he keeps getting better, especially when people piss him off.

I just watched this weeks, it was great. The part where he told the person to go look up objective in a dictionary was brilliant. I think there are a lot of gamers out there who need to look up the word objective when they rant about reviews.

This week is GTA IV

I thought this one was kind of weak compared to last week's.

Yeah talk about disappointing. That wasn't very funny at all. He makes some decent points, but ultimately it was like he was up for the past two weeks playing the game and just spat out this review by pulling an all-nighter.

First real miss for me too, but that's pretty good considering how many of these things he's done so far.

LOL! He pretty much sums up why RPG's are all the same boring crap I did play 1/2 of Eternal Sonata though, since it's the only recent RPG to look slightly different...but alas, it was boring.

This new review is an excellent summary of why I couldn't stand the game and sent it back to Gamefly after a few days. It's just not my bag.

OBLIVION added. Ever since the first skit I saw I was hoping he would do Oblivion, but it wasn't all that I hoped it would be.

Always good stuff. Even the average bits.

This and Ace of Cakes are like my favorite shows on TV (or computer).
