These are incredibly bad to the point of being unwatchable. :down: Maybe I'm handicapped because I actually have an attention span.:shrug:

TaTTooD 12-27-07 06:54 PM

Good stuff. :D Thanks for posting these. I found em pretty funny. :)

lordwow 12-27-07 07:05 PM

I really enjoy these. He's spot on with most of his reviews.

spainlinx0 12-27-07 07:14 PM

I just watched Psychonauts, and it made me want to go back and play the game again. I loved that thing.

CKMorpheus 12-27-07 11:44 PM

Love his reviews, thanks for compiling them.

I usually have to see them two or three times in a row... they're that good.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but yours here is definitely in the minority.

I'm with him, I don't see the appeal of watching a flash video over some internet knob swearing over how much a video game sucks. I guess if you still titter like a schoolboy over the word "fuck," there would be some merit to it.

Do you actually listen to the reviews? Other than some witty one-liners, he's making some really valid points about the games.

WepaMan 12-28-07 01:06 PM

Didn't he have review of The Darkness?

fumanstan 12-28-07 01:06 PM

The reviews are ok, and i agree they actually have some good points made in them. I don't find them as funny as others, but I don't think they're bad or anything.

If that's all you see in his reviews, then we're seeing completely different things.

dvdsteve2000 12-28-07 03:51 PM

I disagree with alot of what he says, but I love hearing him talk. It's like listening to Christopher Walker or Jeff Goldblum...I wouldn't care what he was saying, just so he's saying something. The bonus is he's talking about something that I know about/like.

These are all of his reviews from the archives, I wish there were more.

Doesn't matter.

If it's on the internet, Pixy hates it.

The Bus 12-29-07 05:07 PM

But... I'm on the internet...!

No, if it's popular and on the internet, Pixy hates it (so you're ok, Bus)

shumway 01-04-08 01:33 PM

I'm not one for loads of cussing, but I find his reviews pretty funny as well.

Well, it is in another language, so it really isn't cussing.

These are pretty great. Thanks for providing the linkage.

xmiyux 01-04-08 10:45 PM

That Darkness one was hilarious.

It even has a Beyond Good and Evil joke for Pixy. ;)


and Belgium.

New review:

Silent Hill: Origins (PSP)

Chris_D 01-09-08 07:03 PM

He's right about it being like a fan game, but after completing it myself, I see it more as being a really well done prequel that meets just about everything a fan could expect from a prequel. Also, the combat in SH games has always been pretty stupid, and carrying 10 TVs in your pocket isn't necessarily much more silly than being able to kill 50+ monsters with a pocket knife or a wooden board with nails, or just finding large amounts of ammunition in a hospital. Anyway, for someone who actually is looking for some kind of challenge, or extra engagement from the combat in Silent Hill games, well SH:O delivers pretty much the best in any SH game so far (that's not saying much though!!).

LivingINClip 01-09-08 07:10 PM

As much as I love his reviews, I don't see how anyone could ever go to his site and use a review to help decide on if they should buy the game or not. Hell, even the games he likes are mostly negative reviews, with a few praises here and there.

Still, the man has a great touch for comedy.

Chris_D 01-09-08 07:16 PM

I guess it's all opinion, but with his negative Mass Effect review, well even though I thought the game was great I felt he covered some of the real issues with the game really well. However, I think SH:O is at least the 3rd best in the series (behind 2/3), and he wronged it in that review.

I agree, they're not really intended to drive purchases, but usually provide some comic relief.

Yahtzee is god. He's writing for PC Gamer now.

Ghym 01-23-08 02:33 PM

He's got one up for The Witcher now. He really hates it. It's funny, as usual, but I disagree with most of what he complains about. I think it's an awesome game.

I gotta admit, after his turd of a review on Silent Hill, I've haven't bothered going back.

What review of "Darkness"? - I haven't seen that one in the archives anywhere.
