Halo 3 review was so damn true. I liked some parts of the Phantom Hourglass review, but I thought it was mostly untrue. Though this is probably largely due to the fact that I'm a Zelda fanboy.

BioShock one is true as well, about the console gamers anyway...

XD I love the BioShock one. However, I've never played BioShock so don't kick me in the balls for saying that it sucks, because I never said that.

He said it could very well be the game of the year but then he bashed it anyway.

Console Rundown should be entertaining for the fanboys.

note the subtext "an adventure in fanboy baiting"

You know, I'm the guy in those videos. I just changed my name, and I diss video games instead of fanboys. Seriously look closely:

Just replace the word 'whatever' with 'fanboys' and 'reviewing' with 'abusing' and voila, it's a 100% accurate description of yours truly. This is old by the way, everyone already knows who Yahtzee is you jackass.

Only a British guy could be funny like that anyway, shame he lives with the convicts now. Maybe the traitor will return to his homeland some day, in which case we'll probably hang him for treason.

They're great reviews, though obviously not to be taken too seriously. I agree with Anubis, it's all cause we're so witty.

I Googled 'Zero Punctuation' last week and the forum topic on the website I write for is ranked 4th, surprisingly enough. Makes me wonder if Ben ever Googled it and read the topic, I should tell him to return to Britain in case he reads it.

To be fair, he's no longer that amusing to me. His first videos were great, because he made fun of games of his own choosing. Now he's doing it for the Escapist, and they give him deadlines.

This means if there's nothing truly bad out there to diss, he has no choice but to pick something, anything to keep his employers happy. That's why he used to be very amusing, but now he's ripping games apart for the sake of ripping games apart. Those of you who don't agree will most likely catch onto my point as some time goes by.
