Yahtzee, otherwise known as Ben Croshaw is a gaming reviewer for The Escapist. Every wednesday, he posts a new video review, or a short video to do with gaming.

If you want to see all his videos, they are on this page.

So talk about Yahtzee and his reviews here; whether you agree with them, what's bad about them etc.

Lolowned.

[Caael]

Didn't feel like necroing a 3 month old thread.

I like Yahtzee. His reviews aren't too serious, but entertaining.
Though his description of webcomics is spot on.

[Drizzy Drake]

Complete fail Caael.

[Caael]

If you arent going to contribute, stfu and gtfo. A lot of your posts are just 'fail'

His Bioshock review was awesome

" And in the evil ending you're depicted as a hybrid of skeletor and hitler who's pure piss is pure malevolence.

[Drizzy Drake]

Fuck you kid. I will post irrelevant posts whenever I feel like it. So how about you stfu and gtfo of your uber fail, already made, topic.

Quiet down, and go snort coke in a corner or something.


The console rundown was a pretty funny video, especially with the analogies at the end.

[Drizzy Drake]

So you didn't feel like posting in a 3 month old topic, so you posted a topic EXACTLY like it? Wow, where the fuck is your logic? And wow, calling me a fucking druggie, that's original. I wonder if anybody else here has called me a druggie. Nope don't think so. Damn, you really can be fucking retarded some times.

[Caael]

What was meant by the coke comment was go and calm yourself down. Did I call you a druggie directly? It was implied, but never said. And even if I did call you a druggie directly, why are you taking offense, you ARE a druggie.

And I dont tend to check back through previous pages, unless I remember a certain thread worth reviving. I didnt recall the previous thread being made, or seeing it at all, so I assumed this would be the first one. However it was not, and I have realised my mistake.

There was no reason for you to get all worked up about a single duplicate thread, when i've clearly explained myself three times now, and you are still banging on about it.


Back to Yahtzee, it's weird in the Uncharted review when Yahtzee actually showed himself. Probably because he wasnt wearing his Trilby.

[Drizzy Drake]

I was just joking. I wanted some E-Drama, since nothing's good on TV, and none of my friends are awake, but you wouldn't feed into it. GET MAD NIGGA!

RAR DIPSET I WILL NO LONGER TOUCH YOUR PENIS BECAUSE OF THIS ARGUEMENT

WE'RE THROUGH



The webcomics one yesterday was totally true for the majority of reasons.

[Drizzy Drake]

...NOOOO!!!! I want your bad touch. We can do it like they do on the discovery channel.

I bet the guy who makes Ctrl Alt Del must have gone nuts watching that.

[Caael]

He hates anybody who even mentions his comic

[TheEnglishman]

I really used to like it as well. At one point, I enjoyed it more than 8 bit theater.

[Drizzy Drake]

He has some funny ass reviews. Though he is a bit harsh on some games, most are spot on.

[Caael]

Sometimes he overcritisizes, which in some cases, like the Witcher, is unneccessary. However he points out flaws I wouldn't have noticed.

[Drizzy Drake]

Mhmm. He is great and what he does, just a little overly critical.

[Caael]

Oh, no doubt he's awesome, he just focuses on the bad poitns of games too much.

[Drizzy Drake]

That's the whole point of his reviews, is to focuse on the bad points.

[Caael]

I know, but he barely ever mentions good points. But then again, I prefer it when he hates on a game than when he praises one.

[Drizzy Drake]

It gives you a real view. Everybody knows the good things about games. Oh, MGS4 has great graphics, and a better camera, and weapons customization. Everybody knows about that from the hype and other reviews. Yahtzee gives the bad, so you can make an informed decision.

Yeah, you shouldn't review a game if you just don't like the genre it's in.

[My Best Wishes]

He's a funny guy, although I wouldn't really use his reviews for a decision on a game, mostly for laughs. He does give good points on flaws in games but it's all negative.
What was with this weeks episode though, bit random to rant on about web comics.

[Split Infinity]

*facepalm*

Stop making duplicate topics, people...

[Someone Else]

Read the MGS4 review. So true, but it's a good game anyway. =O

[My Best Wishes]

"And now a brief mention of Gears of War 2. That was it"

That did make me laugh, good episode this week.

[Caael]

I agree with him about expecting the worst.

[Laharl]

his E3 review was hilarious XD and spot on.

[Someone Else]

What's with his theme song... thing? =( I looked forward to what the random music would be each time...
