Yahtzee is one of the few game reviewers I find myself agreeing with these days. His first person shooter sins episode (I forget the actual game being reviewed) was spot on. I still disagree with him sometimes, but he makes excellent points.

EDIT:It's the Turok review.

Yea he is great. I agree with most all of it. And his review of "Portal" makes me want to buy it. It's the only game that he actually likes!!

Portal is fantastic. Every single aspect of the game shines. The puzzles are extremely fun and GlaDOS's dark sarcastic humor is brilliant.

Nope, you can get it for the 360 or PS3 in the Orange Box (PC version comes in the Orange Box or standalone). There's also supposed to be a new 360 version coming with additional challenges which sounds like it'll be sold on it's own.

Orange Box is worth it, though. HL2 and Episodes 1 and 2 are also fantastic. Plus if you like multiplayer games, you get TF2 in the bundle as well.

dont get orange box for ps3. valve didnt want to do the port for the ps3 so they gave it to EA and of course EA ****ed it all up. half life was unbearable. it had loading times of 30-45 sec ALL THE TIME!!! go down some stairs, LOADING... go around a corner, LOADING... ****ing atrocious. if you can get portal by itself, do it. that game was awesome. loved it. epic win

as for ZP, ive been watching that for awhile now and love it everytime. even when he makes fun of games i actually like. still hilarious. new one every wed. joystiq.com always links to them.

I know what I'm doing tomorrow! Heading down to an electronics store to pic up the Orange Box for the 360. God I can't wait to play Portal!!! It just looks like so much fun just to screw around with.

I loved his MGS4 review. He was completely spot on about the game from start to finish, and this is coming from an MGS fanboy.

I've been watching Yahtzee for a while now, and i think what makes him a cut above your typical reviewer is that he holds back no punches. Most reviewers try to polish a turd or find some way to balance negatives and positives in a game. Yahtzee has no qualms with blasting a game, because he's a gamer who's fed up with the current crop of crap.

I find myself agreeing with Yahtzee too! The best one was the review of EVE online...

I'm so very sorry, but I can't understand anything what so ever being said in the videos. Accents are simply too heavy. Perhaps when I better myself with the Queens proper language, I can begin to understand, hark, dare I say it, converse better.

But for now, I will need much more pictures to stay focused.

Regards.

Keep others like me in mind.
