Since AVGN has his own thread I figured that I'd start one up for Yahtzee.
Today's was: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
It's my favorite of the year so far.
Who else eagerly await his newest video?

I enjoy Zero Punctuation. You have to bring the right attitude to listening to Yahtzee, as he will mercilessly skewer some of the most beloved franchises out there. If you're easily offended by hearing a game you like picked apart, then it's not for you.
I enjoyed his recent review for HAWX.
"HAWX is a flight simulation in the same sense that Space Invaders is a simulator for tactical warfare."
"From ludicrously fast to 'there is a mosquito-shaped hole in my teeth'"
"I think it would have been more credible if the enemies were an army of disgruntled insect people from the Earth's core........ wearing silly hats."
Also, since the thread is about Yahtzee too, I want to say that his four point-and-click adventure games are fantastic and a great tribute to the genre. I'm talking about 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice.
He's still at it? Considering I haven't even seen the guy mentioned at ANY news site since his Painkiller review, I figured he'd retired by now.
I like this guy in small doses, but he schtick is more repetitive to me than AVGN's.
Yahtzee is awesome, I even find myself rewatching his videos from time to time. Sonic Unleashed is probably my favourite of his recent ones.
I'm not sure how many people here watch the Zero Punctuation reviews, but I really enjoy them. I don't always agree with him, but he is very funny. If you haven't seen them, check 'em out here:

Watch it religiously every wednesday.
"What's with the world war two games coming being made by Axis forces? Community Service?"
priceless
I don't even own any of the modern systems either - he's just too damn funny!

Holy crap. It's been a while.
I think the guy's just an asshole and I stopped watching him.
I love his Sonic Unleashed review and how he latched onto "the old Sonic games were GOOD" without bothering to tell WHY they were good. Yet in another review he made it a point to tell us how much he preferred Twilight Princess to Ocarina of Time because "nostaligia doesn't make a game good". At least he could keep his BS consistent.
But this is a problem with anyone forced to review NEW media on a schedule. He plays it for an hour and decides he hates it.
Unless the company in question gives him a free tour of their offices, in which case he kisses butt.
He's an unfunny, "mean because I can" version of Dr. Ashen.
Yahtzee bored me. I mean, sometimes he goes overboard with the insults, and I don't feel like he describes why the games are flawed. He's got good wit, but he just got repetitive and stale.
Yup I watch him every week:

I love him, he's the only game review series I watch at all. The GH3 review was probably my favourite one.
And he was positive about Fallout 3... somewhat.
He has a good sense of humor and not look at game based on hype. A lot of his comments are right on.

Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

Woops! My bad. Didn't see the other thread. I really liked the dark athena review a lot. Definitely one of my favorites so far. I think he really took Vin down a couple pegs*LoL*

One of my favorites.

My favorite is the next gen console one. Thought it was great he throws in his rant about fan appeasment at the end of each vid now. Always loved that bit.
