George Wood's game reviews are notorious for going off into fervent, but often hilarious directions.
- First, but not least, his take on Donkey Kong Country:Donkey Kong Country is truly perfect. If you do not get this amazing new generation of Donkey Kong Country madness, you are STUPID. Yes, I know, that's insulting, but it's also the truth!
- The Toy Story review has to be seen to be believed. It's an absolute mountain of insanity:
- "When you pop in this game, the first thing you notice is the poor edging on Woody."
- He spends an insane amount of time rambling about Silicon Graphics computers, which thanks to it now being an Unintentional Period Piece, is now more or less an incoherent string of babbling to a contemporary viewer and makes his bizarre obsession with SGI visuals even more off-putting and unintentionally hilarious. In fact, he keeps rambling on about them so much, you'd think he was actually sponsored by the company that made Silicon Graphics Computers.
- Right in the middle of explaining how to finish the second level, he breaks off from the game and talks about... a knockoff Street Fighter action figure. He then goes back to the walkthrough as if he didn't totally change the subject just now.
- The absolute crowner, however? Despite constantly finding things to rag on about the game, George states it has better gameplay than Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2... before immediately referring to the play style as being bad.
- Speaking of Immediate Self-Contradiction, he manages to contradict himself within a single sentence. This is when he talks about using cheats to complete the game.
You can't win Toy Story without cheating, and this cheating brings victory way too quickly to warrant spending your money. - A Funny Moments page about this show wouldn't be complete without bringing up his...rather out there suggestion for what he thinks would make a good Tomb Raider plot.We have a challenge to Eidos. In Tomb Raider III, create a storyline in which Lara gets breast cancer. Imagine the drama of a vulnerable Lara Croft still persisting on her worldly adventures despite her illness. It needs fleshing out, no pun intended, but we guarantee the gaming world would be shocked, stunned, and moved by the effort to make Lara's character more meaningful.
- Also, him stating that she is "complete with front-loaded anvils".
- That wasn't the only out there suggestion George would make for a game idea. His second great idea comes from his Fomula One Racing review where he says this.Why not have a game where you have to find and drive to the hospital before your wife delivers her baby? Now that would be fun! Rather than compete against other racers, you'd have to avoid getting arrested by keeping below the speed limit, obeying right-of-way laws, and not tailgating. Any foul-up, and the cops will pull you over.
- And then after saying all that, he just goes back to talking about the game as if he didn't say anything.
- "So which will it be?
PlayStation, Jaguar, M2, or Saturn? The answer is: none of the above. There's another advanced gaming system that will win the war, and it's Virtual Boy."- George goes on to state that he thinks the PlayStation (which curb-stomped basically everything mentioned on that list) will come in second, and that the M2 will come in last. To his credit, he was technically right on the M2.....as it never got released.
- The EarthBound (1994) review, where he says that you can play the game in one hand and eat a pizza with the other, like so.
- From his GoldenEye review being baffled from the Repeat Cut edit from the bungee jumping sequence:The camera is all screwed up! He jumps! He jumps again, from a different angle! What the heck?! Is this some new funky directing style, or what? Okay enough of Bond.
- Speaking of being baffled, during his review of A Bug's Life, he notices that the gameplay of the floating across the chasm level doesn't match the cutscene of the same event and says this.
Hello?! We already crossed the river! Who's been messing with the space-time continuum? Hello? Mcfly? Is anybody home?
