He put a little note about it at the end of his latest video which basically amounted to "Interesting".
He basically said "So DNF is being made by the guys who did Blue Shift. That doesn't bode well" and "They also made Borderlands. That really doesn't help".
Also, brace for the inevitable claims of it being a Dethroning moment that he blamed Kane & Lynch 2 on Square Enix, when the first was already made before Square bought them and so therefore nothing they did impacted on the game at all.
They made Opposing Force. That was a good game.
Transformers fans are sensitive about the show being a toy commercial? I thought they embraced that part long ago and keep buying the toys.

Hm. Yahtzee and I disagree on a number of things, but I must admit I couldn't have said it better myself when he said "Shut up! This is a game! Games are fun!"
I have a message from another time...
That's it really, isn't it? I want to have fun playing a game. A game can be many different things, the story can be deep, frothy or non-existent but it should always be fun to play. That's what I like about Yahtzee. In-between all the crap that spews out of his mouth (and some shit certainly does) * he does hit the nail on the head sometimes.
Should I even bother watching this week's episode, or does he spend the entire video bitching about the Wii's hardware?
Actually, he doesn't say anything regarding the shortcomings of the Wii in this week's video.
and that's how Equestria was made!

Positively surprised by the lack of Wii bashing and sticking to solid criticism while staying funny. One of the better ZPs and probably the best Accentuate the Negative review of Other M I've seen.
READY!

Oh get over youirself.
I identify as a geek not a nerd. Do I go back Friday? I'm so confused.

Problem?
Watched the Other M Review recently.
It's one of the better ZP Reviews out there, as I kept on giggling about the whole "Retard Hats" thing, and the ending is funny as hell!

Watched the Other M review. It was witty and full of true, original observations.

You misspelled Sincerity Mode
Especially considering my ingrained feminist sensitivities, if I played it, I'd probably (99.9% chance) end up completely agreeing with Yahtzee on how badly Samus's characterization was treated.

Hmm. People keep saying that any characterisation should be treated as good, but if we wouldn't tolerate this from a new series, why would we tolerate it from an old one?
^Who says that? The way I see it characterization is just another tool. It can be used well or poorly.
Hoo boy, as soon as I saw the title I knew this review was gonna be fun.
Yahtzee seems to agree with most of the complaints everyone else has- namely that there's nothing wrong with introducing writing and voices and whatever unless you do it badly, which is that Other M did.
I think I'll give this game a miss and save myself more whining.
...So did anyone else see the message at the end of the video?
I refer you to my comment above.
Does anyone know if he has said anything about Duke Nukem Forever coming out? I keep imagining him sputtering out incomprehensible shock.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
