I'm amazed at how much I agree with him on Bioshock, though I found it to be a very difficult game... if you insist on never dying. If you don't care about dying, it's retardedly easy. I also found it hilarious how I could always escape combat and heal by taking the time to fix a camera while hovering in mid-air.

I like how System Shock 2 almost never paused the game for anything-made for a more tense atmosphere.

Still the best game to come out in the last few years, easily (and certainly a bit better than a game he flashed there for a bit, STALKER), though.

He didn't say STALKER was better. He simply said that STALKER was a more complex game (more RPG elements). Which is absolutely correct.

I'd have to say that I don't fully agree with some of his points. I don't feel Bioshock was dumbed down in the same way that Deus Ex 2 was, for instance. I appreciated them when they were there, but I can't say I completely missed things like having an inventory. I think that would've made things potentially worse in Bioshock. Yahtzee treats complexity like it's a virtue, while I think it has a more modular application.

Maybe a 'bit' better, but just a bit, if that. Aside from the technical problems, STALKER was amazing, and did a number of things Bioshock should have done. Such as having an inventory, and never pausing while checking your PDA. No goddamn vital chambers also. Though maybe I just was put off by how console friendly Bioshock turned out.

Well, companies that hire people to produce content for them usually don't like it when the content gets put up on sites like YouTube (especially when it's available for free at their own site) and doesn't give them any traffic or commerce.

The Bioshock review was hilarious, and has passed Twing Twang as my favorite one of his so far :)

I've tried, but their site didn't load for me (and it still crawls right now).

Luckily, someone has uploaded it.

I agree with every single point he makes about Bioshock, both good and bad. But he illustrates it in a much funnier way than I ever could. :(

And here I thought I was the only one who found the game to be remarkably easy.

Yup, I have to agree once again.

My main gripe with Bioshock was that it gave you all the "options" regardless of which plasmids you used. In Deus Ex for example some paths like hacking etc. were only available if you specialized in that area, sacrificing something else. In Bioshock everything is there from the get-go and all you're influencing is how you're killing opponents and taking some strain away from say hacking (and open the occasional secret room), that took some satisfaction away from me since I want my choices to have an impact on the game.

That said I still loved the game, but it didn't live up to the depth in Deus Ex, nor the gunplay in Half-Life which puts it somewhere in the middle ground.

I love this guy, but the console one is weak. It's just a summary of tired, fallacious fanboy accusations that are repeated daily. The worst being the incredibly myopic and idiotic "waggle" nonsense. Whereas his game reviews are hilarious accounts of his experiences while playing the software in question and seem much more personal and genuine.

It's the little girl holding up a 6.0 reflecting the quality of the GROINKICK~, a la figure skating. I think after the stuff he says in the beginning, having a 6.0 review score would be sort of... uh, anachronistic?

I still had some issues of PC Zone dating back to when Charlie Brooker wrote for them, until a few months ago (must have been nearly ten years ago now, come to think of it...). Think i chucked 'em out when i was clearing out some shelves, though.
