Shryke Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Interesting column. The first few are funny, if forgettable. But the last 3-4 are quite insightful. His comments on 'Splosion Man especially are so dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Wolfenstein. In limerick form. Amusing. But I think he's becoming a bit over-familiar now. Arkham Asylum next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Arkham Asylum. He liked it! Kind of. Which led to probably the pettiest list of complaints ever, since he acknowledges the no-one watches his videos to hear him gush with praise over things. When he started bitching about the box art for lack of anything else to moan about, you knew he really liked this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah, it's a great game. I completed the story a few days ago and finished finding all the riddler challenges last night. Now I'm looking forward to a load of fun playing the challenges to get the 100% completion (me and a mate spent about 2 hours just playing the first challenge over and over).

Werthead Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Guitar Hero 5 versus Rock Band: The Beatles. Yahtzee seems to be going off the whole rock band thing a bit, but still amusing. But seriously, who in their right mind does a Beatles music game and doesn't include 'Eleanor Rigby' or 'All You Need is Love'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 There's also a distinct lack of "Rock Band" instruments in Eleanor Rigby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 There's also a distinct lack of "Rock Band" instruments in Eleanor Rigby. As he points out, there are already a number of songs where your 'guitar' gets to magically sound like a piano or synth anyway, so that's probably not a major problem. EDIT: They haven't got 'Let It Be' on either the disc or the DLC? What the fuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 A game I have never ever heard of, called Darkest of Days. Which is apparently a time travel FPS where you can kill Confederate soldiers with a microwave gun from space. What? He also goes a bit easy on them for being an indie start-up company, which is unusually sporting of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurktan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 As he points out, there are already a number of songs where your 'guitar' gets to magically sound like a piano or synth anyway, so that's probably not a major problem. EDIT: They haven't got 'Let It Be' on either the disc or the DLC? What the fuck? Didn't notice this complaint till now. The guitar does occasionally get charted to piano or synth. However there is also no drums or bass in Elanor Rigby. Bass again you may be able to chart to a different instrument, however the drums have not been charted to any different instrument in Rock Band 1, 2 or Beatles. Thus it cannot be a song that comes with the game. Much like the one song that can be played in regular Rock Band with no drums it will only be as DLC. All you need is love has been released for the 360 as DLC for a two month exclusive period where all sales go to a charity. Let It Be wouldn't fit into the system they have for the songs in story mode, because it was written later it would have needed to be placed in the Rooftop Concert venue and thats just fricken stupid. So it likely will be DLC later on as well. Me I'm looking forward to having the whole Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers and Rubber Soul albums by christmas.

Renasko Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Another unfamiliar game reviewed this week. Surprised he bothered reviewing a DS game. Apparently the game received good reviews, other than Yahtzee's. I don't really care myself. Handheld gaming is not for me. But as far as his review itself, it was pretty so-so. Hardly amusing.

Werthead Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I liked the depiction of the two warring factions as a retelling of the eternal class struggle between the working class and privileged elite, not to mention the constant bigging-up of the much-undervalued Luigi. And yes, if you shave Mario's moustache off he does look disturbingly like Leisure Suit Larry. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon AS Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Brütal Legend is his victim of choice this week. He's not impressed, thinks its mix of genres is rather half-arsed (particularly the RTS aspect) and that there's way too little information on what the player is supposed to be doing. The funniest bit is that he actually pronounces the umlaut in the title correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altherion Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The funniest bit is that he actually pronounces the umlaut in the title correctly. The one of the ending panels says "I studied German, alright? I refuse to let an umlaut go unpronounced". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon AS Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I read that. But since it's at the end I was genuinely surprised when I first heard it. Pronouncing "Metal Umlaute" correctly is generally funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
