You're joking, right? Besides the presence of a foreign accent, there is no similarity between that and Zero Punctuation.

The thing I like about this guy, is that while his reviews do tend to have a dark slant to them, virtually all of his comments actually have some merit to them,
and unlike some other "angry reviewers" the reviews don't use outbursts of rage as filler for actual content.

You forgot the bad animation and pointless rambling. The difference is he's combined this with angry video game rants. Which have also been done before.

That said, I do like a lot of the visual gags. It's easy to be cynical, but his presentation and delivery is better than most.

The new review is so greatness!

This guy is awesome, and the new review may be my favorite ever. But I say that every week.

Yahtzee doesn't seem to go on "pointless" rants, as whatever he's talking about is always at least closely related to the game in question. I know it's cool to dislike things that other people like, but you're not giving him enough credit. ;)

Perhaps. I mean, I like the guy, and his games are great, but even so, he's not the second coming of sliced bread like most of this thread would have you believe.

I just think he's funny, and his opinions about games almost exactly match mine.

I consider the animation style different enough to not warrant direct comparison. In fact I wouldn't really qualify most of the ZP visuals as animation, more like a rapid fire slide show.
And yes, the concept has been done before, but he's doing the old shtick fairly well and it may not be revolutionary but it's worth watching.

Yathzee fo Prez '08. He isteh greatest.

No Really, the guy is just very witty. And about my favorite thing. Video Games. That equals a win for me. Not epic. Just everyday, ordinary win.
