I find it entertaining has hell because very few games cannot be flawed. In fact, games are made by human beings therefore they will be flawed.

I like how "Yahtzee" just rambles on and if you can get five percent of any of it then you will find an amusing antidote by a frustrated gamer that's not afraid to piss others off.

What do you think of his reviews?

I pretty much agree with you one hundred percent. sometimes he says things that never occurred to me until they were pointed out.

if you don't look at him as the end all answer to whether or not a game is good, and instead just get a laugh out of his observations, he's great. it also helps if you've played the games that he;s talking about, so you can say "hah, I remember that part!"

I never liked ZP, I'm not sure why. Something about the voice, and the content of the "reviews" bug me.

Pure Pwnage parodied it in the last episode, calling him "Nahtzee" and making him sound like an asshole.

I really like his reviews, mainly because he sometimes takes a deeper look at them instead of just giving an arbitrary number to everything, only skimming the surface of the game.

Yeah same here, and nothing he says is really wrong about a game so you can't really fault him.

I watch him more for entertainment than for serious reviews, but I find him hilarious.
