    Now this I've gotta see...

    Edit: Blahhh. He depressed me. Haha. I'm excited and he ain't gonna dampen my spirit. I realize the game's not for everyone -- I tend to gravitate toward such games and love them all the more for it.

    Loved the bit at the start though.

        Nah I do it all the time. Lots to do, y'know.

        Yeah but its like, everything reviewers have complained about with the game, they are things I like about it. I like the blinding whiteness. Haha.

          Wow, you like being blinded? I must say the game itself is quite good and the graphics are fantastic, just the whiteness is INSANE, its like...how the hell does a city stay THAT WHITE?

          I want an explanation EA! NOW!

    Well personally I'm not blinded by it. I find it bright but not at all too bright. I like the look.

    It's a metaphor.
    Writers use that kind of stuff in literature all the time..I'm happy to see it in a video game.
    Also DICE developed it, not EA.

      DICE is associated with EA

        Yes but they are not EA.
        If you asked them about the game's aesthetic design, they'd say, "I have no clue because we didn't develop the game".

    EA owns DICE and publishes their games. In other words another reason for the logo of EA to pop up, especially on Battlefield Heroes.

    I love Croshaw and this has to be his funniest yet though he does have a point on the "lack of explanation" about packages and the police though

    also I love the fact he hasn't got much to say about Fallout 3 other than the common things it has with Oblivion

    Not to mention how it Fallout 3 relates with Bioshock.

    Well, like I've said because, Yahtzee is awesome because despite all the mean things he says about a game, they're usually true. Even if I enjoyed the game myself, he points out shortcomings that I also recognize. You can't deny that he makes good points in his reviews... unless you're a rabid fanboy.

    I felt the same way about Mirror's Edge, though he put it more eloquently in his review than I did in mine. XD

      lol

      Aye I do agree with most of the points he makes, whether I am a fanboy of a game or not. That's what I love about Croshaw, even though he slates/insults parts of a game, you know he has actually played the game and researched it enough to give that point rather than just shove it in the corner like a snotty nose brat sniveling for his mummy.

      I must stop watching Yahtzee, his insane rambling is contagious

    Anybody play any of Yahtzee's games? I played his Art of Theft or whatever it is called -- fun little game. Talented guy , for sure. I hope he eventually ends up in game design... I have a feeling he'd make an excellent game designer, and the world needs those even more than his hilarious game reviews, IMHO.

      He would make a horrible designer, he'd talk so fast none of his staff would have any idea what he's talking about

      Another funny review.

    I have never heard of Yahtzee (the company) until I saw this game. Apparently, this game is really good. I saw some people buy it yesterday.
