Zero Punctuation - must watch reviews!!
This was linked on Slashdot today and probably elsewhere but I thought I'd pimp it here because I just watched it and its frickin hilarious!
Its basically some short 5min game reviews done by a chap named Ben Croshaw for Escapist Magazine. They're done in the rapid british comedy style and are genuinely funny. Apparently he lives in Australia now too. So far there are 3 videos and all of them had me laughing my ass off!!!  Check it out: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...eropunctuation

I hope he'll be successful, there are very few (if any) people like him in the game-review business. Its a fresh change compared to reviewers who mostly gave too much praise even for a rather average game...... *cough cough Gamespot*

Wow. Just Wow. Finally someone who is funny, honest and actually knows about what makes up a good game. Add that he's happy to list both the pros and cons of good cames, and you have a winner.
That he's Australian is just the icing on the cake.

holy shit.
says what we all think whilst throwing in some dylan moran + maddox style humour. no doubt there's going to be a whole lot of spin off imitators if he gets some serious success. |
