    Also, just so you don't think of him as a guy who just does funny video reviews, he has a homepage where you can see some of the adventure games he made (which a really bloody good!), and read some of his essays that he's written.

    His homepage: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com
    His Essays: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/essays/
    His Games: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/games.htm

    Check out his observations on whether Ninja's can Co-exist with Pirates.

    Thanks for this, there's a couple that I somehow managed to miss the first time around.
    Love the quote from the end of the Heavenly Sword(s) demo/Resi 5 one. "I don't think we need to start worrying about RE5 until they break out the fried chicken":p

    "Yahtzee you charismatic stallion"

    I like the end of the guitar hero one:

    "I'M NOT GAY!"

    Chaps, give the mans games a lash, especially 5 Days a Stranger. I defy anyone to finish it and not be highly impressed / aroused :P

    American GI at the MOH-Airborne Berlin Defence Tower : Well this hardly seems fair !.

    German at top of Berlin Defence Tower : 'Cry Mich Ein river'

    Very good review this week, you can tell he likes the game despite tearing it's flaws apart.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    Yeah good review plus his usually funny rants. Liked his take on Umbrella as well.

    Best part was last screen of end credits where he says

    "You lose your last millimetre of health to a zombie kittens piddle"

    Pure gold writing.

    Yeah, I love that series. I didn't realise that he'd made them until about a month ago.

    I only realised just now. Very impressed to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Ri_Nollaig


    lol @ "the EA strategy"
    another gem :D

    looking forward to his review of cod4 but he never seems to review the multiplayer aspect of games and that has to be cod4's strongest part...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Grim.


    lmao at the "EA Strategy"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭Jack Sheehan

    Unreasonably obsessed with CoD4? Irritated your favourite game reviewer has yet to review it? Stopped playing team deatchmatch for 4 minutes and 10 seconds because your eyes are bleeding?
    Here you go.
    He liked it
