    House of the Dead Overkill on the Wii. I laughed a few times at this one, a real return to form.

    It was, wasn't it :D And yet, you just know some people would get their knickers in a twist over this!

    Yup least Yathzee responded to the critics with his last two videos! Back on form from the great one.

    ahahahaha another gem

    This week's was good alright - anyone read the text in the end about him thinking that it's the same country as COD4 and it's a prequel which has caused the instability that leads to the war in COD4 :)

    Also, the closing line was stolen from South Park, but was no less funny for it :)

    Haha, by far his best in ages!
    Loved the "not racist" frames he chopped into it:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101

    Given where Yahtzee hails from, it's not entirely unreasonable to think this is where he took inspiration from ;)

    Jimbo: But then you had us do all that for nothin'. Don't you see - if you get rich sellin' these homes, then there will still be rich people in South Park.
    Randy Marsh: Yeah. You'd become what you hate.
    [Mr. Garrison pauses]
    Mr. Garrison: Well yeah, but at least I got rid of all those damn ni-
    [credits roll]

    The whole thing really was leading up to that joke alright.

    Resi.5

    buffering in the background now...

    lmao...I thought it was good. Never a big fan of the RE series myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    while I disagree with his dislike of earlier resident evil titles (2 has a special place in my heart) he is pretty spot on with 5.

    And funny

    Man the Irish lads of De-Rez do some really good skits, bit hit and miss though but some are just hilarious.

    Don't think they're Irish man they're British by the sounds of it.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    The whole series has been a mix of broken game mechanics & schoolboy storytelling since the start, so I don't get the surprise that RE5 sucks ;) Man I'm still shaking my head over Resident Evil: Degeneration (the CGI movie). Yeesh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    yes the movie was god awful

    I think 2 is the best because its the only one in the series where you dont have some take over the world villian behind the events of the game.

    Its an actual biohazard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,710 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    It will always be one for me.

    Giant Snakes, Flame/Acid/Explosive Rounds, Barry, The Wesker double cross, Hunters.

    What a game. It will be my first US PSN store purchase when it goes up.

    Good Resi 5 review, inventory is definitely an annoyance worth ranting about.

    Damn Creme Eggs....
