Ok, I'm sure some of you have heard of him, but I just think he should get the amount of attention he deserves. There is a man by the name of Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw and he does the best video reviews/previews/random rants i have every seen. Everyone should check out his website if you haven't already. Below I have the link to his website and a few of his videos that aren't on the website.

*On a side note, I just thought I would mention that playing "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly at the end of the Psychonauts review is the single greatest way to end any review. ever.

This guy deserves an oscar nominee in the comedy division. He tells it as it is and I can never watch one of his reviews without laughing.

Heheh, yep, found him after someone linked his Bioshock review last week. Watched the lot. Normally I find I'm pretty hard to amuse, but his stuff actually has me LMAO-ing a lot. Loved the Psychonauts and Console Wars ones in particular! :D

I'm not seeing the review. I only see a big logo and a blurb about the writer.

Why's he gotta talk so damned fast?

Most of the comments he made about The Darkness were just related to how bad he was at the game.

Packt

He uses no punctuation.

Plus his review of the Darkness was just about the demo, which you have to agree had some flaws.

I know this post is long over, but everyone owes it to themselves to watch his Halo 3 review.
