I was surprised at Just Cause 2 being at the top of the list.

Bioshock 2 didn't surprise me at all when it showed up, though. He made no secret of his disdain for it.

i can agree with his GOTY JC 2 was immense fun and still is for me (mind you i only got it a couple weeks ago).

But Fable 3 dont deserve the hate cause i thoroughly enjoyed it but thats my personal opinion was a good laugh Co-op just playin about with friends.Altho there was some missed potential, its kinda undeserving of itshate :S

Eh, strange list but to be expected. Dont agree that Metroid Other M plays like crap either.

Kane and Lynch 2 I cant really judge other than the demo. But the demo, was pretty god damn atrocious.

Come on games like FF13 and Bioshock the worst of the year is crazy. In the same aspect games like DR2 and JC2 the best? No way But everyone can have their own opinion and those are his. I just really disagree with it.

An odd list to say the least... but then again, I've never been one to share his taste in gaming.

Dead Rising at number 2. The game was such a piece of trash.

Other M really wasn't that bad at all; probably one of my favorite games this year even, with FFXIII up there too. Never did agree with this guy anyway, but he can still be fun to watch from time to time.

A few notes: 1. He used music from Conker's Bad Fur Day. Which was weird. 2. I like that he can't say the word "Amnesia" right. 3. Finally, I still think this guy has poor taste. DR2 is on the good list while BioShock 2 is on the bad? Sorry, but BioShock 2 made more fundamental improvements and added a surprisingly functional multiplayer mode along with some great DLC. I'm not saying its a classic, but in terms of improvements, its not really a farcry from Dead Rising. :?

I guess we shouldn't be surprised his goty was Just Cause 2 considering that he picked Saints Row 2 one year. Very shallow, crazy, hilarious, fun games. I have to admit there is something noble about a game like that compared to a game like GTA4 that is trying to be dark and deep while trying to tie in all that seriousness with a crazy ass sandbox environment that is just pure insanity. SR2 and JC2 aren't pretending to be anything more than what they are

With his review style I understand the Top 5. Bottom 5 I'm a little surprised, but not completely.

I'm surprised, too, but I must say I enjoyed it more than most games. It's been a long time since I had so much fun with a game.

That's because Dead Rsiing 1 was vastly superior to Bioshock anyway, so DR2 didnt need huge improvemnts to beat Bioshock...

I've always wondered if he actually believes everything he says or he just says these things for comedic value.

His complaint with Bioshock 2 is that the story was so bad that the game was unnecessary and retroactively made the original worse.

with a lot of reviewers they try to be objective and judge a game by standards. Yahtzee is just a guy who is expressing his personal opinions with no pretentions to objectivity

There is a lot I don't agree with but he is entitled to his opinion and it is most obvious that this is one man's personal taste and not a neutral judgement so it is fair enough.

I LOVED Bioshock 2. I disliked Just Cause 2 because it had the same problems as its predecessor. Too big, not enough to do. Not tight enough. But I respect him for telling it like he wants. No sense of diplomacy, no reason for it in his case.

exactly, and the absolute crap that was bioshock 2's multiplayer is in no way an advantage, dead rising's co-op was a lot more smooth and enjoyable experience.

Glad Amnesia made it on the best list games deserves more praise but the rest of the list is just Weird and Kayne and lynch 2 isn't such a bad game.
