Hmmm... perhaps I Painkiller is worth a try. I like good reviewers on old games.

PR0F3TA5819d ago

you should def try it... i totally forgot about this game. Its like an all balls out game in hell and you shoot all sorts of demonds and even battle the devil at the end, and hes HUGE and i mean effing HUGE!

ahh the memories

Charlie26885819d ago

Painkiller + Expansion are such a BLAST there is nothing more fun than butchering HUNDREDS of enemies onscreen and also the game never has a dull moment since one minute you are fighting witches and demons on a medieval castle and next thing you know you are fighting some crazy soldiers on a military base or some cult member on a Opera House! also the variety and bizarreness of the games guns adds a LOT like my favorite a minigun with a F_CKING rocket launcher attached

did I mentioned the boss battles are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE?

Does everybody actually watch these?

jadenkorri5819d ago (Edited 5819d ago )

his reviews are hilarious and honest, most of his reviews i agree with, and i convert every one to mpeg1 to put on my ps3, so i can load them up anytime

BTW people do watch these, the site was actually so busy i couldn't watch the video until a cpl mins ago

Silellak5819d ago (Edited 5819d ago )

I am a n00b, so if you could tell me how to convert his videos to an MPEG, you would be the greatest human being ever to exist on the planet ever.

I really want videos of all his stuff on my iPod Touch.

g3nkie5819d ago

Isn't it funny that G4 uses his reviews on XPlay? I don't know...sounds kind of funny to me..

kingme715819d ago

I honestly cannot understand him when XPlay shows a portion of his review. When I watch them online, they are much easier to follow. I don't know what it is, maybe on my couch my brain slows way down.

Adamalicious5819d ago

I would guess that The Escapist only allows them to show a preview because they actually want people to visit their site to see the whole thing - as opposed to seeing the whole thing on TV and then never going to their site and saying things like "The Escapist? What's that?"

Once People Can Fly left this franchise, it became stale and developed by nearly anyone willing to make more levels for the game that should of stayed as mods. That's great for community and publisher, but the problem is, any game after Battle Out Of Hell is pretty diabolical and full of bugs also, you never play as Daniel.

Letros4819d ago

^^ This

The only Painkiller anyone should buy is Painkiller: Black Edition

Do Zero Punctuation Reviews Affect Game Sales?

Charismatic stallion Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw skyrocketed to fame with his hilariously degrading reviews of some of the most industry's most popular games, which tend to unknowingly provide him crappy gameplay joke material. NewTeeVee, intrigued by the Yahtzee's popularity, studied sales data for both Painkiller and Xbox Live Arcade's Braid, two titles reviewed positively by Yahtzee, to see if his videos affected game sales.

"I don't see any real case for Zero Punctuation increasing sales by a lot," stated Braid creator Jonathan Blow on the lack of a Yahtzee-created increase in sales of his downloadable game. "There definitely isn't a visible sales spike or anything like that."

I hope not. At first he was funny but now it seems like he's trying to hate every game as much as he can and talk only about the bad stuff.

I think it's ok to do this with games like MoH or Turok or Heavenly Sword or Army of Two, but hating on games like MGS4 is just wrong

poopsack5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

i thought he was doing that from day one. the guy doesnt enjoy games, why play them?, more importantly, why review them?

Timesplitter145639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

Well... yeah you're right, actually.

The only games he didn't hate were Half-Life 2, SotC and Bioshock. They're great games, absolutely great, but his hatred towards ANYTHING ELSE is getting annoying

DreamcastFanboy5639d ago

you might as well ask does bad reviews of wii music affect the game sales also.

Surviver5639d ago

personally no.

just because it is for entertainment, and is really really awesome.
and it makes it even better when you own or have played the game ha

he is actually..

incredible.
anybody who takes it as anything more than a funny negative opinion,
is a c*nt.
