Where would we be without Yahtzee and his infinitely entertaining
Zero Punctuation reviews? Well, truthfully, we'd be in exactly the same place we are now, but we'd be somewhat less entertained. This week, Zero Punctuation takes on
Clive Barker's Jericho and it's an absolute hate-fest. Seriously, ZP usually has a few "it's not
that bad" moments, but not this week. If you like
Jericho -- not very likely, looking at the statistics -- you'd best avert your gore-loving eyes. Us, we're just glad to have something to brighten up an otherwise dull Wednesday (seriously, did you
try this week's XBLA games?).

I rather liked the revenge of the brown castle level. Try to name another game with a huge brown castle level.

Yahtzee is right 100% of the time, all the time.
I'm fairly certain he's stealing my thoughts and opinions.
Anyone that disagree's with him is one of the following:
1) An idiot.
2) 15 Years or younger.
3) A mindless fanboy.
4) A blatant brit hater.
Seriously. Dont hate him just because he points out the obviously flaws in obvious games.
Oh, and jericho was fucking terrible.

I'm not hating him for Jericho. He has always been a fucking prick from the git go.

That review was hilarious, Monster Mash FTW!
@Token White Guy
So, you hate the guy himself, not his work, then my friend I have the solution for you.
Don't watch his videos or read articles about him.
Now is not that hard is it?

I agree very much with everything he says, especially this review. It is one of the worst games I've ever played. Number 4, Sam, is correct also.

@10, I have....to agree.
Anyway, fantastic review once again. No sugar coating just straight up and in your face. And bang on target almost most of the time.

I Love, LOVE these reviews - even when he puts down games that I like, I still very much enjoy the style of these.
Disclaimer: I'm not talking about liking Jericho, but other games.

I don't really know of any game reviewing assholes that get girls. They kind of cancel each other out.
Personally, these reviews aren't for me. I do kind of feel bad for the rest of the Escapist team that have essentially been overshadowed by this guy's complete dislike of everything.
