It is, it's supposed to be comedy. Anyone who uses his videos as reviews is daft.

I find it much more funny to watch one of his 'reviews' after playing the game rather than before a game.

Aye, I think this is why he does them a while after a game has been out. Gives people time to play it, then look back on it with a comedic scrutiny as all the flaws of the game that bugged them are joked about. :)
 
His reviews are always spot on. He says what other reviewers cant because there paid to give it a good review.
 
His negative points are usually pretty accurate, however that doesn't mean his reviews are. He doesn't really look at the positives, or at the whole game experience. I can't imagine anyone uses them as a serious review.

yeah true, i thought the COD4 one was funny as hell but anyone who hadnt played it wouldn't really get it. Just like I didnt find the metal gear solid 4 one funny as I have not played any of them :o

Actually does anyone know of any other type sites/vids like that, only other one I watch now and then is angry video game nerd

His review of the game was actually 100% spot on, as in 'nailhithead' spot on. I couldn't disagree with a single negative point he made about the game, because it was all true. His taste in gaming is near-impeccable, so much so that the average gamer nowadays* probably thinks he has **** taste in games simply (WARNING: possible controversial statement ahead) because they have little or no comprehension of what good games really are (Psychonauts wha?), and lack an intimate understanding of the history of gaming and what makes games good. I'd call him a connoisseur, and I say that with no hint of mockery. I'm also insanely jealous of his language skills, which border on the freakishly genius. The man is easily one of the funniest people I have ever seen (listened, read, whatever), and that includes many of todays comedy greats.

^^^^^
Serious post.

Yikes. I'm a big fan of ZP, but that's bordering on obsessive. He's got a good grasp of the English Language, but freakishly genius? Not really. He's hardly a poet. One of the funniest people ever? How often do you actually laugh during his videos? For me it's not actually all that often, or that much.

And all that "connoisseur" stuff? As if. The man has tastes in video games that evidently match your own. That does not make his opinion the be all and end all of what's good, and does not give you the right to be so condescending of today's teens.
