You know, I think Yahtzee himself said that he's a critic on several occasions. That's what he does is criticize, and he does it in a humorous way. He also tosses in the merits of a game amongst the bile and frankly, I consider him much more reliable than any of the other reviewers on the site, who all seem too keen on polishing the apple unless there's no possible way they can justify it. Or at least that's how it is in their video "supplements." I've been going through them out of sheer boredom today, and it's really starting to irk me with all the "this game adds nothing to gaming or its own series, but that's vaguely okay somehow" or "well, the game sucks, but listen to that soundtrack. Mmmmmm, soundtrack..." bull that really makes it all sound very castrated and wimpy, like they're afraid of getting their houses burned down. Yahtzee doesn't pussyfoot around like that.


Edit: Jordan Deam is probably the best non-Yahtzee reviewer in terms of honesty. The editor seems way too keen on spinning games to make even the flaws sound good, while the only female of the bunch seems to like everything unless it's outright sexist, and while she's not terrible, I feel like I have to take what she says with a grain of salt.
