Doesn't sound like he played that much to be honest. He mentions the Vault, and level 4, but not much else telling of someone who's played it for an extended amount of time.

Not that I take that to mean anything in particular, but his reviews are usually better when he's explored the ins and outs or something, or makes fun of something he professes to haven't given much time to like Eve. This seemed stuck in-between.

Good review considering that Yahtzee is a self admitted RPG hater (especially MMOs). That is about as close as he gets to admitting he likes a RPG so it was a good review.

He mentioned the most important thing... he has done this before, the comparrision of fallout 3 being oblivion with new wallpaper was spot on.

 

Every bug in oblvion is apperent in fallout 3.

TWILIGHT ONION!

When ben review's a game, most people sit back crack up and agree.. don't even notice all the crap he is saying about a game lots of people love. But god forbid one of us players tries to review a game and speak our mind about it, all of a sudden we are targets of hate/ flaming by the entire community.

are you really comparing yahtzee's reviews to raves and rants on this site? You're comparing apples with oranges

Yatzee reviews boarder on rants....

 

And every "Rant" on this website is a valid review,  a review is just someones opinion, its not like being a critic takes some special degree, if you have an opinion and write it up, regardless of how it sounds it is indeed a review.
