Zero Punctuation - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Zero Punctuation is a collection of video reviews created by by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, who is known in the freeware adventure game circles for his Rob Blanc trilogy and his 5 Days A Stranger series.

If you've ever wished to see a fast-talking Brit take the piss out of your favourite game with the aid of crappy Flash illustrations, this is the site for you.

And if you're wondering about the name, go watch a video. Understanding will follow very swiftly.

He's pretty funny in most reviews. Some have me laughing out loud at work. His review of Smash Brothers is hilarious.

Esoteric · 05-08-2008, 05:43 AM

Never found him to be funny at all. Just annoying, heh.

I think his reviews are pretty funny, it's just that 75% of the time he's reviewing FPS games that I have no interest in playing.
The only times I've agreed with him is in his No More Heroes and Smash Bros. reviews. If you're a Wii owner, No More Heroes is one of the best underrated games available to you, while Smash Bros. is probably the most overhyped.

Haha. The one on Guitar Hero III had me rolling!

It is good stuff. I don't play the games but I love listening to the reviews.

Doesn't someone have an avatar of ZP here at TFP?
