Zero Punctuation: Tales Of Monkey Island

This week Yahtzee reviews the new Monkey Island game in a FUCKING BRILLIANT IRISH ACCENT and we learn a little something about his ancestry (hint: not Irish).

We all know Curse of Monkey Island was the best game in the series, yahtzee, stop pretending otherwise.

TOMI is surprisingly good imo; all the "original" voices are there, it's fun and it feels like a classic Monkey Island game.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to eat some potatoes and beat my wife for the 6th time today.

^Stop pretending you're Irish, we all know that seeing as how you're a Norse viking, you're more likely to rape her and pillage your own living room anyway.

From a similar point of view as yahtzee - i first played it when i was a bit young to understand the wit, but replays in later years while a little tired really showed me the genius wit behind it.

I rather enjoyed it. I had to seriously suspend my expectations of a painfully witty and clever game which made me laugh almost as much as it had me scratching my head, but it was alright.

Not bad. It was indeed trying a leeeetle hard to reference the older games and often you didn't have time to get a joke before it was explained to you in detail.

So overall, while fairly funny, i think the review itself didn't quite explain what an old fan might expect from the new games. Needed a better conclusion to bring the points together.

I'm not sure whether you were joking about the accent being brilliant edd... hope not

His best one of recent work. The "slimy white burst of fan-wank circling the shower drain" line had me rolling. He reminds me of Dennis Miller's style; with the esoteric references. That was before Miller turned into the aforementioned slimy white burst of fan-wank.
