I like this one :lol:
The review code press pack for this is genuinely wonderful. Real wool! Real brown, slightly smelly wool!

Can't say I've looked at it. If it's just one of those "hate everything oh-so-wittily" sites then we probably won't bother sending them aught if it won't be useful.

I can't see videos on this machine, pimped up security and blockers at max so no flash/etc.

But now I think I recognize seeing the thing who's this, I think I saw that famous video about HL2 and Portal.

Say .. is his speciality to take out "all the worst he can" about a thing and shape it up in a video super full of sarcasm ?

It might be worth a go in this (very specific) case. While Yahtzee's whole schtick is to rip stuff apart, he admits it up front and is also very funny about doing it. Plus it's unquestionably high profile, and he loves his arcade gaming. If he's amenable to the idea I'd recommend it for the exposure if nothing else. Plus you might get lucky and he'll do one of his rare raves.

When he likes things he's sure to tell you about them. His latest Batman review is the perfect example of that. He won't rip appart GRR just because it's funny. If he criticises anything it's because he sees it as a problem.

If he gets a lot of his jollies and notoriety from pulling stuff apart I don't see that it'd be useful to give him the opportunity, at least until the game is already well out. I'll be concentrating on getting the game out to proper, non-comedy reviewers first.

He did - his review was very good - childish hidden messages aside.

But he threw his toys out of the pram later on.
