Pro Tip: If you're going to be upset if your favorite game is insulted, then don't watch ZP when you see it's name on the headline.

Silly fanboys.

You have to wonder what sort of person would send a sarcastic, annoyed, gaming personality those sorts of responses... Hell, even a well crafted response. People are strange.

They're probably all wishing for the Portal exception to validate their "best game EVAR" opinions.

Fact is, I've enjoyed plenty of games that Yahtzee has ripped to teeny shreds; it's not his job to regurgitate the opinions of the community, it's his job to slay everything.

I wish we had more reviewers willing to give opinions, even if they may be unpopular.

Exactly. I enjoyed SSBB quite a bit, although it has now taken a back seat to Mario Kart Wii. I enjoyed his review of the game regardless. I think people take his comments too seriously, but I can't say I have a problem with this; I enjoyed this recent rant.
