You'd think the least a show about cinematics could do (I'm looking at you, Unskippable) is level their own audio so you don't get blasted out of your chair by random bursts of volume.

If you even bothered to watch, turn your speakers down at around 5:10.

Michael Atkinson is a Christian Australian politician responsible for Australia being the only Western nation to ban games like Fallout 3 because they're supposedly adult oriented.

Fallout 3 had "simulated drug use" in the form of medical items that boost your abilities, but if you use them too much, your character gets addicted.

HOLY CRAP will the Escapist just give up with Unskippable? Really, the two ads they've had have been TERRIBLE... I mean, really, they are the sort of thing you find on youtube where a couple of 12 year olds have done voice overs with terrible microphones that came with their webcams.

They are not funny, not witty, not in any way intelligent or original.

Let it die, stop trying to make it successful, it NEVER WILL BE.

"This is NOT appropriate conflict resolution!"

Best line I've heard in his past few reviews!

Sadly, I think this will be the first one that I don't auto upvote... Getting rid of Unskippable would help, but otherwise I think these are getting played out. Prove me wrong, Yahtzee!

The main reason it took me a month to finish the game was I'd get fed up with the horrific camera movement and walk away for days. Note to the TR devs: Make the camera a fixed distance and have it not clip on object, end of problem! Is that so hard, it's been 9 games and you haven't figured that out yet?

Yahtzee may be right that Lara's jublees are the selling point for pubescent males, but I'm in my 30s, I got it because I like the games, and the Crystal Dynamics TR games have been the best of the series.

Who is that guy at 1:49? His face constantly comes up in ZP reviews but I've no idea who he is. The name Michael Atkinson comes up a lot but that face doesn't look like this guy:

Probably has my favorite quote Yahtzee's managed yet: "Shorter than a documentary of French war heroes."
(relax, my wife is French)
