Zero Punctuation lambasts Clive Barker's Jericho

by Richard Mitchell on Nov 14th 2007 5:30PM

Where would we be without Yahtzee and his infinitely entertaining Zero Punctuation reviews? Well, truthfully, we'd be in exactly the same place we are now, but we'd be somewhat less entertained. This week, Zero Punctuation takes on Clive Barker's Jericho and it's an absolute hate-fest. Seriously, ZP usually has a few "it's not that bad" moments, but not this week. If you like Jericho -- not very likely, looking at the statistics -- you'd best avert your gore-loving eyes. Us, we're just glad to have something to brighten up an otherwise dull Wednesday (seriously, did you try this week's XBLA games?).

I rather liked the revenge of the brown castle level. Try to name another game with a huge brown castle level.

"I could go on with the stupid design decisions......pause.....so I will"

lol that was hilarious, can't wait to see Assassin's Creed review

Yahtzee can go choke on a dick for all I care.

Token White Guy, you're not but hurt, are you?

Yahtzee is right 100% of the time, all the time.

I'm fairly certain he's stealing my thoughts and opinions.

Anyone that disagree's with him is one of the following:

1) An idiot.
2) 15 Years or younger.
3) A mindless fanboy.
4) A blatant brit hater.

Seriously. Dont hate him just because he points out the obviously flaws in obvious games.

Oh, and jericho was fucking terrible.

I'm not hating him for Jericho. He has always been a fucking prick from the git go.

That review was hilarious, Monster Mash FTW!

@Token White Guy

So, you hate the guy himself, not his work, then my friend I have the solution for you.

Don't watch his videos or read articles about him.

Now is not that hard is it?

I agree very much with everything he says, especially this review. It is one of the worst games I've ever played. Number 4, Sam, is correct also.

Wilson, I stopped watching his reviews. I just think he's an asshole.

This guy is the man. Keep em comming.

@8
Ever notice it's the assholes who get all the girls? ;)

@10, I have....to agree.

Anyway, fantastic review once again. No sugar coating just straight up and in your face. And bang on target almost most of the time.

Hmmm....

I don't think I am going to buy this game.

I Love, LOVE these reviews - even when he puts down games that I like, I still very much enjoy the style of these.

Disclaimer: I'm not talking about liking Jericho, but other games.

I lol'd.

-Brown Castle
-Greenish Brown Castle
-Brown Dungeon
-REVENGE of the Brown Castle

Once again, I lol'd.

I don't really know of any game reviewing assholes that get girls. They kind of cancel each other out.

Personally, these reviews aren't for me. I do kind of feel bad for the rest of the Escapist team that have essentially been overshadowed by this guy's complete dislike of everything.
