Zero Punctuation is an army of one in Army of Two

by Alexander Sliwinski { Apr 2nd 2008 at 4:00PM }

The normally solitary Yahtzee (he is a PC snob after all) takes on Army of Two this week, a game designed to be played co-op -- so we already know this is going to end badly. After becoming frustrated with his computer partner's AI, he decides to invite a friend over and proceeds to become frustrated with his human companion's abilities as well. Like any listener of the Joystiq Podcast already knows, Army of Two has a lot of issues, the least of which is forgetting that for a co-op action shooter it sort of missed the boat on creating an enjoyable co-op experience.

This week's NSFW review of Army of Two can be found after the break. Watch it with a friend, or if you're a PC gamer your favorite plant.*

*Oh, calm down ... this is coming from the blogger who can spend days playing Civilization IV and Sins of a Solar Empire.

Yet another poor game out there? Sheesh! Give Yahtzee a break devs.

I've always wondered how games can sneak out broken. It's probably good to be your own publisher (Nintendo, um, EA?) because you're not being face ridden to quick-buck ville (EA).

Not a bad one. Seemed Yahtzee was slower but not sure - ah who cares. Kudos from the start to the end with the song selection. Funny as usual. This guy needs to do more game journalism. What is his written humour like? Porbably only works well if can read 400 words/minute though, right?
