The crew is still trying to find a balance between being TV hosts and just talking, and some bits fall flat. But Yahtzee (and the offbeat topics) would probably be enough reason for us to tune in. Watch after the break and see if you agree.

I think the idea is good, but it needs a bit more tweaking to fit a format that actually works, and there's only really one format for tech that works time and time again.
Top Gear.
Somehow, Clarkson, Hammond and May have created a show about cars that millions of people (that don't like cars) love. Yahtzee provided the comedy, but he was the only one that really provided the entertainment factor. Hundreds of straight video game programmes have aired and the majority of them fall flat on their faces, so why not a comedy one?
Get a couple of writers in to write some jokes that every one will understand, tell the other two to lighten up a bit, ditch the sketches and stick to the harsh reviewing technique that Yahtzee has made his own.
Hopefully it'll get picked up, because there are no good video game shows out there right now.

This is utter crap. he is a one trick pony and a poor mans Charlie Brooker. the 15 minutes is up. and these other 2 poor excuses of space are exactly the type of people who help portray the industry as a bunch of unprofesional fanboys who gigle and splurt awkwardly when put infront of a camera. When we have so many talented developers and interesting people within the industry who deserve to be heard it is always sad that this waste is what all too often floats to the surface.

He does look a lot better in his cartoons.
This show is G4 bad. Shame on Yahtzee for doing this unfunny garbage.

I couldn't make it past 10 seconds. Yahtzee should be heard not seen.
Production values are bad and they all look awkward.
