    The Airborne was harsh but so damn true.
    Together with his Halo3, Orange box and Bioshock review he is easily my favorite reviewer.
    He speaks the truth in almost all cases.

    Yep, he is great. And what's best, he bashes console players! (And stereotypic americans, amongst others)

    his political stab at the Americans was ok but when he started reviewing the game it got hilarious
    I am on fire, but an extinguisher is not required.

    But it's very funny, you shouldn't take it to serious, because he critises all games but it's good to have someone who speaks about the bad sides of games.

    1) He lives in Australia.
    2) Watch his Psychonauts review. Then say they're all bad reviews.

    He also doesn't not like HL2: Episode 2, or Portal.

    And whoops, I thought he was Australian...

    Yes, if you noticed my use of the DOUBLE NEGATIVE, you would see that I'm actually agreeing with you.

    It wouldn't work if he didn't have the accent and liked his style of reviewing and just as funny as the Angry Video Game Nerd.

    Duke better not see his review of Halo 3 otherwise he might have to pay for a hitman to take him out.

    I've read his silly review, but he is inconsistent with his views when comparing it with other games. One, if not his biggest complaint is that Halo 3 doesn't know what it wants to be, action or horror. His favorite game of all time Half Life 2 (He states this in his blog thing) does the same thing, alternate between action and horror. To me, variety is a good thing, I like that both games alternate in scope.

    He focuses too much on the negatives and completley misses out on the fact that H3 has the best FPS vehicle controls, he misses out the fact that Halo 3 has the greatest combat system that puts HL2's archaic system to shame.

    Anyway, no one should take his amateur reviews seriously they're just meant for laughs.

    I thought he liked EP 2 and TF2, just that they weren't that special.

    I just wish they were:

    1) Longer
    2) More of them
