There's a few gaming series that I really like, and would love to see Yahtzee review...but he's never touched them.

The three main ones for me are:

Command & Conquer (most recent and relevant is Red Alert 3)
Unreal/Unreal Tournament (most recent is Unreal Tournament 3)
Battlefield (most recent is probably Bad Company...but BF2, 2142 would be cool)

Anyone else want to see him do these? Or do you have your own favourite franchises?

Dynasty Warriors - so I can find out whether its pronunced Die-nasty or Din-asty

He's never reviewed an RTS game, so there's an entire genre of new jokes and hatred.

I'm used to "din-ass-tee", but http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dynasty

He hasn't done a Final Fantasy.

Granted, there hasn't been one released since he started, but still... I'd like to see someone strap him down and make him play through the ENTIRE game, including all the sub-quests, Clockwork Orange-style.

On a slightly different note, he seems to hate Sony. I'm still disappointed he didn't do LBP. He did PEGGLE, for fuck's sake... why not LBP? And he completely overlooks the PSN DLC. Lumines went ignored, as did Wipeout HD, Megaman 9, etc. The hell, man?

FYI, he doesn't read these forums or take suggestions from them.

I'm curious what he'd have to say about City of Heroes, if only because he had a sort of fledgling interest towards it when he did the Game Damage trailer and I figure the NCSoft branch formerly known as Cryptic could use some attention.

Yes! I was eagerly waiting for a Review of RA3 when that was released, but he never so much as mentioned it, even in his "games not reviewed" bit of today's ZP.

it's truly no game like any
you play as a country, any country in the world, ANY
and you act as President, work with the economy, politics, and military
roleplay politically with other people

Far Cry 2, simply because he's had it for ages but still hasn't reviewed the thing, so he either really hates it or it has nothing bad about it (which is certainly does)...

A strong dislike for Sony is a prerequisite for employment at The Escapist. Have you checked The News Room in the past twelve months?

Die-nasty, iirc matey. ;-)

Something away from FPS as I feel this genre is getting old and I find Yahtzee can make his life easier through complaining about how similar most games are in the FPS market these days when there are much more interesting genres out there to make fun as. Like, as implodingman has suggested, a real time strategy game! :-D

Has he ever reviewed a PC game? So far he seems to mainly play Xbox titles, though he did have a Wii game in there. Perhaps that's why you don't see PS3 DLC -- he may not own a PS3.

Also, he only reviews one title per week (usually). It would be great to have him review every game ever made, but let's face it, he needs to set his priorities. That, and some games are just too big to be reviewed in a week (MMOs and Bethesda titles come to mind).

Even though he's never going to take this suggestion, I'd like him to do another review of an older game now that were going into the new gaming drought.

Um. Yes. Loads of them, even.

CoD 4, Age of Conan, Left 4 Dead, Spore, EVE, Oblivion, Painkiller... there's probably more, too.

Yahtzee reviewed MGS4 so he should have a PS3.

the reason he hasn't done Wipeout HD is because when Wipeout is in its flow, its nigh on perfect, and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.

i'm pretending Fusion didn't happen, it can fuck right off, I mean seriously the terrain affecting the skimmers? WHAT? they dont touch it SONY!. *foams at the mouth*

Oh, I'm sure Yahtzee would just complain about how "impossible" the gameplay is and that all you do is go around in circles. Everyone knows the man has no skills. He'd probably play the whole thing with pilot assist on.

He has reviewed a few PC tittles, the Witcher, Eve online, Age of Conan, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky, Painkiller, maybe more I don't know.

It would be interesting to see Yahtsee review Battle Field 2142...but then again I think it's a little too late for him to consider reviewing something that's been around for a while already. But you never know, maybe he finds some magical and out of the blue interest in reviewing something old-ish.

I would like him to review Farcry2...or the new Spyro game! Haha! Now THAT would be funny!

I bet one line would at least go, "and I had to try to jump over that cactus one more bloody time, I would (exaggerated series of events)" and it would mimic my experience in the desert level with all the exploses. T_T DYING SO MUCH.

I want him to just review at least one RTS. Even if he hates RTS he's already review a frikin' JRPG, so lets see him bitch about "Oh noes I want to pull the trigger, not tell people to do it" and then everyone goes "LOL SO TRUE!" - it would be magical.

He never reviewed a Clover game. Sure, they could be considered "old" games, but I bet there are a couple of Clover titles he wouldn't hate. I'm especially interested in what a pessimist like Yahtzee would think of a game like God Hand.

Only game that comes to mind is Gears of war he never reviewed it but mentions it a lot. Also never a RTS or turn based RPG.

Bejewled 2. Shouldn't take too long. Although he did that episode with Pop Cap games in so I guess he has already done it...

It would be interesting if he managed to get his hands on some games pre-release (for civilisation rather than Australia) and do a preview instead. Obviously that would be somewhat difficult given his honesty for the crappiness of some titles.

Maybe he could do a special episode on game movies, that would surely spark some new level of profanity.

Thief series. I actually e-mailed him about this so I'd like to see him try and call Thief bad.

Seeing how much he hates people I think he might enjoy Pandemic 2. It's off of crazymonkeygames.com so it's not a big title, but it's still fun to create an evolving virus to wipe out the human race.
