To review a best-selling American game based on New York City, you obviously need a bunch of foreigners. First a British clip, "How To Have An Opinion About Grand Theft Auto IV," that mocks the standard media reactions to the game: polarization about the influence of violence, sweaty-palmed reviewers saying it's redefined gaming. Then the Australian reviewer Zero Punctuation, who's gotten very popular for his fast-paced cartoon reviews, says that GTA IV is afraid of its own value as a game.

You really expect us to trust an Australian?
i'm so glad i'll never play this game. it just sounds like "work" and i hate "work".
Yahtzee Croshaw deserves his own media empire.
And he's right about all the hanging out with your friends crap. I don't like doing that in real life, which is why I'm playing a video game at 11:30 on a Friday night in the first place.
The second one is fabulous. +1!
Videojug has an excellent tutorial for making butter chicken. Foolproof! Speaking of fool, it's pronounced fucking "Bel-itch", teabag.
I for one, am upset about the weak use of Eastern European ethnic stereotypes where good old American racial ones have been doing just fine so far.
@Niko Bellic:
Really? South Eastern European stereotypes, then, molim.
@Rockstar: ONE "L" IN "BELIC", JEBEMTI BOG!
"It was pretty much the same place except with more burgers and Jamaicans." Disarmingly clever especially when spoken with a British accent.
@Conbon: Indeed. The other one suffers in comparison. I don't even play video games and I watch Zero Punctuation.
I sent my son money for books for his Society in Education class. I see, via his aol away message, he now owns gta 4. Coincidence?
@rosaluxembourgeoise: Well, if we really want to be anal about things, fourth case of "BOG" would be "BOGA". Pozdrav!
Jeste! Moze anal, Bellic [sic].
only two!! I watched SNL skit, and I farted more humorous stuff they that!
Uh, I don't get it.
I like this one better....
from Conan.
Looks like a happy game, like Mr. Mosquito!
the dude in the 2nd vid clearly has a British accent, not Australian.
Grand Theft Normal Boring Life! Yes!
@DigitalVersicolor: Not an unusual thing in Australia. I myself have one, and 50% of my mates do too. It's referred to as a pommy accent.
@DigitalVersicolor &UnstableMabel: "In a sentence or two, who are you?
I'm Yahtzee Croshaw. I am a British man with Australian residence who does this Zero Punctuation thing that people seem to like."
And there you are, can be found here.
@valarmorghulis: In a sentence or two: I am a British nurse with Australian residence who occasionally does something that my boyfriend likes. I can be found here.
@valarmorghulis: Don't you think Yahtzee is a little tad Yahoo Serious? Should have stuck to Ben.
@UnstableMabel: Onto iteself, yes. However Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw works rather well as a whole. Plus, as far as I know, Yahtzee has yet to legally change his name.
I like the fact that the first reviewer has a sexy black Macbook and a beard.
@valarmorghulis: Kind of like Mabel "Strip Poker" Smith.
@valarmorghulis: Well, mr gawker was wrong then, calling you an Australian reviewer, unless you have recieved Australian citizenship. If that is the case I apologize. I am Australian. Alice Springs. Red Centre (yaaaaay!). That was three sentences. I am tired.
@valarmorghulis: sorry, I thought you were the yahtzee man. sorry, just had a bucketbong. barely functioning. bedtime now kthxbye
@UnstableMabel: flawless!
@DigitalVersicolor: no worries
