GameDamage, new show with Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation

If you've watched Yahtzee's review of Sonic Unleashed, you might know this already, but if you're like me and usually close out the very second he's finished talking in order to avoid the needlessly loud outro you might have missed it.

Yahtzee is one of three Australians starring on screen (well, your monitor) in a new show "Game Damage". While I have a slight issue with Yahtzee's lifeless expression through it all, the show is actually okay.

The first episode is informative without the huge bias usually seen in the mainstream gaming press. They actually say that a game in development feels like it could use a bit of work!

There are some sketches in it as well. Master Chief on his travels around... I dunno, somewhere in an Australian mall it looks like, along with a couple more gaming based skits.

It's not got the humour of Zero Punctuation and to me Yahtzee comes off as lifeless and dull when he's on the couch, compared to his ranting self on ZP. After watching it through a few times I've come to the conclusion that apart from the sketches, the entire thing would work much better as a podcast.

Maybe I went into it expecting a little too much funny. As an informative show it works great, as a funny one... not so much.
