Yahtzee doesn't really do "honest" reviews, as much as he does "tongue in cheek" reviews. He's often said that people should never take his stuff at face value, since he tends to exaggerate just about everything for comedic effect.

If you want honest reviews look at gamefaqs and mobygames.

I laugh at you if you even call them reviews. Next you'll tell me Jerry Springer was an actual talk show :P

Jerry Springer is a well-thought-out, highly original and deeply important talk show.

His reviews have about the same credibility as IGN's.

I do have to agree with him on a lot of points though, especially about how "cinematic gameplay" is a codeword for "limited replay value". He's a good source of cynicism to offset the bought and paid for reviews that the "serious" reviewers churn out. I personally never put any stock in any reviewer though, since the only games I buy are at friends recommendations and/or after watching some let's play footage.
