hey todd, wow i didnt even know this fellow was on t,v, or in print, guess he really get's around hmm? thanks for the stats, i was actually wondering about his effect on game sales and 15-20% is HUGE!! i would have guessed something around 5-10% maybe. he certainly does have a unique presentation style and uses several cues to get his message across. I did know he was an aussie, did you know I was an aussie? (dont have the accent, yes i'm bitter about it!)

thanks for reading and commenting todd!

I have tracked across 3 articles on Yahtzee in the past week. One on TV, one in Print and now your article online (and the week before last i didn't even know this guy existed!). He sure does have a different way of reviewing games and communicating his message. I think that it's a combo of his direct and no holes barred opinion, combined with humor, some good graphical story telling, a distinctive voice and a new take on an otherwise boring and overdone topic – computer game reviews. The next question is what effect does his method of storying telling have on consumers – is he geeting results?? The answer according to the TV show I watched was yes and they quoted a rise on sales by 15-20% of games that Yahtzee reviews. Thanks for the article Jacob! (p.s. did you know he is an Aussie??!!)

hey jeremy, that's a good point. at the end of the day it's the experience that really matters and if the customers walk away with something unique then it will always be worth the price of admission.

thanks for the comment!
