Uuuh.. watch his reviews of Infamous and Prototype. He made it very clear that he enjoyed both games to the point where he had to have a contest involving bras to determine which was better.
Naturally he slams both for their flaws, but praises them, too.
Not his fault 95% of games in the last few years have been crap.
As far as Overlord 2 goes, I agree that he bashed it mainly because he didn't like the control style, which I can understand, but I rather liked the way you controled the minions in Overlord 1, and it looks like it's basically the same in 2. Overlord 1 wasn't a stellar game in many regards, but I certainly had fun with it.
