About my rating system.

Awful - Admit to liking this game and your friends and loved ones will forsake you. And you'll be arrested.

Bad - Really just a game for series/IP/genre diehards.

Okay - Not bad enough to be bad, not good enough to be good.

Good - Good ideas, good design, good execution. It's good.

Excellent - A very special layer of hell is reserved for people who don't own this game.

cool review, glad to see your still kicking ass. you know there is an awesome ps2 platformer called sly cooper (first one) and it has these time based trials that unlock commentary. the game came out in like 2002 or 2003 and it was a pretty awsome addition especially for a 3D platformer!

@griffin09 I don't like having to unlock content through feats of skill (if I bought the game, why can't I play what I want!!!), but that sounds cool. I might check it out.

nice review !

have you ever seen or tried Hector (Telltale games) ?

[antisocialfatman]

@TheAquarius87 Yeah, I've seen it. I would like to play it, but I can't afford it.

What kind of PC you have?

[antisocialfatman]

@TheDelta0214 2GHz dual core, 2GB RAM, integrated Nvidia 7 series GPU. It's a junk replacement as my main PC is dead.

Congrats on your 100th video, though not your 100th review, congrads anyway.

I sincerely hope you get more recognition your reviews are more than just reviews; they're analysis and they're very good.

[antisocialfatman]

@MarkArandjus Thanks, but counting private and deleted videos, I passed the 100 mark about half a year ago.

Sly Cooper is pretty fucking awesome.

[griffin09]

@antisocialfatman i can see that argument but still, sly is an awsome game. along spyro and prince of persia, i think it is the only good 3D platformer. the second one was cool (there is no commentary though) and the 3rd one is a PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT.

@antisocialfatman Play KQ6. Best adventure game of all time.

Your reviews are music to my ears.

Fair enough, I can even agree with you about the LSL series but I had thought you would have played a few of the Sierra adventure games since you claim to like these types of games.

The Point & Click mechanic appears firstly in Kings Quest 5 I believe but the series has a ongoing plot throughout the series and you can also find a KQ3 remake on the net with better graphics and the Point & Click mechanic - if any of this matters to you.
