That was definitely one of his better rants. I can't say I disagreed with any of his points.

God that Portal joke was just so terrible. Like good god it was just so damn hamfisted. I mean, at least if you want to do that put a knight corpse in the kitchen and try to subtly slip it in with a warning to not eat the food in the castle because its poisonous or made from human flesh.

I enjoy all of his rants whether they're about a game I like or not. Its not light and hard attack though, its focused and area, and you don't have to choose between absorbing light and dark, you can do both meters at once.

I LOVED this review.I liked the first one, but I find this one funnier.And like always, he makes some pretty legit points.

Seems spot on to me.

Well about everything except the combat, which judging from some of this other action game reviews, he's apparently not very good at in games. And about the Castle sub plot not going anywhere.
