Just FYI, his little rant at the beginning about a game where you play a batman villain and do all that stuff has actually already been done. Evil Genius for the PC. Very fun little game.

Wellll... Yes and no. That was an RTS and it was very fun, but it was base-building of the highest order. Take that idea in an open city? Third person? Sign me up for the one Yahtzee's peddling.
So.... we just need Evil Genius 2: Henchman for Hire. Where you are the top henchman working for the evil genius of your choice and running around in direct 3rd person.
So how about it Elixir Studios? Oh, you were working on it? But you went under and all your IP got bought by Rebellion Developments who only makes crap games and crappier ports (except maybe Rogue Trooper). Darn it all.

I've never had to put so much effort into having fun as I do with Far Cry 2. I won't go so far to say it's a bad game, because I didn't exactly uninstall it in rage, but it definitely merits some critique. Yeah it's fun but tell me the instantly respawning enemies and the "open map" that is more like a Pac-Man maze are not worthy of a ZP slapdown.
Fallout 3, now there's a game you can hardly criticize.
