I was talking about Captain Falcon ;)

I still don't know how you can't like the Banjo-Kazooie series (if you've ever played them, that is). Yes, it's kind of a weird idea, but no weirder than an obese plumber having a death match with a magical, electric rodent, a narcissistic bounty hunter with form-fitting, homo-erotic clothing, a 2-dimensional being from another dimension, and a giant turtle toppling Gamera's high bar for zaniest fictional giant Japanese turtle.

But anyways, Banjo-Kazooie is, in my opinion, the most finely-polished 3D platformer ever. The levels, like in the Donkey Kong Country series before it, are brilliantly created, and its humor is well-cultured and subtle. The charm of the series comes from how simple the premise is, yet how well the minute details manifest themselves in the final product.

Anyways, it seems like I've heard nothing but bad things about the Banjo series from Joystiq (even though your review started working its way towards becoming a backhanded compliment). I say, give the series a chance and get over the initial hurdle of imaginative direction. You'll find a decidedly solid series.

I appreciate that they're trying, but they certainly aren't funny...at all...

I bought Pokémon Diamond. I have lost many, many hours of my life with little or no reward...

I know, I was just posting a better PhotoShopping that I did a while back. Same idea, different artist.

Damned formatting. Click the link yourself:

Final design:

My favorite Atari video game is the wildly imaginative Stuntman. It's subtle humor and elements of satire keep the frustration bearable.

I'm a sucker for innovations in gaming and, even though the game is endlessly frustrating, the grade-A artistic vision and at-times satirical presentation of Stuntman make it my #1 favorite Atari game of all time.

It has been and forever will be Captain Falcon!
