I know much has been said about Other M, but you did a good job of deconstructing the astonishing number of ways it went badly wrong.
I've never heard of Shank, but it certainly looks really cool.
If I wanted to I could've gone on about Other M for much longer, which is why I decided instead to link to two other things that pretty much do so for me.
And yes, Shank is a lot of fun. Extremely short, you can easily beat it in a single evening, but it's a great beat-em-up.
Hey read your Metroid Fusion review, well done! Ringed true, liked your opinion on the game. I love Metroid and it says you wanted to make a Metroid fangame. If you ever wanted to help me out on mine, drop me a pm about it.
Anyway, enough advertising. Great reviews, reading the Super Metroid review right now! :)
I'll admit I have a soft-spot for Fusion since it was my first Metroid, but even so, it's solidly built and is a stellar example of what Other M tried and failed to be.
And it's a testament to how good Super Metroid is when the first time I'd ever played it was when it finally released on the Wii's Virtual Console and I still had a blast playing it. Heck, when taking screenshots I had to remind myself every so often to actually do so.
