Yahtzee is back, this time dissing both America and Democracy as he reviews the latest entry in the long-running, long-worn out Medal of Honor series, Medal of Honor: Airborne. His basic complaints are actually quite valid, and his poking and jabbing at the US penchant for over-patriotism is second-to-none. Watch it, love it, and […]

The list includes obvious nods to Death Jr. and Grim Fandango, both stellar games that feature a reaper character. They even manage to throw in retro entries like Paperboy and Gauntlet.
