This was actually exactly the review I wanted to see, and it covered exactly the contrasts I was interested in learning about. Furthermore, it was also the critical, "Did Prototype have enough good points to get Yahtzee to say anything positive about it," and it did! FOR THE WIN! Haha, I kid...

Tkwelge ; The problem here is twofold. Firstly, much of what you describe here has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of information presented (I don't really care if Rush is partially deaf, I care if he lies all the time,) and secondly, much of what you're saying about Stewart simply...
