Darn. This means I'll have to can Evil Genius from my own to do list since it's obviously not obscure enough any more. For the time being at least.
Oh snap, i could have done a Mr. Exposition review of Evil Genius! How stupid i am.

As for the game itself - i've played it, and the review sums it up rather neatly. Now i just want a sequel.

The review works and describes the game really well. I can only think of one thing that is wrong, and that is...

"If these investigators see anything of note (or are never heard from again)"

Which is untrue, because if you kill every investigator that comes to your island and have no heat, your heat doesn't go up.

Yeah, but killing them is just stupid. Lots of social minions are far superior to any warriors you could ever have.
Really? Try making a trap room that only has traps in it that are all triggered randomly by freaks in a pressure plate room in the back of your base. Agents only shoot at trap triggers, and you can direct your minions around the room.

You kill them, no management needed, no minions needed. Traps ARE warriors :p

The one thing that sticks out of my mind is crazy Ivan, who persistently refused to use his bazooka unless the target was in the middle of my minions or close to extremely expensive equipment.
Ah yes, Red Ivan, the shittiest minion in the game. After a while with him wrecking my stuff, I got tired of it. So I locked him in a 2x2 room, made a door and destoyed the only hallway leading to it. Waste of space? Sure, but at least he wasn't destroying my base.

Evil Genius stands there with Spartan: Total Warrior as one of those games that disappointed me to no end.

Perhaps I was asking too much. All I wanted WAS SHARKS WITH FRICKIN LASERS ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS.

I really like the idea behind this game, and based on this review, it sounds like they got most of it right.

Well done, as always, Your Pimpness!

Very nicely done and you pay great attention to detail.
I also think the pimpin' banner is a very nice touch. Going to have to see if I can't get something like that for my stuff.

There's plenty of people that tried for me. Just make a thread about it in off topic.

People here are really talented.
