I loved all the little spoilers at the end, although I would have been beyond mad if he had done that before I finished watching The Usual Suspects.
I've been hearing a lot of generally positive reviews for Hawx from multiple sources, so maybe it's a good game. It's also possible that Yahtzee's relative inexperience with the genre has caused him to overrate the game. We all tend to think in our first significant foray into a new genre that the game we're playing is better than it really is. I'm guilty of this myself, because I think Project Snowblind is awesome (and it was the first FPS I'd played since the days of Perfect Dark, and it got me back into the genre.)
