What Took You So Long!
What was the hold-up, man? Strategy Guide has got to be one of the next major series on video games (of the past), and you slacked off for a year or more! Look, buddy, nothing personal, but you have to make this into a routine endeavor.
I have a few peeves, but they're minor. For one, your humor is on the spot, but using more music would spruce things up a little. Dead air is something you should avoid (e.g., just before Guido's stoned relative shows up, there is a pause of more than five seconds without anything said while he jumped off the television screen). Some parts could be tightened up a little, that's all.
The other minor peeve I have about the series is... well, actually I like the series... a lot! Though you haven't improved technically, or introduced anything radically new to the format (which would necessitate an absence), I certainly like how the format is. It isn't broken, and doesn't need any fixing. The theme song is still cool (have yet to purchase that CD), and Guido is still a loveable jerk. I certainly wish he'd lose his cool more often and scream "M.F." more often, but that's still a minor peeve that is compensated by solid writing.
Never take off for more than a year again. 4 out of 5 for you.
