I usually don't comment on reviews that are quite THIS old, but I do have to say that this has one of the worst lists of supposedly bad titles I've EVER seen:

I think he meant that each of those games is a black sheep, as in "not popular compared to the other installments." Aside from "Mario 2," each of those could certainly pass for a black sheep. (Even "Metroid Prime," which received a mixed reception from longtime Metroid fans.)

One of goldenvortex's favorite techniques was to find something that a lot of people like and, in an off-hand manner, trash it while talking about something completely unrelated. You'll find examples of that practice in a lot of his older reviews, though he toned it down some for his later stuff. It's kind of fun now to read some of his reviews and see how far out of left field some of those references really are. It's a shame, though, because aside from that quirk he was actually a decent writer who produced a handful of very good reviews before he stopped coming here.

Well, it's half way intelligent... because it certainly would generate press and get the review passed around by the internet bigots who love to disagree with the obviously extreme. But it also totally discredits the point, so... yeah. Don't remember what I was starting to say here. I'm watching The Maxx, it's kind've distracting.

Sonic 3D Blast wasn't bad, unless someone was expecting a serious rival to Mario 64. I remember actually enjoying the game quite a bit when it was new.
