2600:
KenToad,
I'm going to play devil's advocate. Please don't get me wrong as I think you did great job stepping up to the plate and reviewing the products, but I just want to add some constructive criticism so that your next review is even better.
Disclaimer: My wording and wordchoice is going to be bad only for affect as the article isn't as bad as I'm describing.
1. I think the descriptions could of been a little clearer and your thoughts more organized. More of a separation, between the products and a description of their use in theory. You describe some aspects well, but if you take Druin's board for example you hardly describe how it operates in theory or anywhere in the article. You go throught all the other parts in the intro and there is a picture of Druins board, but you don't talk about it.
2. 4-way description - You mentioned you could make Mario stop if you moved the joystick to the extreme diagonals, but here it's been alluded that in actual game play you wouldn't do that. You kinda left this open ended and it makes it seem a little negative for the GGG board. On one hand, you are playing PAC-MAN fine, but you run the extreme test in Donkey Kong, but don't actually say how Donkey Kong was in normal play.
3. You start off talking about fighters. I don't play these games generally, but I thought oh cool an aspect I haven't heard anything about. But you don't describe gameplay in 8-way at all. And the fighter reference only comes up again a little bit in the conclusion. I think the gameplay section could of been greatly lengthened, that's why we are all here ;D
4. I'm not sure how accurate some of your statements are "technically" especially when you are talking about analog modes, but this is pretty picky.
Overall I think it may have been like I said in #1. Add to that a little more detail, especially in gameplay, and I think it would of been that much better.
This is just a quick rundown, but I think you'll see where I am coming from. Keep the reviews coming.
Timoe:
