This comment is just nuts: "The fact is, Metal Gear and Final Fantasy are not good storytelling videogames. In fact, they're pretty poor."

The author seems to think FF12 and MGS4 are just a bunch of cut-scenes, which makes me think he never played these games. FF12 is one of the giants of the world media culture, a masterpiece brimming with wit, comedy, tragedy and geopolitics, all keyed to a refined and addictive interface and battle system. The MGS series has regularly featured some of the most innovative and dynamic forms of interactivity around -- controller switching, codecs, camera switching, all kinds of craziness.
