Man, sharks saw blood in the water with this one. Didn't know Rare had so many PS fans ...
Anyway, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was some of the most fun I've had with any game this gen. And Kameo has one of the best soundtracks in any game out there (if you like symphonic scores) and wasn't a bad game either. Guess I'm saying Rare wasn't as horrible this gen as people make them out to be. They just became less ... relevant to gamers.
And it's kinda funny to read people saying MS ruined them because, as Sal's wonderful reminder of the Eurogamer article noted, they left them alone and didn't hold them by the @$#% to help them make good games. How dare a huge publisher like MS leave a supposedly talented developer alone to make what they want!!! FASCISTS!!!!
