Splinter Cell 4 for the win!  I'll probably buy it for the 360 or PS3, whatever I have.  Not sure I want to deal with the multi-function buttons on the GCN version again, heh.

What records did the last game's reviews break, exactly?

I like how none of the NPCs in Pandora Tomorrow had any hint of accent, even in Jerusalem.

Four games of the same series (not even an off-shoot) in the same generation?  Is this a record for a non-sports game?

EDIT:  GB/GBC/GBA Pokemon games don't count for full points.  Fire Red/Green Leaf only count as one game, etc.  Same goes for MMBN games.

James Bond games?

I think the Megaman games have beaten that. But still, competing with the Megaman games for number of sequels (they almost overtook Zero!) is a sure sign of too many sequels.
