It was good, but it got kind of annoying how he would continue on talking, even though I didn't press space. I missed several things he said because I pressed space as soon as he continued automatically. Still, it was interesting. 4 Stars.

A very interesting view on video games, and even better, brings back a hint of nostalgia. Likewise, I agree, the concept is amazing and enjoyable.
