    I love the Dead to Rights: Reuse of the title joke.
    This is probably one of my favorite episodes; it's got the perfect density of jokes, and all of them land.

    How strange... I quite liked DTR1, couldn't care less for 2, and then really enjoyed DTR:R. It isn't supposed to be intelligent, it's just fun. It has some weird balance issues (as did the first) but the gunplay and melee fighting is satisfying and quick-paced and it's been a while since a game has made me grin the way I do when you disarm someone, pulling them down with the gun, only for them to raise back up to punch/run away only to have a nice 9mm blasted through their forehead :D It's the ultimate "And that's what you get for hiding, bitch!" If only you could do that in multiplayer games :| Campers everywhere.
    Also, I adore kicking over cover. That helps avoid those BS duck hunt moments where you can't pop-up for a millisecond without having to wait 20 secs for regenerating health.

    I'd personally prefer a stealth based game in which you play as a Velociraptor, that way you coud bite, claw and maul your way through waves of enemy soldiers. Also it could have a Metal Gear 3 - esque feature where in you have to eat to small animals or people's scrotums to heal and survive.
    And the bosses could be increasingly larger dinosaurs which have to dispatched by climbing on them and biting their weakpoints ala Shadow of the Colussus.
