Saw it earlier today and by god I love it when he mentions chest high walls. Was a little bummed to see he didn't acknowledge the whole tits on fire homage.
Ironic considering Epic used to be one of the fast-paced shooter companies. (From his point of view)
I still think it would be interesting for the Epic Games art department to discuss the origins of its desperate crush on retired NFL linebackers.
As long as I can skip the crappy cutscenes to do lots of damage unto others, I can care less about the lame storyline anyway.

I don't think he really could, if he had given that any special mention, then it could have compromised his profesionalism in the eyes of many ("you where just extra mean to the game because they refrenced you!" "you where too nice to the game just because they refrenced you!", and so on and so forth).
Had i been in his shoes, as a reviewer/critic, i would have chosen to ignored it aswell.
"Speaking in a recent interview with CVG, studio boss Adrian Chmielarz reveals: “It’s not the console power that we’re fighting the most – it’s the memory. And it doesn’t matter if it’s PS3 or 360. It’s that we have so much content, we’re struggling to just fit it all in – like half a Gig of memory.” And then you minus the operating system and everything else and suddenly you're left with: 'What? One texture? What are you talking about?'"

But memory was expensive. Back when those consoles were released 512MB of RAM had the insane consumer price of $0.18/MB: http://www.jcmit.com/memoryprice.htm
And that's the often claimed power of consoles: the hardware is the "same", i.e. you'll be stuck with the same hardware for year.

what would the poor 360 be without Epic manhandling Microsoft into doubling it for one game.
Oh Epic, you are so... Epic.
MANHANDLERS!
