From an off-topic discussion of game mechanics and playability on a motorcycle mailing list (quoted with permission):

so a game must have:

• good gameplay
• non-distracting storyline (preferably engaging)
• non-distractive graphics (preferably good)

but let's not forget the whole line of panda games.  like Bloodrayne, the game that inspired a friend and i to create the Panda Scale to rate how much a game panders to us, the gamers.  Bloodrayne has a hot redhead vampire in a corset sucking down Nazis while moaning highly sexually.  Five Pandas.  game play is somewhat compromised, but with a hot redhead vampire in a corset sucking down Nazis, who cares?
