   A diploma in the waiting room revealed Big Boy to be a member of The American Association of Medical Hydrology, whatever that might be. Furthermore he was a deacon of the Royal Aryan Society for Positive Christianity and as such was privileged to throw in divine healing without extra charge.

   Oddworld Inhabitants, partly because it’s a nice pun, wants you to believe that Oddworld Just Got Stranger. It’s a valid gag, since Stranger’s titular hero is a departure for the series: mean, graceful and self-assured. But it’s also a bit of a con because, in many ways, Oddworld just got normaller. Stranger takes the series into the realms of far more conventional gameplay, namely a thirdperson/firstperson adventure with guns, puzzles and fistfights.
