Nice review for a game I was always interested in when I would come across it on XBLA.

Thanks, Marc. I had a hell of a lot of trouble getting this one written and seeing it fnished and posted is a huge relief. Hopefully, the next one won't be so hard.

Much of you time will be spent trying to keep your head above the radically unpredictable water that may to as little as make your shoes soggy, or was much as trap you in a rip tide and hurl you, squirming and struggling, into its depths.

I found the content of this review extremely interesting, but there was a bit too much confusion in the writing for me to give it a RotW slot, basically because of tense issues.

Thanks for your thoughts, Bloomer. I had such a hard time with this review that, when a finished draft finally came to the point where I was somewhat happy with it, I just wanted it released and done. The idea of going back and forth between old and new versions seemed like such a good angle in my head, but turned into a nightmare when trying to get it down on paper. It's certainly something I want to go back to and tighten up in the future but I'm not sure I can face it just yet.

Despite the fact that you hardly need me to leave you feedback anymore because Marc's doing it all, I will anyway because I'm nice like that. Let's start with the bad first because we know you like to focus on that and only that. For the love of God, I hope you don't just focus on that. I swear. Otherwise I'm going to stop proofing your stuff altogether. >_> I mean, lordy, there isn't even that much wrong with it in the first place.(P.S. If I sound snarky in this paragraph, then sorry. It's because I'm still a little disgruntled about the last review in which I left feedback for you.)

Thanks for those catches. The review's okay and it's not like I'm deeply ashamed of it, but it didn't come out as well as I had hoped for.

You get ones like that, where you struggled just to put something out there. Initially, those are hard to swallow--the content is usually disappointing. But with time away, those are the among the most rewarding: knowing you got through the sludge and immortalized the experience.
