This is a clever review, probably your best in your most recent bash. I like how you made your points, but did so in an amusing way. Particularly good lines where the ones about the dumb things enemies yell out when giving up a gunfight yell out and how the game may as well be set anywhere, making the Vegas moniker obsolete. It's full of funny, but important, lines like this.

Haha, that's too much. Clearly, *I* was the one who did the focus window job, even if you had to tech support me through it (alright, fine, so I was hopeless without the handholding...).

This really was a good review. I think it was longer than most of your recent stuff, but it also was an interesting read throughout.

I’m glad I went through all the effort of making you a focus window for it.

Thanks for the positive feedback Venter. I actually wrote the review the old fashioned way right after beating it, on the plane. That's pretty telling, considering I could have replayed it, or delved into the unlockables in greater depth -- I wrote about how disappointed I was instead.

Sorry, Suskie, your shot was in vain; your example was not my doing. Better luck next time around.

That wasn't aimed at you at all, EmP. I would never even think about jumping to conclusions about who makes poor decisions with the focus window. Why, that would be silly of me.

The aim is not a concern; I was befuddled as to the baffling reasons for why the shot was fired at all and the just-as-puzzling choice of location.

Thanks wolfqueen. I'm sifting through the rubble of this battle to find pleasant gems of encouraging feedback. =D

Hmm... A comment on the focus window in a thread where the subject of the focus window had already come up twice? Oh yeah, good luck getting to the bottom of that one.

This topic sucks and is now about Masters' review.

Haha, well one of those two staff members made the topic in the first place, so I guess staffers are not all bad! :P

Duke Nukem 3-D, baha I haven't heard the name Duke Nukem for a loooong time. Is that game worth checking out?

Solid for FPS fans. Personally, I prefer Doom II by a ways, but Duke Nukem has its moments. Especially with some of the third scenario locations. You have a grocery store, sushi bar, bank, hotel, etc. and the boss fight's in a football (American, not EmPican, variety).
