Again, my apologies for the delay in posting this. Emp told me I'd be judging five minutes ago. Good thing I type fast.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you liked the bits I most enjoyed writing, and it's telling that the parts of the review I struggled with didn't come across so well. Like trying to explain the time travel rules. But if the game can't even do it consistently, I probably don't stand much of a chance.

Hey, neat. Generally I have no idea how "good" my stuff is until I get some sort of response to it, so thanks for being the first and putting that much detail into it. I actually did better than I expected, so I can't complain too much. I find I'm much better at describing things in reviews than I am analyzing them, so if the piece is weak there, I'm not entirely surprised. I kind of wanted to avoid making it boring, though, and I was having a hard time writing anyway, so I felt if I at least made it fun to read (despite the point of the review in the first place), it would at least be better received. And I think it was for the most part, at least based on what you say here.

Thanks for turning in such detailed write-ups for those who participated, Marc! It's exciting when we can offer reviewing contests around here. Feels like old times. I wish more people had found time to participate (I say, knowing full well that I didn't turn in a review of my own)!

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, a lot of what you mentioned is why most of my staff stuff (at least where it'd be our first staff review of a game and, therefore, GameRankings'd) gets proofed and revised by Jason before it's allowed to be posted. It's good to have that second set of eyes to cut down on my ramblings, especially when it's a game like this one where I have a LOT to say and might not be the most organized at putting those thoughts together at all times.
