This was a pretty sweet review that I read with interest, having played and reviewed the game myself (but not The Longest Journey). I think you were very fair to the game and what it does right... and wrong. There were only two "oops" moments when it came to your grammar (probably the result of the effective polishing you must have done on your original draft) and the writing was engaging throughout. I might even go so far as to say that this is your finest review to date. It's exciting to see your writing continuing to evolve as it has. I look forward to--and hope for--many additional reviews from you!

Hey, thanks man! That's strong words coming from you, who I really respect as a reviewer. What were those grammar moments? I'd love to go back in and change em.

Thanks HG! Yeah, for an English major, spelling sure isn't my strong suit.

Don't feel too bad. It was an English major that spotted the errors, too (I had all of the writing-related courses necessary for an Associates degree out of the way, then dropped out). A lot of people have trouble with the small stuff. As your writing shows, you're good at the big pictures. And anyway, the small stuff you also mostly get right. I wouldn't sweat it too much.
