Wow, uh, this is really disappointing. Not your review... the game... I was actually looking forward to this. The thing about the flashlight brings back bad memories of Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

honestgamer's Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon review
Great review, Jason! I'll be an honest gamer, I didn't find your last couple of reviews to be inspiring (of course, we disagree heartily, but congenially, on FFXIII so that's a tough one for us) but this is a great sample of your work!
You are concise, humorous without being gauche, and you nail this game with a believable sense of game knowledge and history. You seem to know immediately what is just common-sense WRONG with this game and I'm liking the 'tude.
What this experience tells me is that games need to have better cover art, because GODDAMN I wanted to buy a Wii again just based on the little cover shots I've seen of this game on the site.

Thanks for the comments, guys! This was an easy game to review. I banged out my review in just over half the time it usually takes and I'm pretty pleased with the results. However, I'm a bit sad that it's the review I wound up having to write. This game looked like it would be so cool. There was all sorts of potential and I like both the developer and publisher. The results in this case, well... you read the review.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
