HonestGamers - honestgamer's Blood Stone: 007 review

Alan Charlesworth Oct 26, 2011

I particularly like the way you deal with the game's flaws here: explain exactly how they affect gameplay, then point out that they're easily ignored with a bit of common sense. It's a nice change from the 'I don't like this feature, waaaa' criticism that a lot of reviews elsewhere tend to indulge in.

A couple of corrections:

'spann a variety of interesting locations' should lose the double N: 'span'
'toe truck' should be 'tow truck' (unless it's a disreputable podiatrist's vehicle)

'There would be tears and there would be strange laughter. Fierce births and deaths beneath umbrageous ceilings. And dreams, and violence, and disenchantment.'

Thanks for catching those silly errors. I'm not sure how either slipped into the review. Perhaps I was tired. I don't have any editor except for me, so when I write while I'm tired, bad things happen. The image of a guy driving around collecting toes is downright chilling.

"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

It happens. I make some hideous errors when tired, even to the extent of repeating whole paragraphs.
