Excellent review of a game I've seen mentioned and almost played... but didn't. I can see how it might easily become a bit of an addiction.

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"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 world2

Thanks for reading, Venter. Funny thing is that I never intended to review the game; I simply wanted to kill some time with something before the game that I actually wanted to review arrived. Ironically, I'm not sure if I even want to play the intended game now...

This was fun to write, though. There was a LOT of information I had to crunch in, so the challenge came in explaining the game to the reader without being overbearing. In doing so, I had to mention certain things in passing.
