| Fuzzmosis said: Actualy, that game does stink. It's a cross word puzzle, yet many answers are phrases, including 5 letter ones like "eatme" to large ones like "victorybyanose" That is not a cross word puzzle, that is a cross-phrase puzzle. Although my screaming fit after finding out the clue "I" was actually the roman numeral may have made the purchase worth it for my friend who didn't stop laughing for a good 8 minutes. |
I think it's wicked fun - that's what I'm playing now (Planet Puzzle League is next on the list) - I've always loved crosswords, and this beats erasing...
At least the NY Times crosswords aren't THAT hard - the ones from the Times crossword are impossible by comparison.
But the point stands IMO - graphics (and certainly resolution) doesn't a good game make. It's like saying Lair is twice as good in 1080p than in 720p!
And finally, we always have this gem of a game that if judged by graphics alone would get a big, fat zero yet was a cornerstone of what modern adventure games are today:
Edit: Fuzzmosis, if you think that the NY Times crossword is phrase-heavy you should take a stab at the Times crossword - they should be forced to provide rosetta stones to even understand what they are asking! To wit, an example:
Settle argument how the slave trade crumbled - one English stopped (4,3,4,4)
At least they are decent enough to say how many words - and letters the answer comprises!
