Those who ARE the target market are unlikely to have a breadth of experience with games, and may be unaware that a game they may be briefly attracted to has been done better or more competently somewhere else.<BR/><BR/>I've got a general respect for Jayisgames - they're good people - but unless I'm wrong they do have advertising partnerships with a lot of these content portals that does make them more inclined to see games as glass-half-full than not. And naturally the people at the BFG forums are already invested in that particular portal prior to examining its contents.<BR/><BR/>If people have had a different experience with Musaic Box to me, I'd love to hear what they liked about the game. But for me, it was just a terrible, terrible chore of a game that I really can't recommend at all.Greg Tannahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823898295759037081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24434266.post-58274518164039108192009-01-18T23:20:00.000+11:002009-01-18T23:20:00.000+11:00OMG people from BFG forum may be crazy, they have ...OMG people from BFG forum may be crazy, they have a lot of fun from this game.

I cannot stop enjoying it! Bravo, developers!"<BR/><BR/>And of course, IGF judges are fools!<BR/><BR/>Only this author give us truth - let buy him ticket to Russia - let he kill mother and bla bla bla!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
