Well, yes, but it's not like you're forced to play it, right? Of the past twenty updates, fourteen were from other genres, which is a fair ratio, I think. I agree we're still a bit heavy on the adventures, but surely you can't expect us to stop updating them altogether. But of course we're always grateful for reviews, so the best way of getting more good non-adventure games on the site is to review them.

I reviewed Saboteur95, it's still not on the site :'(

The game hasn't been prepped yet, so you'll just have to be patient till it can be mostly, it'll go up don't worry. Now let's keep on topic about the game.

I had played this game just after the English translation was out.
I liked the game much. But it ends too quickly (just at the moment where things are getting exciting).

Just finished this game, and LOVED it.  A great review for a great game!  
The story is very engrossing, and really draws you in.  And the main character is just so likeable  

But the ending - oh why did it have to end there, just when things were getting interesting.  

I definately recommend this game.

I have to agree, this didn't seperate itself from the crowd at all, deserves a 3 at most, I think the reviewers on this site are far too genorous on adventure games.

[DeathDude]

Well least for me think moreso it was a different style of telling the story and just the way things unfolded that I thought made it a different sort of game with others, it's not the adventure game to end all adventure games, but still is an above average one compared to some out there.

Hmm, I don't really think a reviewer should need to have to justify his rating - that's what the review is for, isn't it? Reviews reflect a personal opinion, after all. DD happens to be an adventure fan, so obviously if he likes a game that doesn't necessarily mean you'll like it too if your personal opinion is that 95% of adventures suck (yes, I know no-one actually said that, it's just an example, but I'm sure some people would agree with that statement. I know that I probably would). If you disagree, there's always the public rating.

[Blood-Pigggy]

AJ, I don't remember distinctly saying that I wanted DD to explain his review, in fact, I didn't ask him to do so at all.

[DeathDude]

Well you phrased it in such a way, that it sounded like you wanted to know a reason, so you got it.

[Frodo]

Getting back to the game ...

I really liked how the intro was done.  It wasn't a typical cutscene that you saw.  Still images were used to tell the story of how he ended up at the hospital.  That was quite a novel way of doing things.  

[DeathDude]

Yeah that was indeed unique the way it was told, wasn't expecting that when first started the game, was a refreshing change to see from the typical cut scenes you see.
