Although screenshots may take a while, sorry 'bout that.

May I ?

PLZ

[Frodo]

Yep, Battleships Forever is available for review. Shall I put your name against it?

If you are having trouble with screenshots, I recommend Irfanview. It's very easy to use - you can set it so that you can take screenshots whenever you want, just by pressing a button.

[razing32]

yeah, you can put my name against it.

I think it will be done at most by the end of the week. i'm having some time constraints....

But yes, i can review it, and Ifranveiw is COOL

[Frodo]

Done. The review is yours.

But take all the time you need. You don't HAVE to complete 50 reviews a day.

Glad you like Irfanview.
