I really enjoyed this review. I purchased _Blueberry Garden_ this morning and have played it on and off all day. I love the atmosphere and the piano tracks are amazing--they definitely add a touch of magic to an already whimsical world (well, whimsical in a _Waiting for Godot_ kind of way). I've never really played "indie" games, but the price is right. Unfortunately, I can't seem to [Edited for spoilers since I've advertised this as a spoiler free review and the comment was directed as me and I've read it now :) - Admin] I suppose I just need to keep exploring, but if you could e-mail and give me a few pointers I would really appreciate it. Thanks again for a great review, Jonathan! Cheers from the good ol’ US of A!

I'm thinking the time might be right for something on the point and click games what with a lot of the old LucasArts titles coming to Steam now. Actually that might be worth a news post. I don't have GamesTap, never really liked the idea of it to be honest. I like to own the games I play even if what I'm owning is a Steam liecense. I kind of wish they were rented because the length of that list scares me. I think I may have a problem regarding buying more games than I play. Cheers Blank.

It's a fantastic game. 2. An IL-2 Sturmovik review would be cool. I've heard a little about the series, but a more blatant comparison to WWII combat games I've experienced (Combat Flight Simulator 3, Aces of Europe (!!), some awesome, cool, massively multiplayer, free one that I can no longer find [Wings III?]) would be cool. 3. GRiD = Love. Again, a comparison of GRiD to the TOCA franchise proper, Gran Turismo series, and Need for Speed: ProStreet (and, soon, Shift). Of those, I only own ProStreet. 4. I really enjoy the Hitman series, Thief series, as well as Oblivion and Mount & Blade. Humorous writings involving those genres would be kewl. 5. Finish the Longest Journey and all those LucasArts Point 'n Clicks you've got on there because I never could. TLJ, from the ~1 hour I played before getting horribly lost, was incredible. My brain can't handle adventure games very well. OH!! You have to add Broken Sword 1 to your list. Have to. I bought the third one a few weeks ago for $3 new, so the venerable classic is probably £5 or so. 6. It seems as if you might have GameTap, based on the games listed? Not a bad service, for Americans, anyway, but they have Beyond Good & Evil on there, which is a Must Play Post-Haste. As well as MechWarrior 4, but, sadly, with no support for all the awesome additions the community has been working on the past 6 years. 7. There, a list on your list. 1.

Ok, it's a deal. I promise to do better updating from now on. Admittedly better isn't saying much but I promise I'll do significantly closer to my best while not failing my masters degree. Also if you've got any requests for particular games or news topics you'd like to see my write about, either off 'The List' (link in the top right) or in general then let me know and I'll do my best to try tailor my coverage to my readership. :) My goodness, a reader!

You have at least one reader, so keep this thing updated, right? Enjoyed your Blueberry Garden review.
