Hi EG - thanks for the review - just a quick question: Would it be really hard or politically difficult to put hyperlinks into Arcade reviews? That is if you like the sound of the game you can click to add the trial to your download queue?

Thanks!

Been wanting to try this out, but the marketplace appears to be having problems.
Hopefully it'll be sorted later.

Sounds similar to Doshin the Giant.

"That is if you like the sound of the game you can click to add the trial to your download queue? "

Or even better download the full game to your download queue. Same function i guess. I dont waste time on downloading trials for games that cost next to nothing.

I had the points and thought I'd give it a crack (one of those games that hooks you by dangling achievements in front of you during the trial version).

I thought it was very sweet. After playing Fallout 3 until 1am I was *just about* to go to bed and had a pop on the trial game... Which ate up my night for another hour and a half...

My problem is the background music, which is not "background" enough to loop every 30 seconds! Reminds me of leaving a game on the menu screen while I am using my PC, then getting very annoyed with the noise. Still, I can always plug in the old MP3 player...

This'd be great when stoned.

Walking round like a giant and fiddling with micro management...

Been playing this for ages and find it insanely compelling.
It's half charming half ugly but the winning aspect is that it never punishes you or fails you for anything so it becomes genuinely relaxing to play - something that all too few games manage.
The good stuff totally outweighs the negative aspects and I really recommend it.

My son has been playing this today (10 years old) and has really loved it. He's been laid up with a stinking cold and its been perfect R&R for him.

Nice little game.

Well it's eaten over 10 hours of my time already - and I'm a person who's on record as wanting full price games to be over after that long. It's unchallenging, sedate, but very rewarding.

Aye, got this as a companion to Geometry Wars 2. Utterly opposite, but charming and nice all the same. It's fun to build and oddly compelling. I wonder if a sequel could add in some Caesar-esque extras, although that'd change the complexion dramatically.
