Next best thing to being there

According to the articles, perhaps you all should undergo physical training prior to the event to make sure you're in shape.

I've been before. That is indeed one long hallway!

Glad you're enjoying it.

Yes, they've been very good. I especially liked that map comparison - too true.

By the way, about Evil Days of Luckless John. It is not an adventure. It is a mix of arcade (platform running, arcade racing, arcade shooting, even some fighting), puzzle (several classical puzzles, like, well, Puzzle, Memory game and 3D-Sokoban - just like in Sleeping Dragon) and few drops of "adventure" (find and use 2 objects on 2 locations). All those parts are poorely mixed, and the hole game is very boring and irritating. Not because you are going to solve some evil puzzles - it's just a cheap rip-off of classical games, arcades mostly.

Thanks, Jen. We'll have much more in-depth game coverage to come, but the goal was to convey a sense of "being there" with these articles. I guess that's easier to do with someone who has been!

That darn hallway wouldn't be so long if not for all the people clogging it up.

And I'm pretty sure whoever configured the display areas was a student of the "modern chaos" school of architecture. Yeesh.

AT, that's interesting about Luckless John. We were forewarned it had a variety of action elements, but without knowing what the balance was throughout the game, we were prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. The parts we saw looked pretty darn adventure-ish.
