For the record, Bard's Tale was originally an Apple II game, and wasn't released for the PC until later. And there was just as much disk swapping on the Apple II.

Obviously though things like disk…

Yeah that's the most appealing part about this for me as well. It's something that isn't done all that often, and it in no ways prevents telling a story. In many ways the story of a dynasty can be…

Yeah ultimately it's a pretty good game, but it's not a great game. It's important to understand that it's an adaption of a popular board game, and so it plays like a board game and not like a…

Every IOS review site I've ever been to hates microtransactions. I'd hazard a guess that most players of IOS games hate them as well, and that the profits of most freemium games are driven by a small…

I think the agreement was that we were fine continuing to have news posts until he missed his release date. But once he missed his release date, there would be no more Grimoire news items until the…

It's a pretty good adaptation of the board game, with some extra stuff thrown in. The Ipad and it's touch screen controls are generally extremely well suited to simulating board and card games so…

It's not the medium. Plenty of Ipad games use a virtual stick and it works quite well. Given the criticism they have gotten, I'd hope that KOTR would consider patching one in.

Well the balance of the game has changed a lot since most of us played. Even when the game came out you could easily complete the game through hell without touching the AH, but inferno was another…

Your right, it shouldn't work, but somehow it just does. There's just something about cards that are more appealing and easier to understand.

There's a game called Fate of the World which is a…

I don't really think that puzzle RPG games are trying to appeal to the hardcore crowd in any way. They are all pretty casual. I enjoy them when they are done right, although most of the time they are…

This is true, however Knights of Pen & Paper takes repetitive battles to a whole new level. It's a great idea, but the actual gameplay isn't very good.

Avadon has similarities and differences to Avernum. I wouldn't necesarily describe it as being more mainstream, though it is easier for the most part. I'd say that the character building and tactics…

Looks like Odyssey sold over 167,000 in the US, which is even more then it sold in Japan. That certainly suggests Generation is making a big mistake by not marketing outside of their country.
