<description><![CDATA[#50 Hi Kevin, I apologize if I used the word "scold" incorrectly, although your post was addressed by name to me in disagreement and I remembered it as I had given some thought to your shop analogy. (I did also remember your name but did not mention that on purpose.) As I say, there are indeed shops that I would never go into again, particularly the one I mentioned above (oh what the hey - June's Florist - keep away) so this was a point I paid attention to, questioning whether I was in fact wrong to say that each game should be evaluated individually after all.

I came to realise that whilst I would not use a shop that had treated me badly ever again and would tell everyone not to also in severe cases, the case with Double Games is completely different. They offer games, for free, which are all different. Granted none of them have been fantastic, yesterdays was just the best (and I'm not even close to being a Senior Citizen...) and many people did agree. Yes, I would never buy the same product again after bad quality but comparing each game to each other is like comparing lemonade to cola - each is different.

The crux here also is that we are allowed to evaluate the games free of charge, we do not have to pay money (which I admittedly would not do from past Double Games titles) to find out if we have made a mistake. These are not the same things offered so we can find out, for free, if each is any better. In this case, it was. I know you personally did not like it but that is not to say no-one else would and this is, surely, better than that "Button Up" thing they gave a few days ago?

Personally I would not download anything, free or not, from the developer who gave the drug dealer game away because I vehemently disagree with the potential that has for causing death just to give them some money. I don't think of Double Games in the same way and therefore do stand by what I said but also respect your opinions and would hate to have offended anyone by disagreeing with them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Actually, I like it quite a bit! It's true that the description given via GOTD is misleading, but could be applicable to native language difference; I think most of us have been on the net long enough that we can appreciate that the internet makes products available from around the world, and we can be grateful enough to approach an 'engrish' obstacle as a learning experience. As far as the game itself, I found the instructions more than sufficient to begin playing immediately; I find the game challenging and fun; the GUI is visually pleasing; the audio is pleasant, unintrusive and optional; and the challenge of the game is winnable, fast enough to keep me on my toes and yet not so fast as to make me quit in frustration. Would I have paid for it? Yes, up to $9.95.Will I use it? :) ... I have already placed it on my quicklaunch bar.  Thank you, GOTD and Doublegames.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, Merril, I tried this game at your suggestion. I argued against your open-minded theory the other day---I did not scold you.

Now that I have had time to practice being open-minded along with others of you I can definitively say, it is not worth the play. Perhaps it is entertaining for some of the senior citizens that visit here but overall I found the play is lame and the graphics will never make up for that.

My vote still remains that DoubleGames should be avoided.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#4, there is no possible way that a DoubleGames release "crashed" your computer so that you had to reformat it.  Did you not try using system restore?  Although DoubleGames contain spyware, there's no way they would create software capable of destroying a computer.  What did you try doing to fix the problem before you gave up and reformated?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#35 is right.  White Rabbit's reviews are full of information that is not asked for and completely unneeded.  You don't have to write 6000 words to describe whether a game is good or not.  My "reviews" hardly ever get posted while I see other people have 7 comments on the same game.  Whoever is in charge of moderation of the comments is playing favorites...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Stan comment #35, the posting made with the giveaway info (comment #26) was an accidental posting. I thought I was posting something else, but had forgot to actually copy what I'd written (I always write my reviews on a word document first), so what you see is (which does involve cutting and pasting) about the giveaways to two Battlefield forums after being asked to do so by the admin’s there. As both are dedicated forums, I tend to keep them as short as possible, with links and the info the developer offers.    My morphine soaked head sometimes makes mistakes.  As for cutting and pasting my reviews of games that are given away, you’re wrong; Some of the reviews can take me up to three hours to write if I find them interesting and worth while.  If there is any cutting and pasting which is rare, it's usually to emphasize or give as an example etc.  All the images are taken by myself and uploaded to my photobucket account.

I don't know what your problem is Stan, but I do hope you have a great day.  Sorry if my attempts at helping are seen as something to be avoided by you.  I can’t please everyone.  "Cest la Vie" 

The rest of your rant is not worth even answering...



I apologise to the all the regulars and those that just pop in occasionally for my reactions to a few posters.  I just don’t understand why they have to deride other posters, especially as these forums are for........goes away to cut and paste…….

"Please comment only the software here. If you have technical problems or suggestions on our project, please leave us a note in our forums" 

lol...say no more....


The majority of my reviews are following the request stated above.  Okay I'm guilty of sometimes adding non related items...but I don't insult or deride others; but when ‘I’ am, I feel I should at least reply...... maybe I should have posted my suggestion regarding deleting certain posts in the forums,; but to be honest, I can’t be bothered going to the forums because I have other stuff to do.  :)  Have a great week everyone….]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#35 In addition to my last post to you which has not yet been moderated I see now that you were referring to #25. None of my previous comments have changed I am just acknowledging the correct post. 

Furthermore, I do totally agree with #25 and would do even if I did not know who the author was. This board is for software reviews, not for personal opinions of other people's comments if they do not happen to coincide with your own views.

Before anyone says I am disagreeing with a comment and as such contradicting myself, I post reviews on this site daily. Disagreeing with other people's opinions on the software and singling them out is one thing, bullying in the manner of #35 is a very different other.]]></description>
