    Saw an ad for the demo and DLed it. It's called Knight Shift in Europe. Not worth spending $50 on but once it hits the bargin bin I'll buy it.

    Good things: great graphics and music, intuitive point and click interface, good item descriptions. Great humor both in the descriptions and dialog

    Bad things: Linear, both the RTS and RPG games were
    "you must now go here and do this" and if you forgot where you were going the world map in the bottom had a blinking circle of your next destination so you wouldn't get lost. All magic was items, no spells. Mana system for magic and auto regen on HPs and mana. HPs,damage and mana set very high and set as bars rather then numbers. Death, if you die you really had to work at it, not sure if it was just the demo but at the end I had 21 magic mushrooms that could restore 1/3 of my HPs each and there was no plenty for using them in combat.

    Botom line: Good light entertainment, get it if you miss console games and need something that you can play for just an hour or so. Can't say it's a good beginner's game as most of the humor is directed at experienced gamers.
