yeah u dont steer agro, u can gently suggest which direction he should go. its a totally organic control system which can be easily over looked. i think it is genius
@nex2null: I'm slowly turning my friends in RPG geeks by giving them small doses of heroquest board game. It's an interesting transition to watch...they are not really into games of any kind and I can see them starting to take more interest in the computer based rpg's im playing because of the board game sessions.
there are two ways to read reviews: the 5 second glance of casting red v blue, or actually reading the review and ignoring the subtitles for each section.
The old way was much better if you read the whole review, they were fair and balanced.
If you read the new style, the whole review feels like filler around a 'I loved it' or 'I hated it' but here is some video so what I write doesn't really matter.
scrap the loved and hated, and just make them bullet points in a straight to the meat review. I still want video though, those are not bad. Just make them meaningful in the context of the review...use them to hit home your points.
I much prefer a review that is not scared to love or hate a game. We all know games can be crap or completely awesome, don't be scared to express that.
