I take it you played Stasis flotsam. I got 3/4 through it when my Win 7 hard drive crashed on me. Lost the saves. Got the comp back up and running but decided to finish Stasis by watching a walkthrough. I thought it was tough game to play but a really good game. I like those kind of Sci-fi point-and-click, isometric adventure games. Have yet to play Cayne . Have you played it yet?
It's never too late!

I did indeed Orion, and liked it a lot (and thanks Ana for the links). Hadley was a character worth spending time with. I am still working my way through their most recent one, Beautiful Desolation.

Alright!.....Your reviews on both are excellant! I love the A minus on Stasis. I thought Stasis was a very good game and now because of your review of Cayne I have to jump on this one. Look forward to dying. You know there was a time when some reviewers gave their personl opinions on whether or not THEY liked playing the game. They did not describe the game in detail, in some cases, leading people astray. It was not good. Your reviews are excellent and are written like they should be. I am Looking forward to your review of BD seeings how I am on the fence with this one. Thank you
Thank you Ana for the review links

Orion, I agree. I do the editing and HTML coding for the reviews and first looks. I enjoy flotsam's reviews more than any others I've read!
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Well then I should thank you as well so thank you! I kind'a figured that out. You make a great team bringing it all together and that goes for everyone here Just by mentioning the editing and the coding you have reminded me of when I use to work for Randy at JA -- 90's to 2002 I believe. He and I became very close connecting by email, posting on JA and did a lot of talking on the hard wired phones back then. Randy would get the CD's and send them off to those of us who reviewed and in turn sent the reports back via email where they would get edited and the coding done. It was some of his reviewers I had issue with. These kind of reviewers were on other sites as well but my concern was with JA. We went round and round with this but he finally saw the light and the reviews on JA got better, describing the game instead of one's personal opinion. I sure do miss those days.....I met my wife on JA over a game called Liath . Check out the screens. Was a great game!

Thanks for the kind words Orion and the feedback. It’s always good to know what people value and don’t value in reviews. It helps make them better. Very cool story about Liath. Congrats! I have a copy but never played it and not sure I could get it going now. Games have a capacity for all sorts of things. Not quite as momentous but I went to Istanbul and then sought out certain places on the strength of Byzantine. Re BD I am probably a bit on the fence as well at the moment, but there is a way to go.

I have both games and replayed them a few times. Just checked Steam to see whether Stasis:Bone Totem has been released yet and I see there is a Demo The demo has been out quite awhile now. As soon as the game is released we will be announcing that as well! Demo and game announcement. Ana

flotsam are you saying you enjoyed Byzantine so much you went to see the sites mentioned in the game. Was this for review or what? I did not see a review here . Byzantine released back in 97. I had never heard of it until now How's Australia? Born and raised?
