I bought it a night when I was bored to hell from my job, didn't had any girlfriend and was living alone in my condo. I red some good review and told myself : "Ho why not". I got home, made diner, took my daily doze of Star Trek on the SPACE channel, not really anticipating the game.

I went to bed at 9h30 and brought my laptop with me. While I was taking my shower, the game was installing. At 10h00pmI was expecting to play half an hour before closing everything and go to sleep.

At 5h00am I was still playing it incapable of stopping. The sun was going up when I finally got to the last level. Expecting the last level to be too long, I decided to try and sleep the 2 hours I had before going to work.

I never did. I finished the game at 7h00 and called work to call sick.

I know it's not a review but it's the only game to date that got me to that point. I never played it again and maybe it's not that good a game but for me it was the right game at the right time.
