I just read AG's review and I think I'll leave it at that. Instead of taking a risk of spoilers, maybe I should just buy the game this weekend and play it.

I have yet to read the review but if there is a glaring flaw in a new game, it is the duty of any responsible writer / editor to point it out in no uncertain terms. So whatever it is, thanks in advance for the heads-up.
Cheers, Terry

Again, I agree with you. I much prefer your review to the IMO far too gushing one at AG, which even attempts to downplay that particular aspect of the game. Not good.
My only criticism of the Inventory review is that I feel a spoiler warrning would have been in order. Not everybody wants to know this beforehand.
PS: I read both reviews after I'd finished the game.

It's been timing out all day.
Same with http://www.adventure-eu.com/
Has the server been hacked or something?

Status : Online | I started Still Life several days ago. Very nice graphics. Stark colors that define the atmosphere of the game perfectly. Plot appears to be strong. Characters believable. So far I give it a A.
Warning: There is a lot of profanity that is very realistic to the situations depicted. But if you have virgin ears and this will offend you I would avoid the game.

Can anyone else get into those sites?

I read the AG review - gushing -- but I do so love this game.
I'm a Still Life fan what can I say - it's Syberia - and Post Mortem all in one!
Worth $29.99 - yes sir !!!

| Deleted User | The Inventory site may be down but people who want to read the Still Life review and/or the rest of the mag, can simply download it from the main JA page.

Status : Online | Regarding adventure-advocate.gr, we were told by the server admin that there is a back-up and the site information will not be lost.
I believe that the same applies to the other sites. We will be propably on-line again today.
