You know what, to say the truth I FAVOR awkward 3D models and that's a big part of the reason why I find the game compelling (now try to think of Sanitarium with better graphics, eeew) :) That, and the IF-ish parts. And the voiceovers (apart from the main narrator).gboukenshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106689617071459570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-1638989698524330582012-04-17T18:07:01.846+03:002012-04-17T18:07:01.846+03:00Well, I must admit that I've always felt that ...Well, I must admit that I've always felt that a review score might lead to the overall skipping of a review.
