Pirates: TLoBCI can't say exactly why I decided to pick this game up, but so far I'm glad I did. It's a simple game, but it does a great job of setting up solid goal and reward hierarchies. There's a large island chain to explore, treasure to hunt for, and plenty of bad pirates to slay (I, of course, am a good pirate). Every time I start to get bored with the game, it either tosses me a bone (i.e. new weapon or ability) or dangles one in front me (i.e. new fort to conquer). Those who know me personally will know that it is with great difficulty that I say this... The Legend of Black Cat has somewhat opened my eyes to the reasons why six million people are so doggone nutty about WoW. Dan White |
