Puzz Power review, on 1st paragraph, 3rd sentence, said:

To successfully complete a puzzle, not only must you direct the current through the maze, but you mush also collect all of the white bolts scattered throughout most of the mazes before moving the current to the exit tile.

That kind of inversion won't work when it's preceded by something else (a hideous split infinitive in this particular case ), so it should be 'you must not only'. I also suspect that the 'mush' should be another 'must'.

Corrected.

Norman Cook review, on 2nd paragraph, 3rd sentence, said:

There's not really a whole lot of sound used in the game either than the soft music and the occasional sound effects that you'll hear...

That 'either' should probably be an 'other'.

Lure of the Temptress review last paragraph said:

IMPORTANT: In order to bypass the copy protection, when you start the game you should move the mouse cursor into the top left corner, press the left mouse button and choose Restart game from the menu!

Isn't that somewhat weird?

[A. J. Raffles]

Well, I suppose you could get rid of the awkward 'should', change 'choose' to 'select', move the 'when you start the game' bit and move the first comma, but as far as I can tell, the sentence is more or less grammatically correct...

[A. J. Raffles]

I thought the comma was just misplaced and should have gone after 'game'.

[Juni Ori]

Yeah, that would make it sensible to me. Wonder why I didn't think that up on my own...

[DeathDude]

I'll fix up that mistake when I can AJ, actually interesting tidbit, this review was my 2nd one I ever did for AR, after 6 days assasin.

Free Abuse review said:

The only question that is left unanswered is - why can't there be more well lit areas, maybe in the begining

Beginning. (That's not the only thing, though; I think we might want to look at this review a bit more closely...)

By the way, is it just me or does the first paragraph read a lot like Kosta's Abuse review on AB?

Doubler's interview with Edwin Bos:
He asks if v7.0 is final, when the final release is 0.7

Quote

On your site it says that, as the old code was insufficient to implement all the updates you had planned, you were forced to redesign the game from scratch, and I've heard you chose to discontinue development of the game. Does this mean that V7.0 is 'final'?

All other references to 0.7 are correct.

Unless the hero of the Apprentice series has changed his name between part I and part II, that should be 'Pib', not 'Pip'.

[DeathDude]

Anyways fixed.
