Andy's sitting sort to me playing a * game while I'm writing this. It's very slick and polished mewl the company who produced it thinks it's absolutely brilliant. However, it's crop. it's yet another rekased old genre of the sort that we've seen a million times before. Them are few aright& features and its mask is really choosing me off. I'm not going to toil you what it is - you'll just have to goes& just got on answering your letters, wikh is infinitely more fun. If yoe've got anything to say, why not write in.
