I dunno if this is in the right spot -- move it around if not. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

PC Gamer has a mini-review of Zen of Sudoku in the October issue. It recieved a respectable 83% score.

    Indeed, this will definitely bring in a lot more attention then ZOS previously had. Now if ZOS could just get a review published in a magazine non-game related to poke interest from the market ZOS really aims at.

    <a href="http://www.gamersinfo.net/index.php?art/id:1219" target="_blank">Click</a> <- someone else appears to be giving Zen of Sodoku a good review. And I remember many people thought Flayra spending tome on a Sudoku game was a bad idea. It's starting to build up popularity.

    Edit: Also can you give me the direct link for that review on pc gamer?

    It's a magazine review. I don't know if they post it online. Sorry.

    They showed some reviews on their site I believe, I guess Zen of Sudoku's review may come out later on their web or not at all.

    When I tried ZOS it chugged a all CPU-cycles it could find, did they ever fix that?

    I was definitely pumped about that review and sales spiked too! It's still in beta so maybe I can convince them to re-review it as well (it's gotten a LOT better in the new version, hopefully to be released this week).

    I just picked up this magazine today and will probably scan the review in, hopefully they won't mind!

    He already DOES think there's more money in casual gaming than in NS, that's why he made ZoS. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    The trick is that that money is his way of financing the NS series... If I understand the situation correctly, we probably wouldn't be seeing the return of these boards if it wasn't for him making it. And it is a genuinely fun game in it's own right, so more power to him, really. Getting money is not, in itself, an inherently evil thing to do.

    Penny Arcade did a mini-review (more of a publicity thing than a real review) a while back; always a good thing to have Tycho say something nice about you to the gaming community.
