Guest davidhorn Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 James Sweet takes a sneak peek at Microsoft Links for the Orange SPV. Is this a hole in one for Hexacto, or is this game The Weakest Link? The preview features loads of screenshots and is pretty extensive. Well worth a read, even if I say so myself :lol: Read the full review! (Sorry to just cut and paste the news item, but I'm in a bit of a hurry!)
Guest Gorskar Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 An excelant review if I do say so myself :lol: those screenshots weren't easy with both smartSS and links competing for memory!
Guest Richie M Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Gorskar's writing debut I believe :lol: Luck sod :( I didn't have time when David 1st posted about this :D maybe next time ;) Nice review, well done :lol:
Guest James Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 this game just looks sooooo good! i hope its released soon and wont cause much of a dent in my already battered wallet.
Guest tom2 Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 When is this game due out - I thought it was last month???
Guest James Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 when i asked 2 weeks ago they said about 2 weeks! wonder where it it!
Guest Gorskar Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Erm not sure... I'll try emailing them to ask. I'll be sure to post a news item on www.smartgamer.org when it's released.
Guest karmapolice Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Still even at $25.00 it will be well worth the dosh...Its the first big named title for the SPV...looks great!!
Guest James Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 i know what you mean, its the only program i have really been waiting for.
Guest Vector Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Yeh, i'm a golf addict, and this game looks sooo wicked, i'm definetly buying it even if it does cost me alot :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 WORMS WORMS WORMS! :) P i know what you mean, its the only program i have really been waiting for.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Paul, but you have Snails and it looks just like Worms except the shells :)
Guest karmapolice Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 I think Links is gonna be a major benchmark in the history of the SPV....its gonna be the game where all other games are judged by..The people will buy a smartphone for this game...!! Its about time that the Spv smartphone users have something to rave about...not a "bustem or motorcross"which are quality or a snails which is cool...but a true player.....LINKS Karmapolice
Guest Gorskar Posted May 9, 2003 Report Posted May 9, 2003 Yes, its the first game with a full development team behind it (probably), and the quality just oozes out of it. There is a quit option on it though - so I can't see it getting "designed for microsoft smartphone" certification. ([sarcasm]some measure of quality THAT is![/sarcasm]) Enough resect however to the developers of games currently out there. There are some real gems (that new rocketelite looks very nice!), but I think Links raises the barrier closer to what we expect from good PC games. :) I guess as faster smartphones become available, and when developers decide they can push the cab file sizes up (links is v-big in comparison to most other games) then games will improve likewise.
Guest James Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 "]WORMS WORMS WORMS! :) P well i thought about worms but not sure how well that would play on the SPV.
Guest Gorskar Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 Presumably if snails can be made to work well on an spv, then so can worms...
Guest James Posted May 10, 2003 Report Posted May 10, 2003 well i have not played it so i can t really judge yet...... will wait for worms.....
Guest James Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 still no word on links??? Gorskar, ddd you ever get a reply?
Guest ClintEastman Posted May 12, 2003 Report Posted May 12, 2003 From what i hear it coming free with DNF!! :)
