I'm quite enjoying one of the new ItBox games.

Anyone else?

If you mean Going For Gold Fotherz, then I don't mind it, but wouldn't seek out an ItBox to play it. In fact, I don't think I've played a current issue of ItBox for around two months.

If we include D.I.C.E in the Open vote, then it's probably that and Paragon at the top.

After finding this a few more times at the weekend and having the same thing happen each time - the game freezing at exactly the point when you reach the 8th* Ammo box - I think we can count this one as a given. Whether this is down to shoddy or sinister programming (i.e. whether it's deliberately set up to do this to stop you winning too much), it's definitely something to bear in mind if you choose to play this game.

* 9 Ammo boxes is presumably the theoretical maximum but I suspect that will be as rare as getting 7 keys on Caesar's.

I voted Paragon. That's the best of the widely-available boxes at the moment.

It's quite possible to find a KUDOS or DICE/OPEN with good line-ups (although equally quite a few with duff line-ups as well). itBox and Gamesnet are both a bit of a joke at the moment, and the new Ind:e menu is beneath comment (although the one before the most recent remains good). Paragons have six or seven solid titles, and one or two very solid, and in what little time I have to play SWPs at the moment I would probably want to spend playing Paragons.

Paragon for me.

Has my 3 fave games: Hex, PMP, MOTD:TRTG (bit long winded).

Also enjoying By Any Means at the moment, tho i wish they'd make the buttons bigger on the rowing game.

Which bit? Enjoying the game or the buttons? :) Dunno why but my fingers always seem to drift away from where the buttons actually are.

i was doing the same as you before someone pointed out (on here) that you can use the boat icon in the middle which makes it three times easier to steer. even if you have sausages for fingers.
nobody ever wins on those things.

Regarding the Kudos machine is its low rating down to the low numbers of them out there?
