Good: Functional and elegant
Bad: Not very entertaining or…orginal.
Not Recommended to: people with Alzheimers. Actually, can you recommend any game to someone with Alzheimers?

This is one of the games I had to review. While it does everything you’d expect it to, you’d expect it to do more. Sounds like something your parents would say…

Anyway, back on track, it was only a few weeks ago that I made a memory card game for MinorHack, a 1-hour competition. BNW is a memory card game for a 72-hour competition. You’d it expect it to be 72 times better, but alas, it is not. I guess you can’t really expect someone to actually use every hour of the competition though.

Overall: I didn’t run into any bugs and the game is fairly well-polished. However, it’s pretty boring, slow and not very original. And even though I didn’t like X-men 3, I will give you a 3.
Artistical: I’m not sure how news is an art, but I’m not a journalist either. The news is blatantly obvious and the rest of the game-art is fairly appealing. Unfortunately, I just can’t shell out more than another 3.
Technical: I’ve already mentioned several times the game is functional. The fire and the smoke, although very plain-jane, work effectively within the game. I’ll give you the exact count of how many times I said “expect” above. What more could you expect from me?
Genre: When you have to open the readme to see how garbage (and it’s related items) fit with the overall scheme, the genre is not very obvious. Two for you, Scooby Doo.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 4 Genre 2

A reasonably good rendition of the classic memory game.

In particular, the fire effects are extremely nice-looking. In fact, they\'re probably my favorite part of the game.

The garbage aspect, though, is somewhat absent and seems a little tacked-on.

As for the inclusion of news, the news is obviously integral to the game, so no real complaint there.

Overall, good, but could have been better in some ways.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 5 Genre 2
