This was an interesting game to play. It has a rather unique concept (you put together newspaper headlines from falling words to match current new headlines retrieved from a variety of news websites).

This puts this game by far as the best artistic implementation as it is essential to the game. Also the game is very cleanly structured, performed without a hitch and the presentation is excellent.

However with that said, I couldn\'t bring myself to like this game. It needs some for of added excitement or a twist to make the game unique, no time limit makes the game an exercise of patience rather then enjoyment for example.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 5 Technical 4 Genre 2

Headline Recycler is from the technical view a grat game, building news out of news from rss feeds is a gerat idea.
But the game is sometimes frustration if you are waiting one or two minutes for a missing word to complete a headline.
An other negative point on this game is that there is no \"working against the time\" mode in the higher difficulty modes...

This game makes fun and has much potential to be a great game.

OK, this review might be a little skimpy compared to other people but i will try my best as i am on a mac right now and ran it last week.

pros:
-ok So I love the artwork for the game, especially the intro screen.
-the whole realtime news thing is awesome
-i like the interface for clicking on the headlines

cons:
-im kind of stupid so i couldn\'t really figure out if there was a \"point\" to the whole cutting and pasting thing. Making some really funny sentences from the things that fell was cool but i just didn\'t get it.
-can\'t remember if there wa fire or something in there.

if anyone sees this and thinks im crazy please let me know... shoot me an email at themuller@gmail.com

knowing how hard it was for me to make my cruddy game i admire what was put into this. Great job overall man!
