The PSP version is good then? I was scared when I saw that GAmespot didn't rate it much higher than the DS version.

Anyway I just think EA should have streamlined the game for the DS and just made better use of the (handheld) platform. It just seemed to take too long to play a game and too much time was spent watching your team lineup for every play. It didn't strike me as particularly suited for the handheld DS. A platform which won me over by being more even more convenient than a console.

They could done some sweet stuff with the dual screen and touchscreen too. But their effort was about 95% short of 100%. I'm being kind here.

Capitalism is supposed to work in bringing the best products to the market for the cheapest cost. But this feels more like some of the products you might have owned in Mother Russia 30 years ago. Broken down. Inefficient. Unloved. Old.

Um... okay, I haven't actually played the DS version so I'm assuming a lot here. I agree with you, and the reason I didn't buy the DS version was because I wasn't impressed with how they ported it (or the limited graphics on the DS). So far I think the PSP version is just a touch below the main console version so I'm not sure what GameSpot is smoking*. I mainly just wish the PSP version had the QB "cone of sight" feature - which, to me, is the best thing about Madden 06.

* but I am sure whatever it is, also made them write 3000 words and use a lot of namby-pamby language.

I´ve found this download site for old Neverhood game:
The Neverhood download

You might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware.

This is not a legal download. Microsoft still owns this game's copyright. Please do not post any more links to that site.

And while I recommend the game highly, I suggest you hit eBay to get a copy.

... I was just trying to figure out the reference - it is a very old thread ...

But, yes, abandonware is a tricky thing even when the IP holders seem to be gone.

[momGamer]

Well in this case, the current IP holders are very much around.

Should I add "abandonware" to the list o' crap not to post here in the Forum Rules?

Yep - tell them no linking to abandonware or a random thread will be locked!
