There will be so much to explore in Big-Brother. You'll feel like a 14 year old in a whore house. So much to see and do. Each `level' is approximately 10 city blocks in size, and there will be 12 levels in the final game. For those of you who went through public school systems that's 120 city blocks, everyone filled with numerous puzzles and other goodies.

By now you might be wondering how to know what you have to do and when? With 10 city blocks on every level things can probably get pretty confusing. Not in Big-Brother though. Big-Brother basically lets the player figure things out for himself, but if it seems like the person can't get it, a text message might be displayed on the screen to help the gamer get back on track. There are also text messages describing your actions so you know exactly what you're doing.

This is the first game in quite a while that I honestly can't wait to get my hands on. I am a long time fan of the adventure genre. Well, not as long as some people… I never really played Zork or anything. My interest started with Kings Quest 5. From there I went on to Monkey Island, and everything took off from that point. Until Myst, and the death of the genre. Luckily games like The Curse of Monkey Island and Big-Brother are breathing new life into the genre with a fury matched only by the fury of the 3DGN editor when I don't have my preview done for 3 nights in a row. But here it is!! Finally. Just kidding folks, Rick is actually really cool with my slackness. I'm just glad I'm working here and not some place with those things, what are they called? Oh yeah... deadlines. Well, I have to get cracking on a Quickie so I think I'll go reread 1984.
