    This may be a little late, but I've been paying attention to nongame related news lately.<p>Anyway, <a href="http://www.game-over.net/">Game Over</a> has posted their <a href="http://www.game-over.net/reviews.php?id=650">take</a> on <a href="http://www.arcanum1.com/">Arcanum</a>. They give it an <b>80%</b>, citing the usual.<p><blockquote><br>Unfortunately, while Troika made all sorts of good decisions about gameplay, all sorts of things when wrong when they developed the gaming engine, and so Arcanum is a game that?s a little better in theory than it is in actuality. Let?s start with the interface, which has numerous problems. For starters, it takes up too much room and then wastes a lot of the space it does take up. Troika provided a ?fullscreen? mode in its latest patch, which makes the interface much less conspicuous, but it also removes some useful information (like how much ammunition you have and what time it is), and it forces you to use hotkeys (which, of course, aren?t configurable).<br></blockquote><p>This was spotted over at <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com/">Blues</a>.<br>
