    Gaming visionary? Will somebody defrag his hard drive already?


Lawyers from Hell puts Mutant Wizards in the News

Forbes:

One striking exception to the otherwise uniformly dire news coming from the tech sector: Mutant Wizards, the upstart East coast gaming company whose first offering, a role-playing game called Lawyers from Hell, took the gaming industry by storm last year, winning every major award and racking up phenomenal sales. Critics say it's too soon to tell if MW will be able to build on its initial success or whether it will turn out to be a one-hit wonder, but Rob Langslow, the company's CEO and gaming visionary, predicts that the sequel, Lawyers from Hell II, will dwarf its predecessor, and promises to unveil a robust and varied product line in future months.

Fortune:

Lawyers from Hell, the Mutant Wizards' initial offering, provides enough excitement to please all but the most diehard arcade game-player, while the authenticity with which it simulates a real-life courtroom will appeal to players who have outgrown swords and ray guns.

Computer Gaming World:

While this game may be fascinating for Court TV junkies and anyone who flunked out of law school in their first semester, it's hard to imagine that it would provide many hours of gaming enjoyment for anyone else.

Hey . . . guys? I know I said to put the CGW quote on the site, but now that I read it again--isn't it a little negative sounding? Can't we fix that? Have them say something else?
Rob.

I share your concern about the CGW quote, but may I point out that this is real life, not a game scenario? That happens to be what CGW said.
Jack R.

Yeah, but can't we jazz is up a little? So it sounds more like what Fortune said? I like that one a lot better.
Rob.

The whole point of a quote is that it's supposed to be what the reviewer said, not what you wish he'd said.
Jack.

Okay, but can't we change it a little--use those dots you always see in quotes. Can't we say ". . . fascinating for . . . anyone . . . many hours of gaming enjoyment." Or maybe--

No, Rob.
