Something wonderful is about to happen for BlackBerry PlayBook owners but what is it?
By
Bla1ze on 23 Apr 2012 05:34 pm
Update: Well it looks like a lot of you were right. It's Angry Birds Space! (For real this time). Check out more here.
According to Anders Jeppsson, Head of Gaming Category at Research in Motion something wonderful is about to happen for BlackBerry PlayBook owners. To be more specific, here is what he had to say via his Twitter account:
@ajeppsson - Charge your #playbook! Get a full night of rest! Something wonderful is about to happen! Be sure to check #AppWorld tomorrow :-)
We have our suspicions on what it may be, but what do you all think it may be? Sound off in the comments.

BB10 Update? :O

Gaming Category?!?
Seriously, are they still in the mood for that?
Sometimes not doing anything is better than doing stupid things....
martinjdub Apr 24, 2012 at 8:34 am
I love my Playbook but "something wonderful" should have happened over a year ago
Marvin-13 Apr 24, 2012 at 12:21 am
SURPRISE! Everything is free!!!! (to help soften the blow when we tell you you're actually not getting the BB10 update until 2014...sorry...)
JackKennedy Apr 24, 2012 at 6:55 am
Has RIM really not learned in the past few years?
You build up anticipation when you have actual things to wow people...you don't build up anticipation to set up your loyal fans for disappointments.
KeiFeR123 Apr 24, 2012 at 10:14 pm
I think that will be it for RIM if they announced that BB10 won't be coming out until 2014. BB users are really nice people and we haven't given up on RIM. :) Whenever people tell me to switch to iPhone, I just give them the poker face and it works...
Marvin-13 Apr 26, 2012 at 11:27 pm
I will NEVER get the iphone. I hate the iphone. It is so boring and un-customisable! I hate Apple, and I hate itunes. I tried going Android (Evo 3D) but swithced back to Blackberry when Sprint got the Torch 9850. However, if BB10 isn't what we're hoping for, I wouldn't mind going back to Android.

BB 9800 n Playbook - Just received an Application Update 3mb doesn't say what and I have to restart. 2.0.1.358 version
eportjay Apr 24, 2012 at 6:02 am
It cant be anything big unless it bbm or bb10 :) :)
Playbookowner Apr 24, 2012 at 8:15 am
I wish, but please I don't care about those bird games. I want netflix and Skype but I know it's not gonna happens
Or all games for ten cents each for one day or to two or three days sales:)
BTFan Apr 23, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Free games
tremarco69 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:36 pm
I very Curious!!! What is it!!!
ranchlizard Apr 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Draw Something?
cbvinh Apr 23, 2012 at 7:47 pm
What's the matter with Sketch with Friends?! It's great!
sirpaul896 Apr 23, 2012 at 8:10 pm
The best part about Draw With Friends is that everyone with an iPhone or Android phone has it. It's become the standard - nobody wants to have two drawing games on their device instead of one.
xKrNMBoYx Apr 23, 2012 at 9:23 pm
There isn't much wrong with Sketch with Friends (except unstable servers, free version not working during different times not letting people play)
But the biggest problem is not everyone is using it. What is the point of a "Instagram" copy when it isn't the real deal? The copy does not have the same community or ecosystem.
Sketch w/ Friends is the same thing. Yeah its available for all android devices, but it's only available for iPads on iOS which is the deal killer
xKrNMBoYx Apr 23, 2012 at 9:20 pm
What I was thinking
ambarmetta Apr 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I hope it's not just Angry Birds Space.
cyberstorm Apr 23, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Ditto
blackberry-pimp Apr 23, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Me either. But it's likely that will be it. I'm excited though!
ordigas Apr 23, 2012 at 5:49 pm
I think it may be.
luqman24 Apr 23, 2012 at 6:08 pm
I hope it's Netflix actually.
djtaube Apr 23, 2012 at 6:28 pm
I agree. Zero interest in Angry Birds anything.
Thunderbuck Apr 23, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Since the tweet in question is coming from a software guy from the gaming area, I'm doubting he's hinting about Netflix.
Cazurela Apr 23, 2012 at 10:40 pm

shiftysdad Apr 23, 2012 at 7:21 pm

BigR3dBri Apr 23, 2012 at 9:45 pm
+1 I hope it is Netflix app... that would be so cool but it probable is Angry Birds Space
xeju Apr 23, 2012 at 7:31 pm
It will be Angry Birds Space.
The guy is head of gaming, and "something wonderful is about to happen" is a paraphrase of a line from 2010, the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I just wish it was Draw Something instead.
yanicmb Apr 24, 2012 at 7:54 am
real damn good thinking lol
louboutins Apr 23, 2012 at 9:30 pm
That's what I was thinking as well!
BlogBerry.hk Apr 24, 2012 at 7:54 am
+1, even if it's some other games, I still don't think it's considered as "wonderful"!
mangofed Apr 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
There's no chance its Netflix, right?
Rootbrian Apr 23, 2012 at 10:39 pm
No
shemaree09 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Hopefully some popular apps :p
Hamp Apr 23, 2012 at 5:54 pm
This would be the better idea.
jr4941 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Bla1ze - 1st you sent a link about the Jaycut video editor, and now this! Full of good news!
koolrosh Apr 23, 2012 at 5:53 pm
What link?
jr4941 Apr 23, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Take a look see on your PlayBook:

*Fingers crossed* for Tomb Raider!!! :D
Just Me Apr 24, 2012 at 12:36 am
Fingers and toes. Angry birds? Seriously people that is not a fun game. Tomb Raider has to be the best game ever. Even Master Chief aint got nothing on Lara either.
9of13 Apr 24, 2012 at 1:20 am
Ditto! I remember seeing the demo for it in the past. Lara is the most gangsta ever!!!!
Berrimad Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
SKYYYPE Pleeeeaase!!!
ryanlrobinson Apr 23, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Skype, like Netflix, recently said on Twitter they have no plans to develop for PlayBook.
koolrosh Apr 23, 2012 at 7:44 pm
Skype was bought by Microsoft now, so I doubt they will bring an app to the Playbook. Except of course of if we see a partnership between RIM and MS like some are speculating.
Just Me Apr 24, 2012 at 12:33 am
Skype who? Netflix nobody. They are not required on the PlayBook or my BB. Ive never had an account with either nor do I plan on getting one.
birdman_36 Apr 24, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Good for you.
Rootbrian Apr 23, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Are NOT games. Didn't you read the blog? "Gaming Category".
zar1964 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Can't wait!
marvini Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Skype and or Netflix??!!!!???????
Rootbrian Apr 23, 2012 at 10:42 pm
GAMES, not skype and netflix. Read comment above, you'll have to wait 5 years* before skype gets off their lazy ass, same for netflix.
*best guess I could make and that's probably true. But they're STILL 3UK and Verizon's bitches right now.
eportjay Apr 24, 2012 at 8:55 am
NoNo its crap angry birds in space :(
playbookster Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Angry Birds Space, Temple Run, and other highly acclaimed games will be on PB.
mgm1979 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
ALL games will be FREE, for one day only!!!!
willie44 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm
I bet it is Angry Birds Space.
Denus Apr 24, 2012 at 5:42 am

what if you spent $700.
sk8er_tor Apr 23, 2012 at 7:41 pm
If you bought something and aren't happy, then you should have returned it. Anyone who does their research should know what they're getting. I paid full price and I have to regrets. I love my PlayBook.
killa4luv Apr 23, 2012 at 7:52 pm

siddo_d Apr 23, 2012 at 5:43 pm
I was wondering myself but when I saw a comment I agree! Angry birds space!!!!
Jerky223 Apr 23, 2012 at 8:33 pm
+1
I think it's Angry Birds Space too.
marvini Apr 23, 2012 at 5:44 pm
The post advises to charge our PBs so it may very well be a major software update? But then again, we had an update last week...hmmmmm
BB_Bmore Apr 23, 2012 at 6:26 pm
When if ever have you updated your os through Appworld?
johnsbold9700 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:44 pm
ain' t going to be nothing for me, my playbook died and has to go out to be repaired
lockedtight Apr 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm
I hope its not just angry birds in space. We already knew it was coming but didn't know when.
rdallas100 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm
If it's just angrybirds ill be pissed as well rim always does this. So I'm not expecting much
Snipperdo17 Apr 23, 2012 at 5:45 pm
since he is the head of gaming, it is obviously not skype or netflix. probably angry birds space
redk Apr 23, 2012 at 5:46 pm
I thought angry birds was out already.
BB_Bmore Apr 23, 2012 at 5:48 pm
No skype this tweet is from the head of "games" or whatever at RIM.
I'm thinking its gonna be huge like being able to play brick breaker via bridge!!!
Ok ok maybe its just angry birds space which is cool but not "wonderful"
wilfreb Apr 23, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Playbook OS will be replaced by Android!!! yeeeesss!!!
marvini Apr 23, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Why do we need to charge our PBs for angry birds space? In any case, if the "big news" is angry birds space, it's no big deal...I have played it and it's just another game. Nothing to lose sleep over.
koolrosh Apr 23, 2012 at 5:48 pm
Probably Angry Birds Space. Hope i will be surprised though...
kemj Apr 23, 2012 at 5:49 pm
GOSH!!! Shut up and get AB Space if you like it or dont if you dont! All these things are surprises, since no one had any clue on this... ZEUS!! What the heck is wrong with des gens on these days...

Man. i just made an offhand comment about Angry Birds Space...everyone ran with it?
Or maybe I'm thinking too much of myself and my comment.
in any event, it "should" be more than one game. It might also be, hopefully, a series of games, maybe some new dev house got brought in?
koolrosh Apr 23, 2012 at 8:09 pm
I'm not putting my hopes up. I think it's Angry Birds, but if it is more than 1 new game, I will be happy.
Darlaten Apr 23, 2012 at 6:34 pm
It most certainly will not be Skype. How many times does Skype have to say that they are not interested; will not be interested; have never been intersted in developing or supporting the Blackberry Playbook before Playbook fans get the message that it's never coming out.
Personally, I'm really hoping that this is nothing about a specific game per say but rather some sort of announcement that indicates that RIM has arranged for partnership deals with all of the remaining game developers out there that have yet to support the Playbook, i.e., Big Fish Games, Digital Chocalate, Madfinger Games, Zen Studios, Squaresoft, Taito Games, PopCap Games (beyond their 1 title already), to name a few.
Basically, my definition of wonderful is not an Angry Birds Space announcement, I want to see all the major developers bringing over their apps to the Playbook. Now that would be wonderful.

Something BIG about to happen can't be because of a silly game lol. At least I hope it's not.. Dunno why it would be BIG if it's a game?
Nashstruck Apr 23, 2012 at 6:39 pm
I've got a 9900 and iPad 2.
It really is so pitiful seeing all the PB owners go drooling for a game that has been on other platforms for weeks!! It's not your fault that developers are shunning you. It's RIM's!! They're doing a huge injustice to PB owners... Lack of apps, lack of calendar/email initially... Honestly RIM aint treating their loyal customers right. That HAS to change w BB 10.
Fortunately for me, I know;) that some aspects of the BB10 are honestly amazing (task switcher and camera functions r crazy cool), but I doubt RIM's administrative will get sharpened enough to cease the delays they have currently. They need major MAJOR restructuring efforts into getting products out to market.
Hope PB does get something cool tmrw. The damn tablet is the best 7.0 outt here.

"Something wonderful is about to happen!" Is a quote from 2010 A Space Odessy.
jimread1949 Apr 23, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Please please please can somebody explain to me the big deal about angry birds. It's the same as frogger 2 which is an o.k. game but not great. Then you buy it four times each time with a differant backgound. Netflix needs to be renamed net-tv-series as they have very little in the way of decent movies, just old tv series. Skype would be very nice or a link to the video call app we already have.
What I would really like is the ability to print to a printer (wireless or usb) and an upgrade to bluetooth to let me use my Motorola S9 wireless headset
f1mx Apr 23, 2012 at 7:23 pm
dude, the playbook already has A2DP... and there already is an app to print wireless (for real, no print2go)
ordigas Apr 23, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Or perhaps an App World facelift (using Cascades) plus some highly awaited Apps and Games?
Here's hoping! :)
DJBS4LIFE Apr 23, 2012 at 6:51 pm
That would be sick!! Hope it's not BIG because of a game lol.
mphillips828 Apr 23, 2012 at 7:17 pm
I would LOVE this!!! i know the guy is head of games or whatever, but doesn't mean its not something bigger than games...he might just be the one who said something!! Cascades App World would ROCK!

ruiner666 Apr 23, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Would love it to be Words with friends, Draw Something, or the Tomb Raider game they showed a few months back. All three would be sweet. God I hope it's not just Angry Birds Space!
Brianflys Apr 23, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Under-promise and over-deliver. Thor better be bringin' the hammer...
bb.pl Apr 23, 2012 at 6:55 pm
I hope it browser bookmark, or something that decreases the checkerboard.
Or maybe dlna, usb otg. Even a native kindle app for playbook not the sideloaded crap.
Or maybe the Thousands of games that was supposedly waiting in the pipeline.
Or maybe actually get some useful android apps and not the pathetic ones we have now.
The biggest surprise would be if hey say angry birds space was the surprise which certainly would be an Epic Fail.
seafog Apr 23, 2012 at 6:59 pm
I was going to say Kindle App! BUT who needs the Kindle App when we have BOOKREADER!

Coming from "The Head of Gaming Category" its obviously Angry Birds Space.
pblakeney Apr 23, 2012 at 7:03 pm
What ever it is coming it will be good I am sure but I don't need more games at this point. I need business functions and a solid OS with solid features. The games will always be a hit when they arrive. ;-)
eanupe09 Apr 23, 2012 at 7:04 pm
For games I say Words with Friends. Apps in general Skype is my #1. But what would really be stellar is if we could get a unified app store between hand held devices and Playbook. Won't get my hopes too high tho.
seafog Apr 23, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Whatever it is, it sounds positive concerning the Playbook!!!
chrisbagi Apr 23, 2012 at 7:08 pm
I hope it's not angry birds space, that would be horrible and lame. Hopefully it will be something way better, please no ABS. That would really suck for getting are hopes up.
seafog Apr 23, 2012 at 7:08 pm
#1 Would be the availability to post photos.
bbaleno Apr 23, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Well, we will see tomorrow. Maybe angry birds space. Or maybe big dicounrsvon all games again wecwill see tmorrow
loreburne Apr 23, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Could it be Blackberry Music?
Another_Chris Apr 23, 2012 at 7:12 pm
It will most likely be the release of a single game. A great game to be sure, but a game. The head of the gaming division isn't going to announce skype, netflix or an OS update. And it is just a tweet. So the most logical conclusion is a popular game is about to drop.
lnichols Apr 23, 2012 at 7:13 pm
We need apps the aren't games RIM. Your myopic game development strategy is wearing thin.
Bilaal Apr 23, 2012 at 7:17 pm
Or GTA III? That's definitely something Playbook owners should charge their devices for!
blackcaneaddict Apr 23, 2012 at 10:52 pm
But if it's only a single game release it won't be that.
sir.dangerfield Apr 23, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Okay he has me excited even though I don't care too much for games. Now I'm hoping Heinz wont let any of his employees hype us up just to let us down. Please let this message be from the new RIM.
OniPod Apr 23, 2012 at 7:20 pm

How many times has RIM tantalise us with something exciting and then let is down. Sorry Rim, not getting my hopes up,
Look how much you havesunk yourself in a financial hole with all those freebies and price slashing .
Time for some useful apps for us BB faithful ... Not some darn game which I can play it easily on my laptop.
stackberry369 Apr 23, 2012 at 7:35 pm
Wackajimb...you get to hit jim b on trhe head with youyr playbook.
bbgolf Apr 23, 2012 at 7:41 pm
Hope it's a good GPS app.
mikepraba Apr 23, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Friends, Its simple. Please read what the mesage was "Charge your #playbook! Get a full night of rest! Something wonderful is about to happen! Be sure to check #AppWorld tomorrow"
1) it cannot be any native email contact update because they dont go into apps world. It comes up on playbook when you open up.
2) why would you get sleep and charge the playbook? Perhaps a a game that would get you playing a long time.
3)getting a regular game is not supposed to be wonderful. that means something that everyone want. What game it good be?
My guess is it is a Game.
( Can the people in Aisa gets it tonight (Eastern time?)
chesmo Apr 23, 2012 at 11:52 pm
Amen for the GPS app. We need some navigation!

cycomyk Apr 23, 2012 at 7:49 pm
We don't learn eh? Don't put your hopes up, it's RIM we are talking bout here ... Angry birds space is gon be a lil disappointing for me
Smiley88 Apr 23, 2012 at 7:50 pm
How does Netflix and skype fall into gaming? duh!! Must be some game like angry bird space.
Titanius Apr 23, 2012 at 7:57 pm
What, are they going to send out an update to fix my PlayBook's WiFi that the last update screwed up?
mikepraba Apr 23, 2012 at 7:59 pm
Titanius, Nothing wrong with the last update. It was not the best and wanted like native contacts and calender but all working fine. If your wi-fi screwed up, then do a back up and do a factory reset you should be ok
Jean-luc_Picard Apr 23, 2012 at 8:03 pm
So, looking at what's been said we know it has to do with App World. That could either be an app or something with App World itself, but since we're supposed to "check" App World, and I think App World only gets updated during OS updates, that narrows it down to almost definitely being a new app. Beyond that, I don't think there's anything we can say for sure. Since it was leaked by a gaming person, it's probably a game, but you never know. Whatever it is, clearly they haven't done a very good job of optimization, because it's going to guzzle our batteries (or it could just be such an addictive game that we'll play it all day...). My personal hope is either BBM Music or something new from EA (or a new partner) or, even better, and which would be awesome enough I'd need to charge my battery, a TAT demo compilation!
On the other hand, one random person at RIM saying that something good is coming would more likely mean that it's a game he wants, so I think Angry Birds Space is what it will be, but we'll see tomorrow.
mikepraba Apr 23, 2012 at 8:06 pm
AMEN!
sunjammer Apr 23, 2012 at 8:10 pm
If it's only a single app/game that exists on other platforms, this will be a let down. If it's an exclusive game that is coming to PlayBook first, or a collection of games being released from a developer, that would be more impressive.
col.guile Apr 23, 2012 at 8:14 pm
my playbook just got an update to 2.0.1.358 i've had a look in app world but no angry birds space. i cant see anything new. or is there another update to come?
gregorylkelly Apr 23, 2012 at 8:23 pm
The best announcement would be that they made a deal with Zynga. That would be an announcement of epic proportions. I'm bored with words and hanging with friends, but the PlayBook needs those social games ASAP.
MidnightSociety Apr 23, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Let's look at the clues a bit closer. Didn't RIM just annouce an ability to play games cross platforms on the PlayBook. I think this would be a follow up to that. I wonder if it is a game that is shared with the other platforms and RIM finally decides to crash the party.
WrightWords Apr 24, 2012 at 2:24 am
This makes sense ...
jacknewp Apr 23, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Of all the things we need/want/pray for on the PlayBook, it's probably going to be some freakin' game....big wonderful whoopie.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...... ( I still LOVE the PlayBook!!!!)
Double_J75 Apr 23, 2012 at 8:38 pm
+100 for angry birds. I'm not a fan of the games but my son is all over me :(

koool1 Apr 23, 2012 at 8:52 pm
Angry Birds Space for sure. Can't wait, it looks really good!
thecsman Apr 23, 2012 at 9:01 pm
What a bunch of whiners.
Every new game should be welcomed in AppWorld! Angry Birds Space was released a month ago, how long did it take for the first Angry Birds games to arrive to the PlayBook? It took months!
If you or your kids are fans of Angry Birds, it's something to be excited for.
Stop being pathetic and enjoy your PlayBook.
DaveTheA Apr 23, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Angry Birds Space _for free_ might be nice, but it's not worth getting excited about. Given RIM's history of "overpromise, underdeliver" I don't think I'll be getting up too early for whatever it is. I'd be happy to be wrong, of course...
Shutterbug97 Apr 23, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Yeah its probably gonna be AB Space.... Maybe for less than 4.99?!!?! That would be nice...
rexrim Apr 23, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Should be game..maybe angry birds real football or etc..dunno dream about skype or netflix..:p
freya09 Apr 23, 2012 at 9:07 pm
I think it would be Angry Birds Space (the most logical....). I think RIM waited for everybody or most of us to update to os 2.0.1 before releasing Angry Birds Space (probably to limit piracy). Or hopefully Instagram....
Shutterbug97 Apr 23, 2012 at 9:08 pm
God dammit I hate being a day ahead of America, it could have already happened for me :( its 24th in Australia
HorseVu Apr 23, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Diablo 3! I wish... will probably be AB Space... whatever.
BB_Bmore Apr 23, 2012 at 9:17 pm
I think its gonna be bigger than just angry birds space. Most likely a new partnership with a big name company. We will then see many new games all at once. This is probably going to be the first of many big announcements all the way to May 3rd.
Rims fighting for its life here that is no secret. Again,I sure hope to see something bigger then abs. RIM has to make these deals with the big devs for BB10 to have a chance. They have to be done before launch of BB10 not at or around it. Here's to hoping we atart seeing some of these deals come to life tomorrow and on into BlackBerry World.

Angry Birds? Who gives a shit. Give me something I can use, not some over-hyped game.

With Jeppsson's quote and it turns out to be Angry Birds space, one word...lame!
needforbbx Apr 23, 2012 at 9:29 pm
As much as I would like this to be something fantastic, we all know that some of the ppl at Rim live in their own distortion field.
digtech Apr 23, 2012 at 9:27 pm
I really hope I don't get all hyped up and a sleepless night for angry birds... I'd be pissed.!
xKrNMBoYx Apr 23, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Skype, Netflix, Autocad WS (three that I really want but ironically the developers straightout said they WONT develop the app for BB)
Draw Something, Native Word/Scramble w/ Friends, Good Slide Show (picture app), GPS w/ turn by turn direction/voice, oovoo, application where you can take pictures and make 3d models for Revit etc.

Darlaten Apr 23, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Its funny how a little twitter message can generate so much hype and speculation on the part of Playbook users. Now, there's two ways that this could be looked at:
First, and the more positive way, is that Playbook users are very enthusiastic and supportive regarding the Playbook; they look forward to anything that might be coming there way; their willing to purchase any apps that come out on App World; and treat any small tweet from RIM has meaning that greater things are on the horizon.
Second, and the more negative way, is that Playbook users are so desparate for anything that they will pin all their hopes on the smallest of tweets thinking that every one of their problems regarding the Playbook will somehow be miraculously cured; the birds will singing; and the angelic choirs will be heard from above proclaiming peace and prosperity to all mankind.
Tomorrow will be interesting to see what we truly are.

jechow Apr 23, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Something wonderful? - It better be a new game release, such as say Angry Birds Space2 HD (Released first on the PB). I understand why this cannot occur given the user base but its nice to dream.
BTW, I am tired of getting "sloppy seconds" from game developers (ie: last platform to receive the game release and then paying through the nose for the privilege).
Jamaicangirl81 Apr 23, 2012 at 10:22 pm
i want my PB! Waaa!! wont get it till next week.... wonder what this will be?!! and if it will stick around till i get mine next week?!

Marty_LK Apr 23, 2012 at 10:34 pm
I hope it's Angry Birds Space. ABS is a serious departure from the previous ABs and quite fun. It will be "something wonderful" if it is ABS.
desmonddlee Apr 23, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Twitter for BlackBerry PlayBook? BBM?
I am JT Apr 23, 2012 at 10:46 pm
No games will ever fall into the category of "wonderful" for me so I'll remain hopeful it's something more than just a game.
