Oyyyy... I agree with this one... this game just sucks up hours like you wouldn't believe. But then, the first game was also quite addictive so I guess I'm not surprised.
In my case, I'm lucky (or rather, my health level is lucky) that since I had to install the game on my roommate's computer (my own computer is too wimpy) I have to take breaks to, you know, let him use his computer. And even now I'm itching to fire up the game again to see if I can fix the problems that let the AI kick my butt a couple times.
Kudos indeed, for designing such a perfect way to utterly obliterate time.
Peace & Luv, Liz
