And I had the same problem. You never quite find a good stopping point. It is always just one more thing. :) When I upgraded from my preview copy to the final release version, it wiped out all of my saved games, but I did not mind starting over again one bit. :) Doug @ Auggie, sorry to provide you with such a terrible distraction. :) I actually found a good game provided a perfect study break when I was in law school.. :) Good luck with your class.

I see your point how a clock (counting the days) would be useful, and a button rotating through the buildings. However, I believe that WestWard is also a regular desktop PC game, and perhaps the PDA version doesn't include it because the desktop version doesn't include it. But don't quote me on that. What's more important is that indeed it is very had to put this game down. When you've finished a task there will always be a task waiting for you, so this game always gives the feeling "Oh let me just do that task as well, and then stop playing for a while". But then you'll also want to complete the next task. And when you can move to a new location, there will be the temptation to at least get a decent civilization running, so again you will want to keep playing! And indeed the graphics are great as well. :) Good article. I see your point how a clock (counting the days) would be useful, and a button rotating through the buildings.

As long as I get a C in my class I'll be alright. Maybe I'll stick to the trial for now, so I won't fail my class from lack of attention and STUDYING. but thanks for the review!
