The Daedalus Encounter

Just got this today in beautiful shape. Complete in box, still wrapped in the seal with the hang tab, though the seal was open at the top to allow the box's contents to be removed. The box has such a beautiful new sheen to it that you'd think it was a brand new DVD. I'm not bothered much about the condition of a game's packaging, but at this moment it serves as a nice reminder that the overwhelming majority of online sellers are honest.
I love my interactive movies, so I popped this one in today and made it well into Disc Two in a single sitting. Most folks seem unenthused with this one, so I was pleasantly surprised. It's really a quality science fiction adventure story, nice and fast-paced and pretty well-grounded in realism, without resorting to muddy technological concepts to make up for a lack of ingenuity. The characters are likable and the actors do a good job of keeping the two-character dynamic lively. The gameplay interface makes a refreshing change from the FMV standbys of rail shooting, point-and-click, and QTEs.
And I really, really like the Math-based puzzles. They're a little easy so far, but not too easy, and I'm playing on Medium difficulty so hey, there's some replay value. I especially liked the pentagrams puzzle. Classic fun.
