Played and played, 'just one more' my mantra. Got into a very altered state of mind. May well have helped me retain what I was learning, since I only played after finished studying, and used a different part of my brain. <br /><br />Haven't played since, can't find either game now, not properly. Never got the idea of the FPS games or D&D type. Just get frustrated and turn them off. <br /><br />Ok, I'd love to have an analogous Welltris today.
