Neverhood...couldn't get into that one. Something about playing a character with no personality whatsoever that just bugs me. That's why I've always been turned off by Myst-style games. No character interaction just kills a game for me. No one to tell me what I have to do? Fine, then I'm not doing it. And Willie Trombone's videos did not effectively embody "character interaction" for me to warrant completion of the game. If it got better during the second half (I only got to the point where part of the land got...unhinged, or whatever it was that happened there), maybe I'll go back and play it someday...but, like a meal at a downtown New York Chinese-food place, every time I tried it, I ended up feeling empty ten minutes later.
