Well i guess they are running out of ideas for games.
Wouldn't it just be better to buy a book of 1000 or so crosswords for $5 then spend $40 on this game.

This is the kind of thing that would be perfect as a Sudoku replacement in a Brain Age sequel. As a standalone game, it can't be sold at full price. Budget pricing is a must for a title such as this.
Thanks for listening.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.
