Hello people.

You might have noticed on the front page there's a large news update devoted to you and what you're doing in the land of istories.

What do you think of it?

That aside, I'm trying to work the trophy room into something more spectacular, so I'm calling on you the readers, to find a copy of your favourite iStory and review it in this thread. You could even review a couple of favourites. They don't have to be long, a paragraph or two will do. And if we get enough in we just might see them on the site soon.

If you can do this, it will be much appreciated. Not only will you get cookies, but you will also help out your favourite underdog website.

Thanks.

The Despair Trilogy
Packed with detail and gore. A few typos, etc. I found the gore to be a little excessive, but I understand that it was (mostly) necessary. I liked the character changing system, where you'd play as different people. Great storyline. The first in the series was unrealistic, but you should read it to help establish the setting. Rik's writing definitely improved from the first Despair to the third.
Length: The first - 7 minutes, the second two - 13-16 minutes

The Colour of Magic & The Sending of Eight
A little too detail-less. Great sentence structure, interesting and fun story. VERY random.
Length: Each one about 7-10 minutes

White Room
Very trippy. Great introduction, nice and suspenseful. Crammed with details and obvious references. The characters keep you wondering. A little confusing. A LOTTLE confusing. An excellent read.
Length: 9-13 minutes

Flight 27
Pretty good. Plenty of action, plenty of detail. Mars designed the characters well enough (as usual) so that you can accurately imagine the stuff about them that he left out. The action was realistic. The action kept you playing.
Length: 5 minutes

The Zirk Trilogy
Great! Nice and lengthy. The details were few and sparing, as it was written in the style of the first adventure CYOA's. Pretty true to the adventure genre.
Length: Each 6-8 minutes

Doom
Although few and far between like game/book/movie remakes in the forms of iStories, this is one that I wouldn't minded.. that is to say, if it were a little longer or more descriptive when it came to fighting. The writer did well enough at putting the player at the scene, but there were too many typos, and "a demon jumps at and kills you" doesn't quite cut it for the fighting. And it was only about ten pages long.

For this, I give it a 5/10
