  Now, the reason this issue only earned : To be honest, I think the writers take it as a given that the reader is familiar with the game. If you dont play the game, you will probably find yourself rather lost. The stories are shorter than normal to accommodate the "Paragon Times" at the end, which isn't really necessary as the site carries a similar thing. Does it belong there? No probably not. Just a bit of creative licence that I could live without. The stories are also not of a very high standard. I mean they are alright, a tad linear with few shocks (though issue #2 and #3 provided a big one) and a slight lack of creativity. Essentially, the book is outstanding for players of the game and marginally better than average for everyone else. Read Full Review
