I think that the sticking point is that Greg never played the game, and
so it wasn't a review.  It was a one sentence description with a negative
connotation.  It wasn't a great thing to put because he had never played
the game, but at the same time, I hardly think it was so bad as to cause
such an uproar.

So...bottom line A doesn't really fit this situation.

I like the game, but I'll be waiting to see what the net pricing policy
will be.  I'm not sure that anything other than a flat rate will work
for head-to-head games, and even for 12 player games.  I don't mind paying
for the developement costs, but when human hands never touch my turn,
I feel that anything over $2.50-$3.00 a week is pushing it.  But I
digress.

BTW, is there an xconq port to the PC?
