Odd that, I usually just download the Cab File instead, straight to the XDA...

No PC needed at all...

The game can be installed as a demonstration with the caveat being it will only run for 15 days and games sessions are limited to 5 minutes.

I suppose each to their own, but it reminded me of the boring bits in the Age of Empires type games, i.e. resource collection and building, without all the good bits like the Smash, Bash, and Slash parts...

Re: Review: Spb's Air Islands Game

Hey, Jester,

Spb gave the heads up re the demo status in an e-mail, if they are wrong, I'll change the review.

With regards to the cab install, thanks for letting me know. The web site for the game wasn't up when the previews were released to review ready for launch.

I'll check the website and edit the review as necessary.

Cheers,
