I just received the X-Play newsletter this morning (a show on TechTV, airing DirecTV channel 354), and they're taking a look at Culdcept tonight! Since I sent them an E-mail a a month or two ago asking them to review it, I'm rather interested to see if this game is introduced via my E-mail.....
Anyway, here's the newsletter text:
A NOTE FROM ADAM There are some things you can rely on nowadays. Winter is cold and somehow that's always news. Someone is always yelling on MSNBC, and "Ninja Gaiden" will be delayed less than a week before its posted release date. That's a real pity because I'm running out of things to play. I mean really running out. I'm looking at ancient PC games like "Kingpin" and "Nox" to see if they are as middle of the road as I remembered them. But I digress.
What happens when you mix Monopoly with monsters and magic? You get "Culdcept," a strange and addictive card-battle title. We also have "American Idol" Is it good? Will Pat Buchanan pose nude for Maxim? But when it's this bad, it's a whole lot of fun to review. Watch this and more on tonight's show.
This specific edition of X-Play will air at the following times (based upon the Eastern time zone):
Tuesday, February 24 - 11:00pm Wednesday, February 25 - 2:00am and 4:00pm Saturday, February 28 - 11:30pm Sunday, February 29 - 4:30pm
Make sure that you watch!!
- DirecTV channel 354 - Dish Network channel 191 - C-Band satellite C4, transponder 12

SPOILER!!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Spoiler space . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Spoiler space . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . After watching X-Play's review, I found that the most interesting thing that was said was a statement uttered by Adam Sessler following the review piece: "Culdcept is Disgaea with cards."Makes me kinda glad that I picked up Disgaea a couple of weeks back...

I was dissapointed with the review for a couple of reasons. I can't believe they factored in the idea that they thought "Culdcept" was a weird name. They did that with Disgaea too! These are my two top games right now. I also don't like the fact that they attacked the graphics without mentioning that the PS2 version is a Dreamscast port! Although, I knew the mocking of Goligin was coming .
