Twenty lives

The more I play Twenty Lives, the more impressed I am with the thought that has gone into it. Each day is a different life, but the lives all intersect in some way - the business tycoon Victor Connoly has a sister who is a chef, and she is trying to stop a fight breaking out in her restaurent with singer Bobby Hay, who is in negotiations with Cat Wolfe of CatStatic records. Then we have the lothario, the movie director, the aspiring actress, the casting agent, the stuntman, the roadie turned dj and the papparazo photographer, and let's not forget Steve Sunday, the ultimate radio chat show host. As with previous Nokia games, this is really pushing the boundaries for the technology of internet gaming - some of the segments take a while to load, but after that the experience is something else. I am honestly not bothered whether I win any of the prizes or not - this is easily one of my top gaming experiences, up with Baldur's Gate, Interstate 76, Aliens vs Predator 2 and even the mighty San Andreas ...
