G-Force
May 14 2008
**...

CAL6N  I can't believe the greed of the developer. I've blindly paid the annual upgrade-tax since it was first introduced. I must have paid over $50 by now, and for what? A plug-in for iTunes that was quite clever 5 years ago.

Well, it's not clever now. It may have improved its frame rate at higher resolutions, but it hasn't progressed one bit. The FREE Magnetosphere is at the start of its life and is far more interesting than this, but if you want to see what a real visualiser should be like, go and look at milkdrop on a windows machine. It's free, it's innovative and it shows the G-Force team up for the money-grubbing, amateurs that they are. Check out ProjectM, although it's in its infancy and the many new quartz-composer based visualisers that are springing up.

More problems: Firstly, EVERY time I upgrade, I have to trash all the crap "sprites" that are supplied and replace the collection I've built through the years. Secondly, this POS now insists on licence verification over the internet for EVERY upgrade installation. Thirdly, it won't play nicely through a video mixer and projector set-up.

This greedy bunch of slackers won't be getting their upgrade tax this year, or ever again, from me. It is, after all, just a third-rate iTunes plug-in.

On a more positive note, most versions rarely crash.

G-Force

CAL6N  You must be both rich and easily pleased, mate, because G-Force is an expensive, substandard visualiser. It might have got faster over the years but it hasn't actually progressed enough to justify the annual upgrade-tax. Go and have a look at milkdrop on a windows machine. It makes this look like an infant's finger-painting on a paper doily.

****.

CAL6N  Version 1.0.1 seems to have solved the lock-up that 1.0 inflicted on my Mac Pro and I'm pleased that it has because genuinely new puzzle games are always welcome here!

HOLMESFUTRELL  Could you tell me more about your system? What kind of hardware, OS, etc?

I have done my best to test POV on a wide range of systems, both PowerPC and Intel, and never during testing did it lock a system up. If you provide me more information I can investigate this further.

CAL6N  NOooo!!!

There goes the rest of my spare time!

I'd managed to tell myself that it wasn't worth getting a PC to play this game. But now...

I keep getting errors such as:

"The specified object is a property, not an element. (-10008)"

CAL6N  Leopard has broken this useful little plug-in.

Installation fails with a "run postflight script" error.

Shame...
