Just recently got Colin's Classic Cards and Otto Matic, from Aspyr. Both pretty decent games (especially Colin's Classic Cards!!) and they both arrived in DVD cases. No waste, and they store nicely. Wish all companies did this. Can't wait for Spiderman and what ever else they have up their sleeve!

I would prefer they sell their software in the standard cardboard box and jewel case combination because I store my CD's in a deck for jewel cases.

Alien vs Predator is in DVD case too and I love it. It's much nicer instead of those infamous cracked jewel case. They're so easy to break.

Even though they crack easily, I still prefer a standard from factor for packaging software products. If everyone used the jewel case, I wouldn't have to keep extras around to put the rebellious DVD-cased game in.

I would like to think that the company is a good one. However, when they were taking pre-orders for Undying back in July or August, I game 'em my money. For one I wanted to support Mac Gaming development and support Macs in general. It was supposed to be released in October and it is still not ready as of today. Not to mention when I was finally fed up, I cancelled my order. I still haven't received the credit to my card. In case anyone was curious the reason why I cancelled it was because I was tired of paying interest for months on something that was appeared to be vaporware.

I guess I just wanted to caution everyone that it has happened to me so it could happen to others.

I hope that they eventually release Undying, I still want to play it.

Well, the companies have finally figured it out, that's all. They're most likely sick and tired of being flamed by consumers by having their new game's disc damaged because of poor packaging. Long live the DVD cases!
