progI finally finished Emily Short's Bronze. It took me several hours, spread over a few weekends. It is good; you should play it. Fans of fairy-tale reconstructions may especially like it, and IF newbies may also like it since it has a tutorial mode and a hint system, but I did not use these so I cannot speak for them. The manual is very nice, though.
J lent me Trauma Center: Under the Knife for DS tonight. I played it a little after finishing that last angel application. It's quite clever: an updated version of the old Mac game Life and Death (iirc), where you use the stylus as a variety of medical tools to deprive people of their tumors and polyps and so on in a semi-realistic OR setting.
Unfortunately, one of the tools (the magnifier) didn't really work as advertised; worse, it worked about 10 percent of the time, and the rest of the time only made a rude farty noise while the patient's vitals dropped and I cussed out the cute little doe-eyed anime nurse scowling at me. Probably I'm using it wrong and there's something in GameFAQs about it, but it's really too bad that all the hardcore slicey-sewey tools were easy to figure out but a stupid magnifying glass tripped me up because they had to get cute with the interface.
