AE I first was given and I loved that for its gameplay, style, humour...well, everything. The species are really cool, too.
I bought AO a fair few months ago off of Ebay. I loved the Stockyards there, too.
MANY many years ago, before AE, I borrowewd AO a bit from someone. I was very young, so i sucked at it, but I rememeber using the FMV cheat, I think...otherwise, I remember little about the experience. I think I got to the stockyards and past it...
It is most certainly more than a mere videogame. Well, videogames rule actually, they're not mere...but still, the messages are so blatant. Glukkon's would dream of having places like Tesco. But they'd only make food healthy if for the sake of keeping they're customers alive long enough to continue buying merchandise.
My parent's don't really care much for videogames. They don't dislike them, but...I know my mum has never played a videogame in her life. Ever. No, not even Space Invaders, Pong or Pacman. So asking her would be pretty useless.
