[Dir3d-l] New game: Grudge

[Hanford Lemoore]

I loved it. Here's some notes:

+ The small version didn't run -- shockwave loader bar stalled at 100%.
+ the big version ran fine, but I could not see the FPS counter.
+ music and overall production value was great.
+ Agreed with people on the textures being washed out, but it didn't really
bother me.
+ the ammo gauge is too big for my tastes.
+ when aiming low, the player's gun does not match up with the aiming
circle. This threw me off as I was trying to aim with the player's gun.

Overall it's really impressive. Great job.
