Maybe it's because I'm used to dungeons and dragons games on the command line but these 'visual versions' just don't do it for me.

They feel too linear and forced. Farmville and co, while not really any less linear in terms of gameplay progression feel a lot more open-ended and the true 3d experience gives me a more engaging experience -- which is why I think they are popular.

Sure, I know Mafia Wars and similar games are in the same style of yours but I've never taken to them.

BTW you guys work in my Dad's hometown of Oakville, ON - right on!
