Now, this may not be the case with your review but it justifies the questions: Why did you choose this game in particular for your first review? Are you planning to write some more reviews? If yes, of which games?
Don't take it personaly, it's just my smell at work.

I chose this game in particular because it was new and relatively unheard of. Also because I disagree with the previous review. I may or may not write more reviews, it depends if I play any new games to review. I bought Fantasy Imperium on a whim at Dragoncon, something I don't normally do. I usually play much wider known games such as D&D, Whitewolf, and Gurps. These have plenty of reviews and don't really need my input.
And I don't take it personally, I understand where you are coming from.
