For the most part, we all know what kind of games we'll like and won't like. Every now and then, a surprise comes our way. One of the best ways to receive a gaming surprise is through friends. A great friend of mine recently dropped by for lunch on his way back up to San Francisco. We've gone through a lot together, but there's one game that always reminds me of him: Culdcept. I admit that I would have totally ignored this game if he didn't put it on my radar. Thanks to him, I've gotten dozens of hours of entertainment from a game I wouldn't have tried on my own.
