What do you get when you put my busy schedule together with GameShark’s technological sophistication? Timeliness, my friends. Like this review of Patrician IV (NA release date: September 21).

GameShark assigned the game to me while I was digging myself out of a massive hole, and it went to the back of the line. Truth be told, it wasn’t something I was particularly excited to play, and so I installed it feeling nothing beyond professional obligation and unprofessional annoyance.

Naturally, it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.
