Will it make you say wow?
Perhaps, on reflection, Sigil Games might feel that putting the word "Saga" into the name was asking for trouble. Calling a game a "Saga" of anything, aside from inviting silly jokes about old age pensioners that don't play very well beyond England's shores, also practically guarantees that your development process will indeed become a Saga - a long, drawn out and somewhat painful experience abounding with whispered half-truths and vague generalisations. Still - even given the number of misconceptions and conflicting views which exist on the topic of Vanguard, Sigil's developers can at least count themselves lucky that they avoided the "Forever" pitfall, eh?

Review | WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! Review
Never played 200 games for five seconds each? Step this way.
Wario Ware is one of the simplest games we've ever played. The wafer-thin premise is that Wario has decided to cash in on the popularity of videogames by starting up his own developer, and - for some reason - the player has to move across town playing through a series of the townfolk's five-second long minigames using the D-pad and A button for control, culminating each time in a protracted boss fight of a minigame and eventually coming head-to-head with the master designer himself.
