Ooh - I really can't wait for this one 8)

On a side note - why do some people pronounce it 'Fortza' with the
extra 't' inserted ?

No idea. I used to until I realised it was wrong. I still can't decide
on Lumines. I say Loo-means, I've heard people say Loo-mines, but Peter
Moore says Luminous, which is just weird.

I use 'Loo-Me-Ness', which is at least an approximation of 'Luminous' -
a pronunciation which, given the graphical makeup of the game, makes a
certain amount of sense.

More so than 'Loo-Means', anyway; that sounds like the sort of thing you
need Domestos to sort out.

A mistaken Italian pronounciation? I don't know anything about correct
Italian pronounciation, but I could ask the two Italians ladies who live
next door, but they're both in work right now.

Maybe it would need a hard 't' sound if it was spelt Forzza, like Pizza?

Dull-Puzzle-Game is the correct pronunciation.

pronounced in italian.

It's just easier to say i guess.

Anyway, it's good that they're holding the game until they get what
they can as good as possible.

Forgot to reply to this bit! Neither can I, which is really odd as I
thought the first one was tediously crap, so why I'm so eager to play a
game that I have no doubt will be inferior to both PGR3 and TDU,
neither of which I've finished yet, I have no idea.
