Bah, how depressing. A good RPG gets watered down into a glorified board game. As nice as Metal Gear Acid was, it was no Metal Gear Solid. This takes a much less popular game and turns it into something it's not. It doesn't take Tea Leaves and Tarot Cards to predict that this game is heading in a bad direction.

We need games closer to the PS2 counterparts, not further away!

Actually, the boardgame wasn't inspired by Bumpy Trot. It's been out since 2000: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/2453

It's actually a pretty cool game.

The official site allows you to play the game:
http://www.blokus.com/

There's also a Palm version fo the game:
http://www.palmblvd.com/software/pc/Blokus-2003-2-2-palm-pc.html

It looks like they just used some characters and theme from that Bumpy game. (I've never heard of it before so I don't really know anything about it.) This is most definitely NOT an RPG though -- it's an abstract tile laying board game.

By the way, the name is apparently Blokus Club, not Blocks Club. Lik-Sang got it wrong, and DCEmu copied the error...
