This game only runs on crappy computers with old drivers, so you're out of luck. It's like serious sam without the puzzles, plot, or architecture.

It installs spyware... as does everything else from sunnygames.com. Click through the 2nd EULA link if you don't believe me:

Bridge It! uses the Auran Jet graphics engine, not the Torque engine. It's pretty much Bridge Construction Set turned into an Auran/NVidia commercial by replacing Torque (used in BCS) with Auran Jet.
Gameplay is due to Chronic Logic, of course.

I'm a game developer, and I bought a pack of gum today. Already, I'm relying on it to clean my teeth of pieces of high-quality walnut and rich chocolate chips from the cookie that I ate with lunch.

Bullfrog, Origin, Looking Glass, Microprose et al all eventually had people leave to form their own game studios
Don't forget Lucasarts (Nihilistic), Lucasarts (Infinite Machine), Lucasarts (Double Fine Productions), and more recently EA (Infinity Ward)

Mr. Picky #5, #3's usage was correct. Alliteration means "repetition of same letter at beginning of word" as well as "repetition of consonant sound in stressed syllable". The latter meaning is similar to consonance, but the former meaning applies here.
Assonance refers to vowel correspondence in stressed syllables, and it usually applies to similarity near the ends of words (eg, "make your complaint"). It may not be strictly incorrect for the headline, but it is somewhat awkward.
Also, you have one comma too many or one too few in your second sentence.
(oops; it was #3 and not #4)

If you're gonna (sic) "it's", you might as well (sic) "compliments" as well. That is, unless the beginner guide tells you how great the updated manuals are.
PS. "MMORPG's" is correct -- it's accepted to put apostrophes after acronyms, because something really is missing.

Auran Jet is not developing Bridge It (and shame on them for implying that they are). Bridge It is being done by Chronic Logic (http://www.chroniclogic.com/), makers of Bridge Builder and its successors Pontifex and Pontifex 2. This time they're using the Auran Jet engine.

It's not "Kahn" |

The ST2 character was "Khan", as in Kublai or Gengis.
edited to clarify.

Tim Schafer is not the only funny guy in the world; the Sam & Max duo are still with LucasArts as far as I know
Yes; Steve Purcell is also very funny -- but he's busy working on something else.

Second of all, Tim Schafer, the mastermind of the first, is long gone. And the third major clue : they're making it for consoles.
I can only imagine how conflicted you'd be if you heard Tim Schafer was making games for consoles, so I won't tell you.
