Hi, Yes, while the games are called CHOICE of games, unfortunately often they are not truely interactive. I guess it is really difficult to really ocnsequently code through all the different branches. I too rather like zombie exodus although i think i only got to part 3. Since I am a female i always rather like playing the seem sex in a game if available. I too found it frustrating that there were few males that i could start a relationship with and that i could not make my straight preference known. Although, i guess since this is a survival situation things might be a bit different. I also like the other games by Allen Gies (author of the HUGE Tin Star which i found to be VERY interactive and entertaining) Marine Raiders really gave a Marine feel if that makes any sense and I liked Apex patrol because of the real feel of the need for STRATEGY and because of the deliciously dramatic opponent/nemesis.
