Tomorrow evening, I will have the chance to try out both VX and XP. I didn't have a chance before because of an internet connection that wasn't available, but now I will have plenty of time to try them out and see if they are more suited to what I am planning. If all goes well I should have a full-fledged copy of either, depending on what I like.
So stay tuned for my rulings and (very) short reviews on both games.
