Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised the other day when Arstechnica's Opposable Thumbs Journal made their first post in a new series titled Bargain Bin Review... and ended up giving the much maligned Fracture a good review at its new bargain price of $19.99.

Fracture was a demo I quite enjoyed and while I didn't think it was worth rushing out and buying it at its original MSRP, I did think it had an intriguing idea... maybe some like minded cheap asses, like myself, will give it a second look.
