About time, really. It's an article about Greg Costikyan looking for crazy indie games. The Lugaru mention goes as follows.
LUGARU
Costikyan's take: "Its entirely original kung fu system allows believable combat without all the clichéd combo moves."
Gameplay: The keyboard-and-mouse precision of first-person shooters mixed with martial arts and cute lagomorphic characters
Target audience: Jaded fighting game fans, Furries
Price: $20 and no messy cages

What the heck is lagomorphic? I only heard of "Anthromorphic" "Humaniod" "Animal-men" and "LOLZ URS ARS R488172!!!!111!one"
But it is good Lugaru is getting some more reckognision, I've been trying telling people about it at school but most either ignore me, or just try it because they're my friends.

Lagomorphic essentially means shaped like a rabbit. Lago and morphic.

Could someone post a scan?

I would if I had a scanner. All that I left out is a small screencap of Lugaru they included. It wasn't really a Lugaru-centric article, regrettably.

Anthropomorphic rabbits would still be a better way to describe it, as lagomorphic makes you think of little rabbits hopping around, and not humanoid ones. "Rabbit Form" Not "Humanoid Rabbit Form"

The article was about a site publicizing kickass indie games called Manifesto games.
Here's the direct link to the
Lugaru specific page.
Sweet, Gish, my third favorite game ever is on there as well!

Is this in the January issue or the December issue? I tried to get a copy, but I could not find the article. :<
