Kakutani's supposed putdown contains multiple errors:

• Not everyone shares her disdain for Robbe Grillet's interest in a "new novel";

• Games are not all alike: Myst and Warcraft belong to radically different categories;

• Myst by Robbe Grillet may be impossible (he's beastly dead), but how about Tomb Raider re-thought by M.D. Coverley or Grim Fandango by Ed Falco or Civilization by John McDaid?
