Pros
Cons
Too big of a download (even though I have a 5MBps connection) for such a small amount of shareware, first of all. The software you do get is beyond rediculous, and I won't use any other words to describe it. I would not use it if it was freeware.

Are you kidding me ???

0-0-0 Doesn't anyone at Download.Com. even look at these things ??? <p>It looks to be thier only standard is to be "spy-ware free"....
Cons
142.74MB for a three (3) minute trial !!! It would take longer to download on my DSL, than the total trial. That seems like it would be no more than a screen shot. <p>Writing this was longer than the "trial". What a personal waste of time & system recources.

Developer’s Description

By D2C Games

Experience next generation of comic book entertainment with digital video comics.

Adapted for the digital generation, D2Comics goes beyond traditional printed comics and delivers an interactive multi-media experience directly to your PC.

THE CRYPTICS. Some famous monsters are going to the scariest place they've ever been & the suburbs. The Cryptics follows much smaller versions of horror's most-fabled characters as they grow up in the suburbs, go to school and make monsters in the laboratory. Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and Ben Roman (I luv Halloween) bring you an interactive look into the young lives and escapades of Jackie Jekyll Junior, Drac, Wolfy and Sea-Boy with a digital video comic that heaps on the laughs. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Note: To install comic book, first extract the 'TheCryptics.zip' archive to a blank folder. Next run the 'Setup.exe' file, then follow the installation wizard.
