Game of the Day - Trine

Amazon's Game Download of the Day is a $9.99 download of Trine. You can also pick up the DVD-ROM version of Trine for only $3.99 (but no free shipping); it has good reviews, except for one that had a problem with the DRM scheme (only on the DVD-ROM, not on the download version) of a copy he purchased from Best Buy. This one doesn't have a free trial version, unfortunately, so you can't try the download first before deciding which version, if any, to purchase.
