[games_access] Microsoft patent Ingame- Helpsystem based on Community

[John Bannick]

Folks,

At our little company we've had something like this for years.
It's called the Idle Twit.
When the game has been idle for a minute, it twits you by suggesting 
your next action.
For instance, "You might want to select a question to ask the suspect.."

Not nearly as extensive as Microsoft's; but the same general notion of 
context-sensitive suggestions.
