I sent them an e-mail (which they published just below the review) explaining that the banding was not due to 16-bit, but was probably due to the use of FSAA.

I was a little taken aback at the 3-out-of-5 stars thing, given the glowing text in the review. The Aquarium has never before failed to get the maximum number of stars, skulls, or whatever in any review I've ever seen before.
