Delaware St. John - The Curse of Midnight Manor Review
Attempting to make a scary adventure game is a tricky proposition: the genre tends to be devoid of action, which makes it hard to create much in the way of tension. Delaware St. John: The Curse of Midnight Manor attempts to combat this with spooky visuals and sound, but a short play time and underwhelming story keep it from being entirely successful.
Time Gentlemen, Please! Review
Time Gentlemen, Please! is a sequel to the indie comedy adventure Ben There, Dan That!, and picks up right where the previous adventure left off. Playing the previous game isn't really required as everything is summed up nicely, but that doesn't mean we don't encourage it. Ben There, Dan That! is still available free of charge and is easily one of the better adventure games available today. Veterans of the previous game will be delighted to know that Time Gentlemen, Please! improves on the previous release in every way imaginable.
The Blackwell Convergence Review
On the whole, point-and-click adventure games tend to get a bad rap for often being excruciatingly long, a little on the dry side, and gruelingly tough. The Blackwell Convergence is none of those things. Instead, it offers up a highly stylish supernatural tale filled with unusual characters and punchy plot twists. It's also just peculiar enough to keep you transfixed to the very end. Best of all, you needn't have to have played through its two predecessors to be able to jump right in and enjoy the adventure.
Ben There, Dan That! Review
What if I told you that someone had lovingly crafted a brash, funny, and original tribute to the adventure games of 20 years ago? Now what if I told you it was free? Despite being a no-holds-barred homage to classic LucasArts adventures, Ben There, Dan That! offers up a unique sense of humor and story-telling that should appeal to every grown up gamer. Despite inspiration, this is a game that stands on its own two feet.
King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown Review
Sierra's King's Quest holds a special place in the hearts of many veteran PC gamers (this writer included). The recent release on Steam of the King's Quest Collection - a package that bundles the first seven games together as a single download - allows fans to enjoy the series all over again in a new format. King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown is the game that started it all.
Diamon Jones: Eye of the Dragon Review
In this sequel to Diamon Jones and the Amulet of the World, treasure hunter Diamon Jones rather reluctantly embarks on a new adventure that takes him from Shanghai to Chicago with a few stops in between.
