Game: Jolly Rover

It's easy to think of Jolly Rover as yet another Monkey Island wannabe. After all, it's a pirate-themed adventure game filled with treasure hunting, voodoo, and lots of laughs. But Jolly Rover is much more than the sum of its parts, offering up a surprisingly original and engaging, not to mention gorgeous, experience that manages to appeal to both newcomers and genre veterans alike. Oh, and it features a cast made up entirely of dogs.
