Developer Crystal Shard hopes to recapture the wonder of classic RPG adventure games with its upcoming Heroine's Quest on PC. In the world of Northland, humanity bends at the will of nature, as cold and ice have swept across the lands. Wolves and trolls stalk survivors in the night, and trade caravans disappear before ever delivering their goods. The people of Northland are terrified and untrusting, just as willing to stab each other as they are to shake hands. The world needs a heroine, and you're going to be it.
Remember when Laserdisc-based arcade games like Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair were all the rage? After dropping an obscene amount of money into the machines, you began to realize that the fully-animated titles were incredible to watch, but not much fun to play. They demanded strict memorization of game routes, and your input otherwise amounted to flicking Dirk the Daring in the right direction. If you were off by a mere second, you had a Dead Dirk on your hands. Happily, React Entertainment is engineering The Act for iOS to be an interactive cartoon that actually gets the player deeply involved.
Do you have what it takes to recover a powerful, long-lost book of magic in a world wracked by centuries of strife and war? In Askaryl's Grimoire, the new gamebook from Blue Flame Publishing, you'll have a chance to find out as you step into the boots of Edhan, a young barbarian on a mission to retrieve the stolen tome, avenge the death of your adoptive mother and change the world forever.

After the release of Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure (which we personally loved), it became quite clear that Untold Entertainment wasn't afraid to try something new. This is still the case with the company's upcoming Spellirium, which is set to combine adventure and strategy with a word game, a la Boggle or Bookworm.
Welcome to the Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass walkthrough on Gamezebo. Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass is a point and click adventure title created by Wadjet Eye. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints, and a strategy guide on how to complete the game.
Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass is the latest adventure of three professional wrestlers from England who have emigrated to the United States to ply their trade in the modern-day coliseum known as the Wrestling Zone. A setup like that sounds almost unavoidably funny, but this point-and-click adventure manages to miss the mark anyway with flat dialog, dull gameplay and a story that's neither charming nor deep enough to make up for it.
Natural Threat: Ominous Shores is an unusual title, thanks mostly to its unusual "mad scientist" theme. I know what you're thinking; we've seen mad scientists in hidden object games before. Well sure we have—but not generally intending to do humanity good, and not in a botanical setting. The unique approach employed by Ominous Shores not only works the way good sci-fi and horror fiction does, (by tapping into some of our basest fears), it also makes for some good entertainment.
