Some screenshots have appeared on the homepage of Cateia Games that give us a sneak peek at a new hidden object adventure, Where Angels Cry, which could be coming out for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android as soon as this March.
"Man, if I were in the middle of a zombie apocalypse I'd definitely survive. The secret is just to do...." We've all had the conversations, either amongst nerds or in our own heads of how we'd traverse the suddenly deadly world filled with zombies. You'd grab certain supplies, hit the road, avoid the cities and keep quiet. It all sounds so easy when you're not throwing obstacles in your path. ZDay Survival Simulator doesn't play so nice. Think you can survive when all of your choices sound like they could potentially go bad, and survival seems just out of reach?
Anuman Interactive's The Princess Case: The Royal Scoop, set to launch later this week, is the first game published under the company's recently-announced Microïds - Games for All casual games label. The interactive adventure follows the story of a journalist who gets more than she bargained for after she's assigned to take pictures of a pair of royal newlyweds on their honeymoon.
Telltale Games has been on a roll lately. First they make releasing games in episodes a legitimate venture. Then they went and snatched up a bunch of solid licenses perfect for point and click adventure gaming like Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and Sam & Max. Now they're moving into the crimesolver gaming space with Law & Order: Legacies, and premiering on iOS to boot!
I've got a confession: Tintin helped teach me to read. My parents, desperate to get me to away from the television, realized that I was a sucker for comic books. Unfortunately, comics in the 1980s and 90s weren't exactly quality literature; when my folks realized that the Adventures of Tintin books were better reading material than the latest issues of Bloodshot and Youngblood, they bought out the local bookstore. By the time I was ten, I'd read the entire series.
Telltale Games (Back to the Future: The Game, Jurassic Park: The Game) is tackling another beloved franchise with a series of seven episodic games based on the long-running TV crime drama Law & Order. Law & Order: Legacies will debut later this month as a universal app on iPad and iPhone, with PC/Mac versions scheduled to launch in early 2012.
Ready to have one of those "Wow, I'm old" moments? "Jurassic Park" the movie came out 18 years ago. To put that in perspective, babies who were born the year that "Jurassic Park" came out can now vote. So, even though it might seem like odd timing to bring out Jurassic Park: The Gamenow, we were still super excited when Telltale Games (ofMonkey Island and Sam & Max fame) said they were making one. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to expectations.
The Golden Age of adventure games is long past, but those of us who love them keep searching for games made in that old-school style. Ironcode Gaming's Pahelika: Revelations is one such game, which in an era dominated by social, casual and "lite adventure," is both good and bad. On one hand, it offers a deeper story and more challenging puzzles than those other genres; on the other, its high skill expectation takes it beyond the reach of many of today's new gamers.
