A sneak peek for the next game in the Azada series has surfaced, but in an unexpected place. Although the first two games in the series were developed by Big Fish Games Studios, the third game is apparently being developed by ERS Game Studios - who are no strangers to creating stunning hidden object games. Take a look at the screenshots that were posted on ERS Game Studios' website behind the cut.

Set your wayback machine to June 6, 2011. That was the day that we gleefully broke the news that not only was Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards getting a re-release, but that it would be coming in a matter of weeks.

Point and click adventures have proven themselves to be great fun on the App Store. Whether we're talking about ports of Telltale games like Back to the Future and Tales of Monkey Island, or indie darlings like City of Secrets and Machinarium, the touch screen has provided a perfect interface for this classic style of adventure game. Despite this, there haven't been too many adventure games that were built from the ground up for such devices. The Silent Age is looking to break from that tradition.
