]]> 19 Jul 2007 02:55:15 A classic point and click adventure game. The story of Simon the sorcerer and his hilarious adventures. Very enjoyable is its fantasy and fairy tale parodies, the bizarre humour and clever riddles.

Much easier than its predecessors, just as enjoyable though, Noir, just as the title indicates is a lovely noir story, narrated by the master of entertaining fiction Terry Pratchett.

]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:41:56 One blistering night, when all seemed quiet;
A meteor came crashing and caused a big riot!
To edge closer or not? A question unanswered
as we stumbled through the forest, this way that, we
meandered.

Oh look! The circus is here! The children exclaimed!
And HULABOO-BUBBLE! of the juggling clown fame!

We entered the tent, with hopes and promises
of wonderous activities and sugar pop molasses.

13 green cotton candies, not 4 or 5.
Hung high from the ceiling, swaying here, swaying by.
But what's this? It drips! Red, sticky, warm blood.
A low humming voice whispers, and then a THUD!

]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:35:47 The second discworld adventure game, with beautiful cartoonish graphics and loads of humour. The story is more or less Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man, and you get to play Rincewind travelling in Ankh Morpork and beyond to bring back Death to work. The voice of Rincewind is by Eric Idle, and the game is much easier that its predecessor. Truly enjoyable!

]]> 18 Jul 2007 11:29:27 The first adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's world.
The story is more or less based on the book Guards! Guards! and you get to play Rincewind going around Ankh Morpork completing some mind crushing hysterically bizarre quests. Thankfully there is a great sense of humour there!

Worse, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge. But Professor Umbridge's "Ministry-approved" course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the Dark Forces threatening them, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands.

Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

]]> 29 Jun 2007 04:11:27 Sprout is a creative and original adventure puzzle game created by Jeff Nusz. From the moment you lay eyes on it you know it's something special. The unique artwork for a Flash game has a paper-cut appearance that lends a storybook atmosphere to the game. This environment perfectly suits the role you play as a young seedling trying to find its way home. Sprout has everything we love to see in a Flash game: originality, a simple design, and a beautiful presentation. (qtd. from Jayisgames.com)

]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:49:32 Created by Jurgis Jonaitis and Justinas Malijonis, Miestas is actually a follow-up to Menulis. Both games incorporate hand-drawn graphics and animation, and create a surreal world adventure to point-and-click through.

]]> 29 Jun 2007 03:22:48 Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay.

Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.

]]> 26 Jun 2007 12:02:47 Hello there, gumshoe. Fedora Spade's the name. I'm a dick. What? No, not figuratively. The lady across the street might argue otherwise, but I digress. Anyway, I'm a detective, a homicide detective to be exact. I didn't grow up wanting to be a detective, mind you. I hated the cops & robbers game... the other kids always forced me to play the bad guy and gave me a good ass-kicking whenever I was caught. Not a very pleasant childhood memory, yeah? But that's beside the point. I wanted to be an astronaut. I just thought that it'd be neat to explore space, see? But it never happened, as you can probably tell. Math and physics... I can't say that they're my favorite subjects. Plus, watching the challenger explode into a big firework is pretty traumatizing.

So why did I become a homicide detective, you ask? Well, apparently it's the only job that's available for me here. Crime's rampant here in Lawless City, and dead bodies continue to crowd the streets. They need people to combat crime, expendable people; preferably people that aren't too bright in the head. People with a diploma in sociology, or psychology, or some other I-just-want-to-graduate-quickly major. People from third-rate universities who can't seem to find a decent job. People like me. It's dangerous work, but it sure beats flipping burgers. Or is it? I don't know... it's too late for regret now.

Anyway, gumshoe, I've had my fill of bourbon tonight, and I'm in the mood to talk. Why don't you sit tight and lend me a pair of listening ears, eh?

]]> 17 Jun 2007 09:37:15 The sound of a hundred voices call to Delaware and lead him to the site of a decrepit amusement park.

The site closed four years eariler after a collapse killed more than a hundred people. As Delaware explores the area he discovers the tragic accident is only the beginning of the dark events taking place.

Use Kelly's EMF counter to track paranormal activity invisible to the naked eye.

Thoroughly explore the remains of the park to discover all of the secrets behind The Seacliff Tragedy.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 04:20:03 After uncovering the secrets of Midnight Manor, Delaware St. John and partner Kelly Bradford find themselves involved in a new mystery that proves to be darker and more sinister than the manor.

Deep in the woods of northern Maine there lies a town, a town that has never been recorded on any map. For twenty years the town has stood vacant after all occupants vanished one fateful night.

The voices have called to Delaware and as he explores the Town with No Name he comes to realize that the most important secret he's about to uncover is his own.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 04:15:24 Delaware St. John is a young man with a gift for seeing the extraordinary. His adventure, this time, leads him to the decrepit remains of an abandoned building, nicknamed Midnight Manor.

Eerie voices call to Delaware for help to right the wrongs of their past. What he finds here is a mystery that has gone unsolved for almost one hundred years.

Delaware is not alone in the rotting building. A sinister force is at work to keep him from figuring out the secret of The Curse of Midnight Manor.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 04:06:52 American McGee's Grimm is an episodic action adventure game based around fairy-tales written by the Brothers Grimm. It will be published by GameTap as a 24 part episodic series starting Q1 2008. The stories will be reinterpeted by R.J. Berg, executive producer behind American Mcgee's: Alice.

]]> 13 Jun 2007 12:21:01 The game stars a... thing...
The rest of the storyline is still a working progress...
The gameplay is purely adventure/platformer. There are no enemies in the game, which might scare away a lot of gamers, but its more about story, finding new items, planting seeds, and more.
What makes it unique is the fact that there is no enemies, the art is very cool, and its going to be a storyline with a lot of twists, turns, and comedy.

WARNING: there are 3 things that may come as a bit of a shock.
1- There is no sound... yet. If you have musical skills, please contact.
2-There is a glitch that I am not able to run into at all, but others have seen it. I suspect it may be because of computer specs, but either way if you see this, I'd appreciate if you took a screenshot and explain what you did.
3-There isn't much to do yet... This is more of a tech demo than a gameplay demo, but if you want to help give ideas, etc then please contact.

]]> 12 Jun 2007 01:10:17 The player must first summon the ghost of Beethoven before they can fully enter the online game world. This is done by performing a ritual with a strand of Beethoven's hair. The game world will be a fictionalization and poetic interpretation based on established facts already know about Beethoven. Beethoven's ghost will take the player on a dramatic journey rendered within in a poetic and theatrical game like setting, enabling the player to gain a greater insight into Beethoven's physiological workings in relation to his music. It will involve the player in a dreamlike game story that will allow the player to reveal and engage in key themes of Beethoven's life, his hopes and fears. These will be encapsulated in a series of mini-games contained within elements formed by Beethoven's own memories and visions.
