In this first of four parts of <em>The Journey Down</em>, players control a laid-back owner of a waterfront Gas 'n' Charter.

Five years in the making, this sci-fi thriller casts players in four leading roles when a series of global disasters follow soon after the destruction of a particle accelerator lab.

This heavily story-driven title casts players in the roles of Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts, two scientists who are able to enter a person's mind and alter their memories to the point that the patient can experience a whole different... http://www.adventuregamers.com/newsitem.php?id=2402 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:31:04 +0000 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdventureGamersArticles/~3/TxBJqZnvwKg/id,1454 A new-and-improved AG is coming this weekend!

Based on the popular German roleplaying series, <em>The Dark Eye</em> casts players as a young bird catcher named Geron, who was named in a prophesy as the one who would bring doom to the kingdom of Andergast.

(Or at least, undead.) Zombies are on the prowl today, as Telltale has released the debut episode of its new series, <em>The Walking Dead</em>, along with a brand new trailer.

The new game from Brawsome, the Aussie developer behind <em>Jolly Rover</em>, isn't a traditional adventure game, instead presenting a series of environmental crate-pushing puzzles with a comical story focus in between.

While my first true adventure game love was <em>Secret of Monkey Island</em>, there was another series that threatened to steal away my affections and that was <em>Police...</em> http://www.adventuregamers.com/blogitem.php?id=61 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:38:26 +0000 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdventureGamersBlogPosts/~3/KsTAbiY8Kyg/blogitem.php Movies and games have never been happy companions. Somehow the two mediums just don’t get on and experiments in cross-breeding have rarely panned out. As an afficionado of the truly awful, I own some fine examples of unsuccessful attempts. Movies made from games rarely work, with only the tiniest slivers of original game story surviving. <em>Doom</em> turned its solo horror into a multi-marine... http://www.adventuregamers.com/blogitem.php?id=60 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:19:41 +0000 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdventureGamersBlogPosts/~3/ls4q7YwAHfI/blogitem.php Almost inconceivably, Day 2 at E3 was bigger and crazier than <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.adventuregamers.com/blogitem.php?id=58">Day 1</a>. It was open for more hours, there were more people attending, I got more swag, I saw many more adventure games, and I even represented Adventure Gamers in a human interest piece for Slate Magazine.

Which is your favourite? What do you think of this new game's setup? Isn't point-and-click an antique that should be consigned to history? For me, all of these questions miss two vital aspects of player character control that are both more important than the mere mechanics. The first is that the control method should be easy to use.

On a sunny afternoon, near the end of the summer, two seemingly unrelated things happened in my house that, in hindsight, proved instead to be indivisibly connected. First, after a sleepless night, I finally finished <em>A Gabriel Knight Mystery: The Beast Within</em>. Secondly, convinced by a friend of his, my father subscribed to our first – extremely slow – internet connection.
