Matri Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yeah, you're talking about the same EA who re-re-re-releases the same damned FIFA and Madden games every single damned year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The Whispered World English demo Play this now. The English dialogue was written by Steve Ince (Broken Sword). Great hand drawn graphics and lots of great humor. I accept thanks in foreign currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiasaur11 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 And here I was thinking there'd be suggestions for an X-Com adventure game in light of the FPS announcement. I can see it now. We're talking cruelty that makes Hitchhiker's look like Sam and Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Gray Matter preview. This game has took seven years to get made, but it's being written by the same talented lady who wrote the Gabriel Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Has anyone played any of the Sherlock Holmes'? vs Jack the Ripper, the Awakened, etc? They're all by Frogwares, aren't they, so I imagine they're all much of the same standard. What about Dracula: Origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Nope... Haven't played real adventures since... DAMN... Hero's Quest 2. That or Space Quest 3. These games lost their appeal somewhat after all becoming point'n'click games. I learned a lot of English spelling from finding the correct words in the dictionary and typing it several times.

Space Voyager Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That's a puzzle game, not an adventure. I've looked at it, and World of goo etc. but they just ignite that spark in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'd say Machinarium is an adventure game, rather than a puzzle game. WoG is a puzzler, agreed, but Machinarium does have a solid story, it's just the way it's communicated is unconventional. Just got Sherlock Holmes and the Pearl Necklace (or whatever it's called), and while the blurb is in English, the systems requirements are in French. For example:700 Mo d'espace libre sur le disque dur.What is this insanity. I'm fairly sure my PC doesn't have one of those, so I shall add the game to my pile of coasters. Damn gobbledygook.

FullAuto Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Recently picked up the Phoenix Wright games for the DS, and they are a blast. It's basically an adventure game series where you play a lawyer, and you have to defend your clients. So you go around, collecting evidence, talking to police, witnesses, etc and then defend your client in court. It's based on the Japanese legal system, so it's a bit mental, but it's you versus the prosecutor and you have to cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, find contradictions and lies, and charge your client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Shot in the dark here, but what the Haitch Eee Double-Hockey-Sticks. French developer, adventure game with alternate reality game influences. E.g. you played the game, received emails from it in your actual email inbox, looked up and infiltrated real websites, etc. Twas ace. Now, your question for fifty points and the quickly-dying gratitude of myself: What was the bloody game called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Now for the 50 points... *drum roll* :: In Memoriam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's called In Memoriam, if anyone's interested. The Professor Layton games are a series of puzzle games in a sort of adventure game skin. However, the puzzles very rarely have anything to do with the story. This allows for a much wider range of puzzles, from mathematics, to spatial awareness, word games, pattern recognition, and various others. Unfortunately, this results in a rather ridiculous and elaborate system whereby pretty much everyone has at least one puzzle to test you with, and an excuse for it too (the first game's reason for this made sense, successive games have made less sense, but that's not really the point). This has left the games open to certain forms of mockery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
