“Adventure games suck”
I’ve just read an article called Bring Back the Adventure which starts off with the phrase, “Adventure games suck.” Why do so many journalists continue to write the same type of article which always start in the same manner? If it’s not an opening statement about how adventures “suck”, it’s one about how the genre …
Broken Sword – The Angel of Death
The full name of the fourth Broken Sword title has been revealed. The official site for the game has also been launched. There is a trailer on the game’s site, but it shows no content from the game and is little more than a teaser. It gives the distinct impression that the game is going …

My initial thought was to have three degrees of difficulty presented to the player as a choice when they chose to start a new …
I was wrong
It turns out that I wrongly assumed that a second adventure games site was not covering my games. I should have checked a little more deeply before making the assumption, but I missed the page on which they posted my recent press release. The situation is therefore not as dire as I thought. I apologise, …
It’s snowing like crazy
I hope it stops soon. I’m hoping to visit my mother again later.
Death of the Adventure Community
Further to my last posting, I’ve since found that the boycott extends to more than one adventure gaming site. For the moment, I’m still going to refrain from naming names, but considering that they have said they no longer intend to cover my games, I’m not quite sure why I should do so. (For those …
