User Rating: 9.5 | Circle of Blood PC

I'm keeping this very brief. I'm only writing about this game because I feel it's under appreciated despite it's very high score.

This a game for you if you're interested in The Davinci Code, the Knights Templars, Europe or are a new "casual" gamer sucked into gaming by the DS or Wii. The puzzles are clever, the art is beautiful, but the main reason that you will come back is for the story.

It's probably very cheap to get, and even 11 years after it's release it's still fun to play. The graphics are all painted I believe so they don't really look bad, just the animations seem dated.
