    Sam & Max Episode 202: Moai Better Blues

    After the absolutely brilliant first Episode, expectations were high for its sequel.

    Episode 202... Episode after Episode, Telltale managed to outshine its earlier release, and Sam and Max's witty jokes arsenal seemed infinite. It wasn't. Don't get me wrong, the humor is still there... The perfect bal... Read Full Review

    Santa's possessed, and only Sam and Max can help him, with as much meaningless violence as possible, of course.

    Sam & Max Episode 201: Ice Station Santa

    Santa's possessed, and only Sam and Max can help him, with as much meaningless violence as possible, of course.

    Sam and Max have always been known for their charismatic presence, their knack for being stuck in the middle of the most insane situations ever pictured in a computer game, and, of course, their unique, twisted sense of ... Read Full Review

    Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Burning Earth

    It's the typical platform game: Simple, beautiful, pleasing to a casual gamer, and absolutely plotless.

    I'm not a die hard fan of the Avatar cartoon, despite being positively surprised with the few of its episodes I've actually seen. When I rented this game from the store, I was expecting to be introduced to this new magic... Read Full Review

    Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis

    An amazing plot, killer graphs, and the hardest puzzles ever found in a game combine to make this title simply unique.

    I've finished this game not an hour ago, and as I watched the ending credits my mind could only conjure up two feelings: Immense satisfaction, combined with a strange urge to go to bed and sleep for the next 48 hours. Th... Read Full Review

    Don't always believe the morbidly hateful...

    It's hard to believe that any Bioware game would generate the hatefest currently surrounding Dragon Age 2. My game unlocked at Steam a day after the March 8th release, and it was enough to see many reviews with 4.0, 5.0 ... Read Full Review

    The worst you can say about this game is that no sequel has been developed until this day...

    I have to say, I've never been a die-hard fan of space combat sims. My previous gaming experience in the genre can be narrowed down to 'Freelancer' and a few Star Wars games. 'Freespace 2' is the game that 'turned me'...... Read Full Review

    Destination: Treasure Island

    Despite its shallow plot and short length, the game's great graphs and well planned puzzles amount for a fun experience.

    What are the makings of a classic? When it comes to adventure games, you can perhaps narrow it down to: a great plot, nice graphics and enthrailing puzzles. And where, recently, can we find the three? Rare enough, eh? ... Read Full Review

    Sinking Island

    While the plot and visual aspects are simply great, you will most likely end up annoyed by some rather silly flaws.

    I can never grow tired of a good mistery solving adventure game. So when my cousin sent me a copy of 'Sinking Island', I installed the game the very same day. You play as Jack Norm, a police inspector assigned with the i... Read Full Review

    The Last Express

    One of the most entertaining storylines in adventure gaming is left forgotten due to some nagging problems.

    I picked up 'The Last Express' without high expectations. That was due mainly to the sheer lack of 'hype' about this game in the adventure community. It isn't on the 'classics' list, it had no follow up to its storyline.... Read Full Review

    A rich storyline, beautiful graphics and charismatic characters combine to make this game a memorable experience.

    Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror isn't one of those games that will blow your mind away. It won't lead you from plot twist to plot twist, In fact, few are the differences from its predecessor 'Broken Sword: Shadow of the... Read Full Review

    Most adventure gamers don't mind a bit of item hunting, but that's no reason to make a game out of it.

    I've been a fan of Sherlock Holmes adventure games since I first played 'The Secret of the Silver Earring', a few years ago. Then, of course, came the excellent 'SH: The Awakened', the great 'SH: Nemesis' or 'SH vs Arsén... Read Full Review

    I don't remember ever having this much 'raw fun' in playing a RTS game...

    When it comes to sci-fi games, the storyline will usually vary between epic (such as Star Wars or Dune franchises) and realistic (Mass Effect). Warhammer 40.000 takes the genre to a different setting, and introduces the ... Read Full Review

    The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery

    'Sins of the Fathers' was almost perfect. 'The Beast Within' reaches perfection.

    When producers launch a game, they are aiming for perfection. They always try to make 'their' gaming experience far better than the competition. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers did that in 1993. It was a well made, i... Read Full Review

    Frustrating bits make the new Prince of Persia a few steps short of being a timeless masterpiece.

    Few releases can split the opinion of their traditional fanbases with the ferocity this new PoP has. When word came that the new game would use stylized graphics, with its story set completely away from the 'Sands of Tim... Read Full Review

    As hollow as modern shooters can get.

    Closer to God of War than to Mass Effect, but Rise of the Argonausts is fun enough to play through.

    My expectations were high for this game, they really were, and I guess there's a bit of a lesson to be learned here: Never expect that much from a game (Spore should've been a warning, but I guess I'm stubborn). It's not... Read Full Review
