Review by Nick H. The Walking Dead is a style of game that does not appeal to everyone. The pace is very methodical, the focus on characters and narrative outweigh traditional action elements that many consider important to their games. Yet the series has proven that it can compelling in…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Al Lowe; three people who pretty much gave me my sense of humour through the point and click adventure games they were involved with in the late-eighties to mid-nineties. As of late, there has been a resurgence of the genre through…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Octodad: Dadliest Catch’s premise is, at its very core, inherently stupid. Playing as an octopus is already silly enough, but stuffing him into a cheap three-piece suit and tasking him with living a normal life all while continuing to pass off as a loving father is…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. The Blackwell series started back in 2006 is a point and click paranormal murder mystery. In preparation for the final chapter of the series that has just been released I also played the first four. You could say I’m Blackwelled out. The series for the most…

The core requirements for a good adventure game are a strong narrative and interesting puzzles, and the good news is that Moebius does deliver a good adventure game indeed. Players take…
Read MoreNews by Shaan J. Big Finish Games is winding down on Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure; the reboot of the long-running cult-hit FMV adventure series that was brought back to life with a Kickstarter project nearly two years ago. Tesla Effect marks the return of Tex Murphy, a hardboiled…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. By now the formula Telltale Games uses for its The Walking Dead series is familiar territory. More interactive novel than game, the focus on the design is on narrative over action. There are brief action and timing sequences, but they are used to put exclamation points…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Lately the line between what is and isn’t a game has been a hot debate here at DDNet. As all the discussion has proven, the line isn’t clear and Nyamyam’s new title, Tengami, isn’t going to make it any clearer. Tengami is in part an adventure…
