Hello again everybody! It’s been a long time since my last post here but the excuse for not updating my blog often is that I’m on vacation. Anyway let’s get it on again! As you can see this post is about The Longest Journey. It is the latest adventure game that I have played. I finished it almost a week ago and now that I have a complete view about it, I will review it. This post, however, will

Loom

A few words about the gameLoom is the latest adventure game that I have played. I can’t say that I liked it very much, considering the fact that I have read many positive reviews about it in the past. However, I definitely can’t say that it is a bad game. Loom’s major drawbacks are its length and its riddles. What certainly surprised me is that the game is very short.

A few words about the gameBroken Sword is one of the few late adventure games that I have enjoyed. The series of the Broken Sword games consists of the following 3 parts: The Shadow of the Templars, The Smoking Mirror and The Sleeping Dragon. The first Broken Sword game that I’ve ever played was The Smoking Mirror and I think it is a really wonderful game. However, this post is about The Shadow

Police Quest: In Pursuit of the Death Angel

2006-06-05T13:45:00.000+03:00

My View on the gamePolice Quest In Pursuit of the Death Angel is the first installment in the four-episode series. It is also the only game of the series that I have seriously played (I played PQ3 and PQ4 for only a few hours). Although I didn’t manage to finish it, I made a considerable progress and I enjoyed it very much. Sierra decided to launch this new series of games named Police Quest

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

2006-05-29T02:09:00.000+03:00

Indiana Jones is one of my favorite series of movies. It consists of the following three films: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Harrison Ford stars in all three films. Probably most of you have seen at least one film of the series and I bet it was the 3rd one (The Last Crusade). This

Phantasmagoria

2006-05-21T21:01:00.000+03:00

It is awkward for me to make a post about Phantasmagoria. I had decided to comment on Space Quest 1, when suddenly a recollection of the game came to me. Phantasmagoria is one of the most underrated PC adventure games ever. I am not saying that it is the best game ever, but it can (or could) at least scare you to death.Phantasmagoria was one of the first adventure games that came out during the “

Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards

2006-05-12T00:30:00.000+03:00

My view on the gameLeisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards was the first installment in the Leisure Suit Larry Series. The game was released in 1987 by Sierra and it managed to become a commercial success. I think that this game really deserves to be praised. Larry Laffer, the main hero of the game, is a great character who will keep you laughing for hours. The game evolves around

The Secret Of Monkey Island

2006-05-01T20:07:00.000+03:00

My View On The GameThe Secret Of Monkey Island is a really special game for me. I played it 3 years ago using the Abandon Loader emulator and I was amazed. That’s the reason why I used the picture of Guybrush Threepwood (the main hero of the game) as the photo for my profile. The basic element of the game is the fact that it is packed with exciting humor that will keep you laughing for hours. The
