I also gave my vote to Other. GK1 and BS1 are both on my all-time greats list. GK2 and BS2 are still good and keepers but both series lost me on #3. GK3, in particular, was horrible. Forget the awful graphics (if you can), the story was ridiculous, in my opinion, the computer puzzle was a monster and I hated the regression in Gabriel's character. You'd have thought he'd have learned something after his experience in The Beast Within where Grace saved his butt, but no, he treated her like a moron and kept refusing to pay attention to her except on that one...er, memorable...occasion her brains had nothing to do with. And that idiotic cat fur disguise! No thanks.

I disagree that Broken Sword didn't dig that much into history. There was a good bit of info on the Knights Templar backing up that tale even if it didn't go into tedious length about it. There was enough to carry the story and not so much I wanted to skip the dialogue now and again.

So, Other.
