The Hype-o-Meter
Hey, it is time for Jack's discusson of the Hype-o-Meter? Time for any reclassifications?
I really like that part. I'm kind of behind on my game player, so this helps me keep up. Not that there are screenshots from "And Then There Were None", do you think it will make the list again? |

I doubt it'll be long before it's updated. VOYAGE has shipped early, and Indigo Prophecy and MYST V are due out very soon indeed, so that's at least three places on the chart available for new and re-entries.

Broken Sword 4 should rightfully be at the top!

Rats. I was hoping no one would notice, at least until Indigo Prophecy released, so I wouldn't have to keep updating. But no rest for the lazy, it seems.
No sneak peeks now, though. (Meaning, I haven't decided. ) |

Oh goodie! A kind suggestion for your consideration, then:
1) Unless you were terribly disappointed with it upon reviewing, Fahrenheit deserves taking over the first place for these last weeks before the release, based on Forum discussion alone. 2) Please don't overhype the new Broken Sword (meaning, if it has to land on the list just now, let it be not higher than #6). "Because it's there" is really too little to get excited about, especially considering the firings and financial problems Revolution had last year. Also: remember BASS 2

Just out of curiosity, is that like the official new Hypo-o-Meter for the month, or are there more alterations still to come?

No, there's more to come, as Voyage needs to be replaced, at the very least. Don't hold your breath for a major overhaul, though.

What about Bone? There's been tons of stuff released about that during the last couple of weeks, not least from this very website.

Given the disparate views about the HoM elsewhere in the forum, is it possible to be slightly more democractic, and conduct a secret poll to all the forum members? Members are to choose from a list of upcoming adventure games, and cast 10 votes for the most-deserving HoM games. From there, the mods/admins should then decide, with the consideration of the number of votes cast for each game, how the HoM is ranked.
Geesh! Sounds a lot like the all-star ballot huh?

Hmmm, a new House of Tales game is coming out. Now, I'm in a minority on this one, but I thought Moment of Silence was a pretty sorry excuse for an adventure game. Scarcely any puzzles to be found, a semi-dead atmosphere...it should have been a movie, not a game. It was just so...pre-rendered-ish. I just hope Overclocked doesn't get more highly ranked than it deserves.
And when the hell is Dreamfall coming out, already? Quarter 3 is almost over here, Ragnar...

Tony Tough 2 might be included this time. It looks lovely.
