A couple of days ago the BBC launched a new Flash-based adventure game as a tie-in for their new television series of historical dramas, Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire. Called CDX, and dubbed an "interactive video adventure", the game is - perhaps surprisingly - set in the 21st Century, with players taking on the role of a member of the series' production team who becomes involved in what the BBC is describing as "a world of greed, betrayal and murder."

For owners of the Nintendo DS (or those still looking for an excuse to buy one), it's a good time to be an adventure fan. With three different adventures on the horizon, the popular handheld is building momentum as a viable platform for the genre.

GameTap, the broadband entertainment network which provides video games on-demand (and is currently only available to US customers), has launched their adventure week, and is adding six new-to-the-network adventure games to their portfolio.

Those hoping to explore the planet Sarkash, in Step Creative Group's upcoming adventure Inhabited Island: Earthling, before christmas are going to be disappointed.

At long last, four much-rumoured-but-never-confirmed classic Sierra compilations are now available for purchase.

Hot on the heels of the game's release, Himalaya Studios has released a trailer for its classic-styled, point-and-click adventure, Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine.

To the delight of fans in the UK (and the lament of those elsewhere), THQ has announced the imminent release of the much-anticipated fourth installment of the Broken Sword series, The Angel of Death.

North Americans will soon get their first look at Ankh, the 3D comic adventure first released throughout Europe earlier this year, as publisher Viva Media announced that the game has shipped to retailers.
