Adam’s Venture: Episode 2 - Solomon’s Secret (2011)
Solomon’s Secret takes strides to improve on the initial instalment with technical enhancements and varied puzzle design, but its weak storyline continues to hold it back.
Conspiracies II: Lethal Networks (2011)
Lethal Networks is a lengthy, often entertaining indie FMV adventure that is better than its predecessor in some areas, but a little too rough around the edges to fully recommend.
Goin’ Downtown (2011)
If you’re looking to cruise through a fast-paced, lightweight sci-fi adventure, you’ll enjoy feeling the wind in your hair as you’re Goin’ Downtown.
Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok (2011)
If you can get past the lackluster gameplay in this failed Utopia, Baron Wittard’s solitary exploration and haunting atmosphere are still worth a visit.
The Jim & Frank Mysteries: The Blood River Files (2010)
Jim & Frank’s first mystery is a very capable puzzle game, especially for younger gamers--and a total steal at its low price.
DARKSTAR: The Interactive Movie (2010)
The highly ambitious DARKSTAR delivers a great sci-fi story that’s unfortunately hampered by serious interface flaws, questionable design decisions, and occasional bad acting.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode Four: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada (2010)
It’s one of the better episodes of the series thanks to its unsettling atmosphere and different gameplay styles, but Shadows of the Vashta Nerada drags at times and misses the mark entirely with its plot conclusion.
Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge (2010)
While not the best of the series, Shadow at the Water’s Edge is still a solid Nancy Drew entry that takes decent advantage of its exotic location.
Royal Trouble (2010)
If you’re interested in a light romantic comedy that doesn’t delve too deeply into human relationships but provides a few casual hours of fun interaction, Royal Trouble is for you.
Axel & Pixel (2009)
It lacks the originality of Samorost and never really excels beyond its artwork, but Axel & Pixel is a pleasant reproduction of an enjoyable game style.
Clover: A Curious Tale (2009)
This kind of side-scrolling adventure is an acquired taste certainly, and the gameplay can become tedious at times, but Clover is a welcome nostalgic throwback to its retro roots.
A Tale of Two Cities (2010)
This interactive adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities is definitely Dickens and a unique way to experience a classic, though it’s not nearly as good as the book.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode Two: Blood of the Cybermen (2010)
Some of the fun is drained by lacklustre puzzles and dull exploration at times, but Blood of the Cybermen is an improvement over the first episode thanks to a surprise-filled plot and greater gameplay variation.
