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.
Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister (2010)
Instead of chasing tornados in Trail of the Twister, Nancy spends most of her time running errands, but they do present a nice variety of challenges. Too bad most of the mystery got sucked away in the process.
Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe’s Murders in the Rue Morgue (2010)
While its lite gameplay can be a fun way to explore beautiful fin de siècle Paris for an afternoon, if you’re looking for some real detective work, you may want to pass on by Rue Morgue.
Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds (1995)
The first Freddi Fish isn’t as strong a debut as its older age counterparts, failing to fully capitalise on its underwater setting, though there’s some fun to be found by the young ones a single time through.
Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle (2010)
If you loved the first half of the Blue Toad Murder Files, you should enjoy the second half as well, though the short new episodes start to feel a little like exactly the same game with the novelty worn off.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 4 - Death from Above (2010)
If you loved the first half of the Blue Toad Murder Files, you should enjoy the second half as well, though the short new episodes start to feel a little like exactly the same game with the novelty worn off.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 5 - The Riddles of the Past (2010)
If you loved the first half of the Blue Toad Murder Files, you should enjoy the second half as well, though the short new episodes start to feel a little like exactly the same game with the novelty worn off.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 6 - Flight of the Felonious Fugitive (2010)
If you loved the first half of the Blue Toad Murder Files, you should enjoy the second half as well, though the short new episodes start to feel a little like exactly the same game with the novelty worn off.
Hamlet (2010)
It’s short, sometimes too simple, and more Samorost than Shakespeare, but Hamlet provides a nice mix of environmental obstacles for a few hours of puzzling fun.
Anka (2009)
A light children’s adventure that older gamers may also enjoy, Anka mixes traditional puzzles with minigames and other challenges to create an entertaining but limited experience.
Green Moon (2009)
As an inventory-based, puzzle-centric adventure, Green Moon can be a fun little diversion, but it doesn’t provide much narrative substance to round out the experience.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (2010)
Miles Edgeworth maintains the series’ absurd comedy and entertaining truth wrangling, but its reduced challenge and dull storylines hardly make for “perfect prosecuting”.
The Divine Comedy (2009)
Whilst an impressive artistic achievement, The Divine Comedy often feels too much ‘the book’ and not enough ‘the game’.
Treasure Island (2009)
Treasure Island isn’t as good as the source material that inspired it, but offers enough pleasant discoveries that pirate fans should find worth the journey.
