Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 4 – The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood (2009)
The fourth chapter is an episode you’re sure to have an opinion about—and equally sure to spend some time stumped in—but it’s ultimately no more than a good, not great, adventure game with a bang-up cliffhanger.
Adam’s Venture: Episode 1 - The Search for the Lost Garden (2009)
The very brief Adam’s Venture has a nice, shiny exterior, and actually feels adventurous in its physicality, but everything else is the very definition of “just okay”.
Another Code: R - A Journey into Lost Memories (2009)
The slow-starting Another Code: R doesn't quite live up to the legacy of its DS predecessor, but it’s a rare new adventure for the Wii, and fans of the original should find another journey worth taking.
CSI: Dark Motives (DS) (2008)
In the transition from PC to DS, CSI: Dark Motives holds up pretty well, but it’s only for those who haven’t already played the original.
Diabolik: The Original Sin (2009)
While the clumsy controls and uneven writing hamper the entertainment, Diabolik does offer an intriguing plot and unusual protagonist, and its two different modes of gameplay make for a diverting variation from standard adventure fare.
Downfall (2009)
A promising first effort from a small developer, Downfall sometimes leans towards style over substance, but it can be a creepy way to spend a few hours, as long as you aren’t squeamish.
Still Life 2 (2009)
Still Life 2 has too little polish to bear close comparison to the original, but its compelling story makes the sequel an interesting game in its own right.
Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures: Episode 2 - The Last Resort (2009)
While still an enjoyable experience, The Last Resort fails to live up to its potential, and is more of an “Average Outing” than a Grand Adventure.
Amazon: Guardians of Eden (1992)
Despite its unpolished gameplay and dated (even at the time) production values, Amazon is still an engrossing game that will please many old-school adventurers.
Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy (2008)
Despite a challenging selection of puzzles, The Haunting of Castle Malloy is one of the weaker entries in the longrunning series that will appeal mainly to dedicated Nancy Drew fans.
The Tales of Bingwood: Chapter I - To Save a Princess (2008)
If you like replaying the old classics, you'll probably enjoy a nostalgic throwback like Tales of Bingwood, but there’s room for series improvement in establishing an identity of its own.
Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches (2008)
Rhiannon is a promising debut offering from a small development team, but a strong storyline is let down by the game’s uninteresting environments and basic presentation.
Everlight: Of Magic & Power (2008)
Everlight is no classic, but it still manages to be charming and fun despite its faults, particularly if you like light-hearted fantasy games.
Murder in the Abbey (2008)
Largely enjoyable as a medieval mystery, Murder in the Abbey’s fairly weak gameplay lets down the quality of the story.
