Back to the Future: Episode 4 - Double Visions (2011)
The fourth episode feels like a trip back in time with a bland storyline that treads familiar territory and fails to overcome the uninspiring gameplay.
Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (2010)
Rather than rising above its predecessors, The Book of Air is so short and uninspired it feels like a step back for the series.
Quantumnauts: Chapter 1 - Speed of Light, Space Pirates and Multiverses (2010)
Quantumnauts is an initially interesting sci-fi adventure that is ultimately let down by its lack of polish, though it may be worth a look if you’re interested in affordable adventure alternatives.
AlternativA (2010)
AlternativA initially manages to impress with its unusually dark themes and derelict world, but there are just too many shortcomings to make it a memorable game.
Jekyll & Hyde (2010)
There’s an entertaining and immersive game lurking inside Jekyll & Hyde, but it’s hidden behind a dated presentation and clumsy platform controls.
Alchemia (2009)
It looks nice on the surface, but this is one alchemical experiment that produces as much of an unsatisfying mess as an enjoyable experience.
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games - Episode One: City of the Daleks (2010)
Fans of the show are likely to get some kicks controlling the Doctor and Amy, but the gameplay is far too simple and repetitive to hold up as an enjoyable interactive experience.
Glass Rose (2004)
Glass Rose has some punishing time restrictions and frustrating game mechanics, but there is an intriguing mystery to solve here if you’re willing to follow the convoluted plot to the end.
Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage (2010)
Darkness Within 2 is an impressive technical upgrade over the original, but its eerie atmosphere is somewhat spoiled by a few key issues that drain the potential enjoyment.
The Filmmaker (2010)
The Filmmaker opens with a clever concept and offers plenty of puzzles, but is let down by some uninspired gameplay and minimal integration.
Hidden Mysteries: Titanic - Secrets of the Fateful Voyage (2009)
Hidden Mysteries: Titanic can be a pleasant enough diversion if you're interested in a very lite adventure with tons of brainteasers scattered along the way, but it badly squanders its fascinating subject matter with a lackluster story.
Art of Murder: Cards of Destiny (2010)
With much stronger dialogue and voice acting, Cards of Destiny could have been a solid murder mystery. This, sadly, is still just the art of mediocrity.
Theresia (2008)
An old-school throwback to the late ‘80s, Theresia unveils a dark, compelling backstory that might appeal to horror fans, but everyone else may simply want to throw this punishing DS adventure back.
Genesis of the Gods (2010)
Though Genesis of the Gods provides some intellectual challenges, the fact that they come more from abstract philosophy than gameplay will limit its appeal.
Chronicles of Mystery: The Tree of Life (2009)
The Tree of Life is a game that may appeal to hardcore adventure gamers, but be prepared to overlook a lot of very fundamental faults.
Dream Chronicles: The Chosen Child (2009)
It’s not the worst game of the series in its own right, but Dream Chronicles 3 is all the more disappointing for still failing to resolve the easily-avoidable problems plaguing the series three games running.
