So officially there isn’t a Fatal Frame 4, but the dedicated fans team Riivolution made it happen. A commendable effort really, almost inline with the remakes of classics like Ultima V and Quest For Glory 2, thanks to the Wii’s extremely friendly hackability and import capabilities — we are not responsible for what you do with your Wii, sure you can play this easily on Homebrew with a prepatched disk image, but being law abiding citizens, as long as you … More…

Runaway: A Twist of Fate, the 3rd installment of the Runaway series by Spanish studio Pendulo, turns out to be quite a pleasant surprise. While it tells of a light-hearted story without much depth, it does bring good old traditional point-and-click adventuring back to the PC with some evolved next-generation gameplay mechanics.

A few weeks ago we received the Blackwell series to add to the pile of games we plan to review after the launch of AGG and it quickly rose to the top as one of our favorites among the AGS scene.

I intend to cover a few of AGS games here at AGG, for those who are not familiar with the term, AGS stands for Adventure Game Studio (as for AGG… ahem), and it is a tool for developers to develop point-and-click adventure games, which is my favorite genre, if you haven’t guessed already. AGS is a free development platform that has a easy-to-use editor and a run-time engine to play them, I haven’t used this but this could be useful … More…

Back in 1991 there was a gem of an adventure game called the Day of the Tentacle. Was I only 2 back then? No,  maybe I was just a tad bit older than that.  Those were the days, when I worshiped something called the Sound Blaster card and it cost almost 300 bucks and games came in Floppies and I used my modem to dial onto the BBS  just to play Text-based RPGs with my friends and a 256 color … More…
