VGR The Curse of Monkey Island


And finally after all this time, I decided to go back to some of my older interrupted review series!

Time for some adventure, bucaneers!
Time to spill some blood and drink some grog!
Time for swashbuckling action!
Time to explore MONKEY ISLAND 3! 

Don't miss out my previous Monkey Island-related reviews!

Adventure Gaming

Here's the post in which I talk A LOT about the adventure genre.

Sure, adventure games seem to be coming back lately, with the LucasArts remakes and Telltale Games Studio's success...
But they've never really been away. It's indie studios like Autumn Moon (ex-LucasArts' Bill Tiller), Revolution Software (Broken Sword series) & Péndulo Studios (Runaway series) that kept the flame alive during the whole 2000s while nobody wanted to make these games anymore.

Adventure games. Be it Point-and-clicks or not.
The genre is often misattributed to games like Tomb Raider or Uncharted, for exemple.
I prefer to call those action games, platformers or even action-adventure.

No, those ain't real adventure games.

 
You fight like a guy who's trying to explain me how adventure games were and how they ended up today!

The adventure genre grew up side by side with what we call now RPGs.

While the consoles had games like Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy and many more 8-bit RPGs, home computers developed a parallel genre, less action-based since the controllers were keyboards (and later, mouses) and much more story driven.

Gamin' NEWS! A Vampyre Adventure Series

Fans of the adventure game A Vampyre Story will have a lot more to look for than just the upcoming A Vampyre Story 2 A Bat's Tale.



From Bill Tiller's site and Facebook, he confirmed AVS2 will still come out next year but another game will also be released.

Gamin' NEWS! A Vampyre Story 2

Games are like movies or comics.
There's not just AAA blockbuster titles. There's also smaller dev. teams and game less mainstream out there.

(that doesn't mean they're less "good", they just kinda come under the radar when released)

Since I love and want to support such games, here's some news about A Vampyre Story 2!
