We’re quite honored to have had Martin Ganteföhr, director of House of Tales’ forthcoming The Moment of Silence, sit down with us for this lengthy interview. Many have questioned why we have The Moment of Silence at the position of #4 on our Hype-O-Meter; hopefully this interview will show you why we’re so excited about […]

The field of amateur adventures seems to improve every year, and I suppose there’s no better evidence of this continuing improvement then the fact that it took hours of debate and pondering for us to settle on five nominees for each category — let alone picking a winner for some of them! While there were […]

I was more than a little underwhelmed with what was offered at E3 from The Adventure Company last year.

I was ecstatic this summer to receive an e-mail from Joe Pearce, informing me that his company Wyrmkeep Entertainment had re-released the classic adventure game Inherit the Earth. Being one of this game’s biggest fans, I had always thought it was sad how it seemed to fly under everyone’s radar. Thankfully, it’s been given a […]

The underground adventure scene is chock full of fantastic adventure games that harken back to the classic Sierra and LucasArts adventures of yesteryear. It can certainly be overwhelming, though, for someone who is new to the scene and has no idea where to start! Here are our suggestions of five of the strongest complete amateur […]
