Day Two? final day’s presentation! Now that most of the other poseurs have had their chance, it’s time for the only hardware presentation that REALLY matters: the Aggie Awards from Adventure Gamers!  Sure, there may be better-dressed celebrities at those other events, but they also have longer speeches and commercials. Most importantly, you’re actually to […]

It’s time, ladies and gentlemen, for the moment you’ve been waiting for all year… the nominee finalists of the 1995 Aggie Awards! … Wait, what? Oh, sorry. We were confused momentarily by the list of games up for awards this year: a 2D Broken Sword adventure, the return of Tex Murphy, a new game from […]

It’s only rarely that we report any news about ourselves, but today is one of those rare cases! We’re excited to announce that we’re preparing to launch a new digital shop dedicated exclusively to adventure games. The Adventure Gamers Store will be home to titles from both larger publishers and smaller indie developers, with a […]

This month, you can try to escape a murder scene before the police arrive or avoid death on a remote crashed spaceship. You might also take on the role of a famous detective in a genteel murder mystery, meet a bunch of fictional favourites in a club sitting between worlds, or simply seek to rediscover […]

While story, exploration, and puzzles are (and will always be) the central pillars of adventure games, more and more narrative-driven games – if they can even be called “games” at all – are opting to forsake traditional adventuring in favour of more straightforward, streamlined interactive fiction. Led by the likes of Telltale Games, this growing […]

This month you can play as a cat-humanoid or a man with the head of a pig. You can hunt a demon in a fantasy world, fend off the horror that rises at night in an ordinary apartment, or face the monsters that lurk in the deepest reaches of sleep. Alternatively, you might experience a […]
