Do You Do Voodoo?

I'm now playing the second day of Gabriel Knight 1 (the game timeline is divided into days). I love the storytelling in the game, the dark shroud of voodoo and mysterious characters. Although, Tim Curry's voice acting in this game is pretty lackluster -- I'm wondering if he did it on purpose. The other characters are fantastic, though.

I should probably stop procrastinating and finish up my Christmas shopping (why yes, yes I am a procrastinator -- why do you ask?)

Hmmm, this great looking, very informative blog seems to have temporarily petered out. I have a hard time believing that NellieGamer has stopped playing games during the christmas break... or has she!?

Nope, just been a little lazy about posting. But you will notice, Monsieur McGoGo, that new posts have been added very recently!

Murder!

Pardon my mixed-gumshoe phrases, but: The Game Is Afoot! Someone has been murdered on the train. Someone had to be murdered, this is a murder mystery, after all. But which passenger on this packed train did it? Did the murderer get away? Most likely not, seeing as how the train has been stopped by an avalanche. Will you help Poirot solve the mystery, and save your job, before the snow plows and police arrive? I would continue playing, but it's so darn hot here in Cambridge. I'm looking at the snow in the screenshots with envy!

Voodoo mysteries solved

I've finally finished Gabriel Knight 1, and I have to say it was a terrific game. The story was involving, and the ending was superb -- no let down at all. For me, the main feature that marred the game was the terrible interface. I hated having to click through the various tools (move, look, open, etc...) It got to be really tiresome at times.

Happy Ghost-Hunting

God, the end of the second day in The Lost Crown was beyond hair-raising. I screamed more than a few times during Nigel's midnight search of the old museum. The use of the ghost-hunting equipment is a terrific twist to your typical adventure game inventory-based puzzles. Not only does the use of various pieces of equipment (EMF detectors, night-vision cameras, etc.) help you to solve certain clues, it also adds to the spooky atmosphere. Knowing that you're walking through a ghost-filled cemetery in the middle of the night and your only field of view is the wavering green video screen immediately before you is chill-inducing. I have to admit, the only way I've been able to play this is alongside my husband. I'm sure I'd give myself a heart attack if I tried to play this alone at night!
