Reviews: Issue # 4 3 • Edna and Harvey: June 2013 the Breakout • Evoland • 1953: KGB Unleashed June 2013 REVIEWS: issue # 4 3 • Edna and Harvey: june 2013 The Breakout • Evoland • 1953: KGB Unleashed JUNE 2013 This month we are serving up another issue crammed with adventure gaming goodness. Among all the adventure gaming news, and the reviews, there are two things i want to highlight and add some information to. The latest game in the classic Dracula series, Dracula 4: Shadow of the Dragon. This is the worst case of lying by i studio that i have ever seen, as an adventure game reviewer. All of the press releases, that i saw; All of game descriptions on the on store pages, even most of web, i saw a 5 star review of it; Are outright lies, both of omission and the normal variety. Microids lies to its customers, and additionally omits facts, which in this case constitutes another lie. And online stores, additionally are just parroting these lies to people who buy the game. All of these lies are tied to one fact that microids is doing its damndest to hide, and i do not even see the truth revealed on many forums or reviews. But the fact remains, Dracula 4: Shadow of the Dragon is episodic. it is Dracula 4, part 1; it only introduces the plot that it promises, and does not even hint at a few of the plot points in the official story description.i t is a three hour game, and if you want to experience the story that was promised to you when you paid $20 for cover image: it, you are in for, probably, two more purchases when they release dracula 5 and EdnA And HArvEy: 6. The length and story progression in this episode played, at most, like 1/3 of a complete game. i urge everyone who bought this to return it to the retailer you THE Breakout bought it from, i think you have a very good case to get a full refund. does any- one who bought the game and played it nOT feel ripped of and deceived? AdvEnTUrE LAnTErn i do not want to end on a sour note where the Dracula series is concern. #6 (43) june 2013 ignoring this latest debacle of a game, it has to be my alltime favourite game trilogy. in my opinion, it is a must play for all adventure enthusiasts. And for $5 dollars you can get the entire first three games on a physical disk in a dvd enclosure on Amazon. i personally reviewed all of these games last year in OwnEr/ExEcUTivE Editor the lead up to Halloween, here are some links to the reviews: Dracula Resur- Ugur Sener rection, Dracula 2: The Last Sanctuary, Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon. OTHEr Editor(s) more on the bad news front is the closure of Kheops Studios, who in fact Jonathon Wisnoski developed the last Dracula game (Dracula 3, that is). i go into great detail later in this issue about them, but i never mention my personal history with ARTICLES By that studio. i played Return to Mysterious Island first, i cannot remember Jonathon Wisnoski Syberia why or where i heard of it. But something about it reminded me of . Nick Burgener The two adventures share a common voice actor; Both Kate walker and mina are voiced by sharon mann. And i think she did a wonderful job in both instances. That might be a significant reason why i love RtMI, but it News By is not the reason i like Kheops in general. Kheops produced some of the Jonathon Wisnoski most unique, and most enjoyable games during the last 10 years. i am very relieved that i still have about half of them to playthrough.
