GAMER Review: Overclocked 7/10

While far from the popularity of its heyday, the point and click genre is still very much alive for those who know where to look. Or perhaps, more accurately, for those with PCs. The welcome return of Sam & Max with their bite-size episodic adventures might have something to do with granting the ailing genre a new lease on life, although at the same time, there are those out there looking to do something a little different than the usual blend of witty one-liners and obscure inventory puzzles.

Enter Overclocked, a game you probably haven't heard of from a developer about whom you likely know equally as little. The best way to describe it is probably as a point and click version of the excellent Fahrenheit, which in itself owed more than a little to the classic adventure genre. From the sombre mood to the focus on characters and interaction, this is a far cry from the Monkey Islands and Broken Swords of this world and the puzzles reflect this... 8/10
