Justin Celani writes: I grew up playing classic Sierra point and click games like Space Quest, Police Quest, and others. King’s Quest was another favorite of mine, so when Sierra announced they were releasing a new title in the franchise, my adventure heart swooned. I was worried if they would do the series justice, or if things would feel ultimately too different. I’m here to tell you, King Quest Chapter one surely delivers.
BNR: This week's episode of Game News Update is quite a doozy- a Tetris movie is now in production in China, Apple has refused to allow Liyla and the Shadows of War onto their app store for political reasons, Batman: Return to Arkham has been announced and the first chapter of the new King's Quest game is now free on Steam- all this and more on this week's episode of the Blackman 'N Robin Game News Update.
With its stellar voice cast -- Christopher Lloyd, Wallace Shawn et al -- beautiful art style and witty script, The Odd Gentlemen's remake of Sierra's King's Quest has been a critical success. Part of the game's overall appeal is the colorful and varied score by David and Ben Stanton.
Corina says: "My fascination with Sierra's King's Quest series did not begin during childhood. I have no fond memories of exploring the magical Kingdom of Daventry, no nostalgic recollections of helping King Graham on his quest to save his family, and no hilarious stories of accidental deaths and unwinnable save-states. No, my love of the series began with a Let's Play in 2009."
Man this series and quest for glory are the best classic sierra games. Sadly Not many gamers would know about these games.
I am very excited to check this out.
