Now he releases his most ambitious game yet, a 30-hour ghost-hunting point-and-click adventure. We just wish he'd realize he's not good enough to do it on his own. None of the games have entirely worked, hindered by crappy puzzles and atrocious voice acting, but all have been bristling with ideas. If only some more capable technicians and actors had been involved. The Lost Crown is a step forward in some regards: the puzzles are far more realistically involved in the game's world. The voice acting? Not so much."

You'll hate
