Tin Salamunic: It’s a little surprising that H. R. Haggard’s 1885 novel King Solomon’s Mines and its various sequels haven’t made its way to the gaming sphere by now. With the success of Uncharted and Tomb Raider, you’d think publishers would jump at the opportunity to reintroduce Indiana Jones’ adventure-brethren. But the truth is, much like Richard Chamberlain’s cheesy performance as Allan Quatermain in the 1980’s films, this poorly constructed spinoff featuring his great-grandson James Quatermain is just as forgetful. From broken shooting mechanics and a throwaway plot to some of the worst dialogue in recent memory, Deadfall Adventures is a sloppy mess of catastrophic proportions. It’s a shame really, because underneath the thick layer of bad game design and cringe worthy writing is a game that could have been quite fun, if not even great, had it been handled by a more passionate and talented team.
Deadfall Adventures was released way back in 2013. The game has a poor reputation, but looking back it certainly didn't deserve it.
I really liked it.
I even own the collector's edition, though I got it for dirt cheap off Amazon years ago.
Really is a solid game though.

And if you fit into that category then there is only one thing to worry about this week - the latest bargains being delivered via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 16th-22nd June 2020. And once more there are a whole host of brilliant Xbox One and Xbox 360 discounts in place."
