"Over the past few years, the announcement of the latest “classic game” to be remastered has become as predictable as an annualised entry in the Call of Duty series. But when done right remasters have a lot to offer, appealing to rusted-on fans while hopefully bringing new converts into the fold. So what happens when a facelift is applied to a 20-year old game like Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father? Is it a feeble attempt to turn back the clock, or a masterpiece of the finest calibre? Well, just like any sort of cosmetic surgery, Gabriel Knight may look beautiful on the outside but it doesn’t always mask the underlying flaws."
Keanu Reeves appearing in the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 is far from the strangest celebrity video game appearance. Game Luster's Kate Mitchell highlights gaming's most unexpected voice acting moments.
Pinkerton Road, developers of Moebius and Gabriel Knight 20th Anniversary are closing down their forums and other site related functions due to poor sales and reviews of their games.
Only a matter of time before the whole studio folds im sure.
Moe Long writes: "It probably doesn’t help that sites GOG and Steam are constantly hosting various sales. Whether it’s a seasonal Winter/Summer/Autumn/Spring sale, weekend discount, or daily deal, but here are the top five Kickstarter funded games to pick up during any sale."
I loved this game 20 years ago.
Yeah, back 20 years ago you eventually figure out that the Mime has to be used to move along. Games back then were hard, you were not spoon fed.
Heck, I remember the INFOCOM Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and how fricking hard it was just to get a bable fish to put in your ear... took me a very long time to get that one worked out.
$11 for the entire game? Yeah, I might just pick it up to see if I can work my way through it again.
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of remasteres. Much rather be playing something brand new.
Having said that I'll be keeping my eye on FFVII. Curiosity might get the better of me on that one.
