IncGamers: A Sword Reforged
Speaking to IncGamers’ Peter Parrish, Charles Cecil, the man behind the Broken Sword series, discusses the point-and-click genre, the newest version of the game on the Wii and DS, and the future of the franchise.
"Released in 1996, during an era that can now be viewed as something of a ‘golden age’ for adventure gaming, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars was the first in an eventual quadruple of titles. Chronicling the travels and travails of US tourist George Stobbart, Shadow of the Templars was a welcome addition to a smattering of adventure titles that, like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992) and Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995), focused on globe-trotting exploration and the investigation of ancient mythology."
