Traditional point and click adventure games are a dead genre but some publishers still try to push games with a more modern interface and storytelling aproach.

Today I bought Wallace & Gromit Grand Adventures on Xbox Live and it’s pure fun. Go try the demo or look at the trailer, it’s worth it.

P.S: And don’t forget that Bionic Commando:Rearmed is selling for 5$ on discount.

In a time where the print industry seems to be in trouble, there’s a new Video Games magazine in Portugal.

Smash! Magazine promisses to bring gamers different content from the usual reviews and preview we’ve been customed to. The mag has some good writing, check it out.

Congratulations and good luck!

I’m using my Nintendo DS again thanks to this game: Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

The game joins Professor Layton as he tries to solve crimes inside the mysterious Village! You’ll find plenty of  brain teasers, riddles, math and logic problems with a very well thought narrative and interesting characters.

A perfect portable game in my opinion.
