Stop writing the reviews I was going to write almost exactly how I was going to write them before I write them.

You had your chance EmP! I remember you saying you wanted to write a TLJ review after reading mine what... two years ago?

EmP: I'm working my way down a list. Jason has a copy. You'd better not steal anything on The List. ;-)

Very well done and I really liked this line.

I've always wanted to play this. Now you make me really want to play it. Excellent review!

Anyone with an interest in a good story should play Longest Journey. No exceptions. And probably the best voice acting I've heard in an adventure game.

First one first. PC version preferiably, PSX version if you must. No other version!

In Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush breaks a sword and drops it down the sewer, remarking that it's a broken and very stinky sword.

I shall obey, EmP. PSX version it will have to be. Wonder if I can find it on PSN...

I finally played Dreamfall this week too! What an interesting game!

I may be writing about Dreamfall elsewhere. But if not, I'll run it past Jason. Short version: loved the setting, atmosphere and lightweight puzzles (except the one in the underground bit with the stupid instakill trolls), but the story was disappointingly contrived.

If that's the sum of your review, then the tables are turned! I already wrote that review and even squared up on that exact example. Ha!

Well, I beat you both to both of them, AND SAID THE SAME THING, so there!

Great review, I loved TLJ. It has plenty of flaws that I'm aware of, but in the end it was an excellent experience.
IF YOU WANT MORE BEATS FOR YOUR BUCK THERE'S NO LUCK. |

However, Dreamfall does feature what I consider to be one of the most effective scenes I've ever seen in a videogame. Mainly down to Ragnar's phenomenal writing, and some fantastic acting.

Ragnar did have excellent abilities in writing. Even if this whole scene reminded me of something out of Parasite Eve 2.
