Discworld Noir (E,S,I,)
Posted by Notcot on Feb 25, 2011 in Noir
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is, perhaps unsurprisingly given the game’s title, the setting for this point-and-click romp which combines the best elements of Bogart-esque private eye movies with the best-known fantasy environment in the world.
The game follows the trials and tribulations of the Discworld’s first PI as he takes on his first case–a missing persons job on behalf of a darkly mysterious female client who’s husband has gone walkies.
It’s pretty standard adventure fare with pointing and clicking aplenty as the case unravels, villains are revealed and outrageously long FMV sequences disturb the flow of the plot.
OK, so far it doesn’t sound that good, right? But perseverance is the name of the game and you won’t be able to help getting drawn further into the plot to the point where it is impossible to leave it alone. The major draw in this title is the obvious input from Pratchett himself. The characters really bring this game to life, mixing the new, such as Lewton the private eye and main character, with the old, Nobby Nobbs of the City Guard, Death and the Grim Squeaker–a hilarious character who is actually the Death of Rats.
Comedy abounds here, from the obvious to the incredibly subtle, and there is plenty going on to keep you playing for quite a while.
At the end of the day, this is more suited to the Discworld fan then to someone looking idly around for an adventure game to fill in a couple of hours, but with its budget price thanks to an Infogrames re-release, Discworld Noir is a good purchase. –James Gordon

Gothic Tales
Posted by Notcot on Feb 12, 2011 in Gothic
The stories in this collection combine realism and fantasy. The themes are familiar from Gaskell’s novels, but their treatment is revealingly different, ranging from ghost stories and comic fantasy, to a realistic tale of 17th-century witch trials.

The Runes of the Earth
Posted by Notcot on Nov 11, 2010 in Gadgets
In 1977 Stephen Donaldson changed the face of epic fantasy. With the publication of THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER Donaldson took the world of fantasy publishing by storm and created a true phenomenon: an epic fantasy instant bestseller that has gone on to sell millions. The ‘hero’ Thomas Covenant is mysteriously struck down with a disease believed eradicated; he is abandoned by his wife and young son and becomes a pariah. Alone and despairing Covenant falls – and is drawn into a mysterious new world where gentle people work magic and the earth itself brings healing. He is welcomed as the reincarnation of a legendary saviour but Covenant refuses to believe; he’s convinced he’s having delusions. At the end of the sixth book as Covenant battles to save the world he is killed – in both worlds – as Dr Linden Avery his horrified companion looks on. Now comes the book every fantasy reader has been waiting for. It’s ten years later and Linden Avery thought she would never see the Land or Covenant her beloved again. But Lord Foul has stolen her adopted son and is unmaking the very laws of nature.And though she believes Covenant dead he keeps sending Linden messages: ‘Find me’ and ‘Don’t trust me’. The Land is in turmoil and Lord Foul has plans for them all …
