Adventure Lantern Issue (February 2012)

The latest issue of Adventure Lantern has just be published. This issue is issue is chock full of unique games from both me and a long time contributor Gnome (of gnomeslair.com) as well as being the first issue in a while to feature a News section.

I wrote three articles including one for the Kheops adventure Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy; The absurd adventure Eye of the Kraken; And the wonderfully unique Process. Gnome reviewed the civilization sim Fate of the World.

Adventure Lantern Issue (January 2012)

This months Adventure Lantern issue has just gone live. In this issue, in addition to co-editing, I sadly provided all of the reviews. But don't worry, we do have have more authors lined up for the future.

This time around, there are quite a few interesting articles. Most notably, an adaptation of a personal favourite of mine, Murder in the Abbey; A murder mystery set in a medieval Italian abbey and based on the novel The Name of the Rose. But surly the better adventure game, What Makes You Tick: A Stitch in Time also made it into this issue; And what a fabulous, overlooked, piece of adventure gaming this title most definitely is. I also got around to including the, disappointing, casual adventure Voodoo Chronicles: The First Sign, and to show that casual games are not all bad we have the beautiful The Tiny Bang Story in there as well.

Adventure Lantern Issue (October 2011)

That right, another Adventure Lantern issue has just been released and it is a Halloween/horror themed edition. And if I may say so myself I think it is one of our better recent issues.

In this issue I contributed the last review in my Dracula series featuring a completely new review of Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, which is a very memorable game and I think in generally overlooked far too often, with a fantastic and unique plot. Secondly, I also reviewed a new game and the first by its developer Baron Wittard: The Nemesis of Ragnarok, which is just crammed full with many many challenging logic puzzles that often require you to explore all over to find the solution to them.

There are also reviews for Alter Ego and Blood Ties by our esteemed editor Ugur and a interview with one of the developers of Asylum.

Adventure Lantern Issue (September 2011)

The September issue of Adventure Lantern had just been published, and like always it is filled with adventure gaming goodness. And while the issue is small I did manage to sneak three of my own reviews into it.

In this issue I submitted my slightly improved The Immortals of Terra review, with its incredibly deep scifi universe; A brand new review on The Silver Lining: What is Decreed Must Be, which is a great start to a series I am still very interested in (but I really need to make the time to play a few more of its sequels); And the second review in my series on the Dracula trilogy. Additionally, Ugur Sener reviewed the first two Adam's Venture episodes.

Adventure Lantern Issue (August 2011)

The August issue of Adventure Lantern has just been published. Included within its fine pages is one interview with a designer of the upcoming sci-fi adventure Prominence as well as two review by me; Lost Horizon, and Dracula Resurrection; As well as reviews on Slip Space: The Burma Shave Analogy, Knights in Shinning Armour: Episode 1, and even a action game, Dead Meets Lead, by gnome.

Adventure Lantern Issue (July 2011)

The July issue of Adventure Lantern has just been released. And alongside some very interesting reviews of The Next Big Thing (my review of it), Tomb of Zojir (which I am seriously considering playing myself now), and The Marionette (which sounds fantastic); There are also two reviews from yours truly: a recent title from one of my favourite developers (The Fall Trilogy: Separation), and the truly fantastic title Digital: A Love Story. Both of these have already been published on this blog but have received some improvements prior to republishing.

You can check out this issue over at Adventure Lantern.

Adventure Lantern Issue (June 2011)

Yes that is right, the eminently wonderful adventure game magazine Adventure Lantern is back after a hiatus with a brand new issue. In this issue I have two articles, the previously published Destination: Treasure Island (but with a moderate amount of improvements in this republishing), which is a great pirate themed Kheops adventure set as a sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island; And the never before seen review The Legend of Crystal Valley, an epic high fantasy adventure.

But of course I am not the only contributor and there are also articles for the intriguing Darkstar, the classic beginnings to the Still Life series Post Mortem, a new episode in the Telltale series Dr. Who: TARDIS, and another adventure from the makers of The Legend of Crystal Valley, Hotel, a myth, magic, and mystery filled adventure.



So what are you waiting for dear readers, go and pick up a copy from the Adventure Lantern website.
