Stooner gave me a copy that he won out of a ninja thread. I really really really like the game! It's been a lot of fun so far!

It is kinda like a cross between Beyond Good and Evil and Sam and max (the telltale games). You have levels, goals to beat, etc. Pretty neat.

Definitely do not have this! I entered!

is anyone else having issues with Steam right now?

every time when i click on my Games tab, it seems to freeze up & then want to close the program, due to it not responding correctly...

Nope. Tried both standard and "big picture" and not encountering any problems

I can't even get it to log in!

Except there's really only like 1 level. It's an episodic game where no more episodes were made, not for the PC at least.

I thought I heard somewhere that they made a sequel that was released for Nintendo DS or something.

They released the HD Video sequences onto youtube so you can conclude the story. The company that bought them out didn't want to market the game, so it fell to the wayside.

Yay! I won my first group giveaway!

Thanks so much, Death2Videodrome! I received my copy and I'll start playing it as soon as I am done with Syberia (that is, probably after Christmas). Cheers!

Here you go folks. Open until tomorrow at 5pm PST. Good luck!

Just Cause

Well, I am failry new to click and point adventures, a genre I am starting to explore right now, so I don't know if my opinion is very valid. So far I really like the world, very unique, and the characters, especially Kate Walker, the main character, who is very charismatic. But sometimes the plot is too convoluted (not sure if that's a given in this genre) and the puzzles can be disappointing. Still, it's worth checking it out, if only for the superb artistic direction and that decadent world. I am having fun with it.

Welcome

Thanks .

I found Syberia to be rich in atmosphere and like you said, artistic direction, but did feel kind of empty and was average to subpar in other areas. I'd definitely suggest some of LucasArts adventures or Wadjet Eye games or Broken Sword if you want to venture further into the adventure genre.
