Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon

George And Nico's adventures have been one of the major forces in adventure game history, and this is probably the third best of the four official games. Not that it's bad, far from it - it just had a fixation with its newly found third dimension. But if you like stacking or sliding boxes around in otherwise interesting locations, you'll love Broken Sword 3.

For us sane people, the box-shoving puzzles were like having a rotten tooth pulled, but with the dentist making an error and extracting a perfectly healthy one accidentally. Other than that, the story is solid, the graphics are still pleasing on the eye and Nico is still smouldering. George still does his best Bertie Wooster impression, but he's a bit more action-oriented. All in all, a good entry to a well-loved series. Can we have Broken Sword 5 soon, please?
