    ent's Curse: Episode 1 continues on in this tradition, I say bring on the anachronisms. If they're all as well made as The Serpent's Curse is, then that's a throwback I'm happy to see.

I won't try and say it's perfect or something like that, but it saddens me to see it berated.

Some say it looks dated, I say it looks nostalgic. It reminded me of the second game, and I really enjoyed that. I thought it was good value for my money.

The game lasted about 10 hours approximately. Paid £15 ($24.99) - overpriced and disappointing game.… Full Review »
