What we said about it:

Tomb Raider: Legend feels like a throwback, and I mean that in the nicest sense possible. Most of you remember leaping forward, sideways and backwards to shoot bears and thugs and such in the original game. That tried and true gameplay struck a chord with a lot of gamers and helped make Lara Croft a household name, at least for a few years. That very same gameplay is back now, only upgraded for the next generation.

Tomb Raider: Legend has plenty of action, exploration and puzzle-solving to keep you sated for a while. I wouldn't complain if they'd given us a little more, though, but this is definitely a stellar start.

What we said about it:

Will Daemonica single handedly revive the adventure game genre? It won't. Because Daemonica is set in a single town, it doesn't have enough real estate (literally and figuratively speaking) to really expand into an epic adventure. As with most adventure titles, replaying the game is more of an exercise of repetition than anything else. However, gamers looking for some passive entertainment may find Daemonica to be enjoyable. There are a few neat ideas in the game that make it a cut above the rest.

What we said about it:

Keepsake is the latest overseas import from The Adventure Company. The story is well written and competently acted, but it's also filled with family-oriented messages (nice as in warm and fuzzy). This isn't a game where you discover that the students of the academy have been butchered into little pieces, and that you need to decapitate a demon to save their souls. Instead, you learn about dealing with death, making friends, overcoming fears, and things like that. Keepsake would be a good game for families to play together, especially since the dialogue never gets too preachy.

In other words, it's easy to recommend Keepsake. It has a couple of problems here and there (like odd echoes to the dialogue), but it sports a couple dozen intriguing puzzles, it's well made, and it's well acted. It should provide you with at least 15 hours of entertainment, which is longer than most adventures these days, and so it seems well worth the price.
