The Tex Murphy game (starring Todd Bridges and Kevin Murphy) comes with The Pandora Directive if you pre-order.

The Jane Jensen game has a demo, I'll check it out when I get home.

i think i remember playing under a killing moon back when i was still a kid, i remember a sequence where you played like a three card game except the other cards contained SPIDERS! that would instantly kill you, and then there would be some cheesy video about your ghost talking about how you fucked it up

ehy here it is! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuRWRbZKUHU#t=1h48m0s)

At 50% I dunno if I'd recommend BS5.  Really depends on if the 2nd half comes through.  First half is ok but very slow and not much happens.  But if you like the series it's probably worth $12.

Sounds bad, but Gray Matter also got pretty bad reviews and it was great, so dunno.  Will see for myself.  Can't be worse than Broken Sword 5-1 can it?

/shrug, I don't take things from stories taken out of content for article shock value very seriously.

Played a half hour and seems alright so far other than that the main guy's model is all kinds of fucked up and he walks like Lurch form the Addams Family.  Kind of like the analyze mini-game stuff.

That screenshot is from the first of the game where Malachi's car breaks down in the desert and he sees this guy approach him along the road, and it brings up basically what's going through his mind as he tries to assess what this guy's deal is.

It wasn't meant to be any kind of a joke, as far as I could tell. Unless you mean within the context of the review.

There's a 28% chance that it could be you getting the shit pickle on the side of the road. In the desert.
