Advantages: Characters, story, puzzles, gameplay, comedy, interesting

Disadvantages: None

Broken Sword, Shadow of the Templars cam free with my first ever playstation in a group of games, it also so happens to my my favourite game of all time, possibly my favourite.

I played this game first when I was aged about 8/9, 12 years later I still play this game at least once a year along with it's sequels, the story is fantastic, the comedy in it is subtle and incredibly clever as well as darn right hilarious, the characters are common, funny and interesting and George Stobbart is probably the best lead character of any game ever created.

A clever puzzle point and click game similar to monkey island (although I never liked monkey island), you are George Stobbart in the city of Paris as an American tourist, when suddenly a clown comes running into the cafe you're in and steals a briefcase leaving a bomb in the, george is lucky to survive the explosion as he sits outside sipping his coffee.

This explosion brings with it a huge story and George is determined to get to the end of it with his new 'friend', journalist Nico Collard from a Parisian newspaper. The story revolves around a group called the templars as you visit numerous landmarks, countries and people in order to discover the secret of the Templars.

In fact, I love this game so much, that I now need to play this game...which is what i'm not going to do...

Summary: Broken Sword best game ever
