THE GOOD:
It's brand-spanking-new and only costs 20 bucks!

SUMMARY:
This is a good game that will satisfy those of you out there who are aching for the next Myst to be released. Kate's movements are awkward, and it is sometimes annoying that you can't go where you want to (lots of doors are locked, and the majority of the areas you're presented with are there just for scenery and you're not allowed to fully explore the world), but once you get past these things it isn't a bad game. The puzzles are fairly simplistic, the game has a nasty habit of telling you what you can and cannot do, but it is an entertaining play. Definitely well worth the more than affordable price tag. If you like Myst-type games, you'll probably love this one.

THE GOOD:
The story, the settings, the characters, it's all good.

THE BAD:
Sometimes Kates movements are challenging, other than that nothing else comes to mind.

SUMMARY:
Well, if games like Halo and MOH are to action movies, then Syberia is novel. Curl up, start a fire and relax, while you play this charming, puzzle based adventure game.

The characters are also a treat, each with some eccentric quality that leaves Kate wondering how strange the towns really are. There is also an atmosphere that these quaint little villas have, adding to the overall mystery of the game. Now although it's no shooter, for me it was a welcomed change. If you like reading novels, mysteries and games like Shenmue, then Syberia is a perfect hitch, and for...
