Circle of Blood
Beautifully illustrated, hand-painted graphics combined with an entertainingly twisted plot makes this an eye-catching adventure to savor.
King's Quest VI
Prince Alexander can't get Cassima (Mordack's slavegirl he met during his imprisonment in King's Quest V) out of his mind. The Mirror sends him a vision of her, and Alexander manages to reach her land by ship. He learns that she is destined to be married to the evil Vizier Abdul Alhazred of the Green Isles by force. In the optimal game route, Alexander travels to land of the dead to free Cassima's dead parents who were killed by the Vizier. Alexander must also finally stop the wedding and free Cassima.
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (PS2)
While the game does a lot of things right, severe graphical issues surface at almost every turn and essentially nullify its strong points, leaving behind a game with lots of untapped potential.
Score: 4.8
