Bone: Out from Boneville

As computer games become more complex and start requiring higher budgets, it seems that the traditional point and click adventure game has slowly become forgotten over time. What happened to classics such as Monkey Island and Sam & Max? Admittedly there are the Broken Sword games, which do a good job of pretty keeping the genre alive, and most recently Fahrenheit is a game all adventure fans should play. Other then that, it seems to be rather slim pickings for anyone after an old style adventure quest.

Bone: Out from Boneville is going to become one of those games all adventure fans should play. It features a likeable hero and crucially, some well crafted puzzles. The game is also not without humour, for example a particular puzzle where you escape from some monsters by sparking off an argument between them over how they should eat you. The voice acting is superb and really draws you into the game, as do the environments which have a colourful and chunky feel to them. Overall, anybody who has played a point and click style game will feel right at home here and I urge anybody who wants to keep this genre of game alive to buy Bone: Out from Boneville.
