The book of unwritten tales 2

I picked this up as I am a bit of an adventure fan (point and click style) and loved this. £20.99 on GOG, so if you like adventure games give it a look. Anyone else out there like me?

Certainly makes a nice change to shooting people in the face

Wanted to try these and more as I loved point and click but I just can't play em anymore which makes me sad I dunno what it is but I think my attention span is so low these days I can't play anything more than 10 mins. That and probably am spending more time on films and anime than I do at the PC desk than I used to due my new big TV and xbmc setup.

I can understand where you are coming from and an hour in, I was itching to get back to TW3 but after staying with it for a few hours, I was really enjoying it. I am also a big Anime fan but not seen anything for ages

I used to play point and clicks all the time, played all the lucasarts and sierra ones. These days i prefer them darker and grittier like Gabriel Knight rather than comedic/cartoony, unfortunately there doesnt seem to be many about like that. Finished a few recently i quite enjoyed Moebius and Cognition as well as Gabriel Knight remake.

The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Dreamfall chapters fit into that category as well and a series I really enjoy.

Is it the fact that were going older which determines our attention span to games? I can't last more than 5 minutes unless the game captivates me and draws me in but not many do that nowadays to be honest.... back in the day I used to game for hours but now I just can't be bothered anymore.

Only games I still play a lot is L4D2 and FIFA but that ****** me off so much so I barely last on there for long as well! even DiRT Rally I was sucked into but now I just cant be arsed, mind you when new content comes I'll be back on it, I should really finish Alien Isolation but it's repetitive.

As a 45 year old gamer, I can understand this. I tend to go 4/5 months and play crap loads and then 4/5 months with bitty play. Every now and then I fire up a game, 5 mins in and think "I just can't be bothered". But I have been enjoying my games a lot lately and hope it stays that way.
