Has anyone ever played GKIII? It was one of my favorite adventure games, aside the very funny Grim Fandango with Manny Calavera

 

 

It's been a long time coming; three and some years waiting for the sequel of one of the most in-depth, story-rich adventures around. Those days in '96 were happy ones for us adventure gamers. Chanting our spells (candle on rug, rug on candle), blissful in the knowledge that adventure gaming is here to stay, firmly set in its position as one of the leading genres. Little did we know that faith was about to turn on us, and that before long we would have to glorify the fact that a quality looking 'classic' adventure was even out on the shelves. There's less than a month left 'til the year 2000, and finally it there it was - the third coming of the man, the legendary Shadow Hunter... (drum roll)

 

The name is Knight, Gabriel Knight...

 

From these few words, the more perceptive of our readers can safely deduce that the author of this text is a Gabriel Knight fan. To be more precise, I could say I'm a huge fan of the creative mind behind the projects, a very talented lady by the name of Jane Jensen. Every serious adventurer has to appreciate a great story, especially in a world of high speed, big budget entertainment, and Jane delivers just that. In my mind, her stories are absolutely the most thought over and well researched concepts that can be found in the world of PC gaming today. It's ok then to get excited about getting your hands on Gabriel Knight III, but being a big fan of the series, it's all the more reason to be a bit tougher, and critically sharper as well.
