Blood Stone 007 is an action game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Telling an original James Bond story entirely separate from the film series, the game features the voices and likenesses of Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, and Joss Stone. Bizzare Creations had a lot to overcome when undertaking this project: they are more well known for their racing games (Project Gotham Racing series) than their action efforts (The Club), and the highly anticipated Goldeneye 007 on Nintendo Wii shared the same release date.

By Marty Mulrooney

A fan project 10 years in the making, Broken Sword 2.5 is a very special game indeed. German-based MindFactory have created a lovingly crafted tribute that is free to download and retains the charming graphics of the original 2D games. Although it was released on September 28th 2008 (a full German version with optional English subtitles), it is only now in 2010 that players can finally play with English voices. A few years ago I was lucky enough to audition and successfully record two voice parts. Read on to learn more about the game and hear my contributions!

Dead Rising 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2006 Xbox 360 exclusive Dead Rising, once again pitting players against flesh-eating hordes of zombies with whatever make-shift weapons may come to hand. The sequel requires no knowledge of the previous game and is an entirely standalone experience. Exclusivity seemingly forgotten, Dead Rising 2 was recently released on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC port soon followed, which is the version being reviewed here on AMO today. Happy Halloween 2010!

AVampyreStoryMain

A Vampyre Story is a point and click adventure developed by Autumn Moon Entertainment and released for PC in late 2008. It’s a game in the true spirit of Halloween, with vampires, monsters, ghouls, goblins, bats, creepy old ladies and terrifying French accents. With the one night of the year where witches come out to play almost upon us, it just seemed right to give the game a look…
