I’ve been sitting on the fence about Just Cause 2 for so long now, I may need to visit a doctor to get the splinters removed from my rear end. I can’t decide if it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in a game, or if it’s the most frustrating. There is one thing however that’s certain, and it’s borderline offensive…

Doug TenNapel is a man who has accumulated many fans over the years, for many different reasons. For starters, he created cult video game character Earthworm Jim in 1994. He then went on to create the cult classic PC adventure game The Neverhood (in collaboration with Dreamworks Studios) in 1996. Nowadays, he simply creates fantastic graphic novels. I was recently lucky enough to catch up with this multitalented individual and ask him a few questions for AMO’s readers. Enjoy!

Brutal Greek warrior Kratos finally returns to our gaming consoles with the release of God of War III, the long anticipated final chapter of the phenomenal hack ‘n’ slash trilogy. AMO recently previewed the game here, and I am pleased to say that the final release is even more accomplished than that earlier build. Fans of the original games on PS2 will certainly be thrilled to see a HD iteration of this beautifully detailed world and should have no problem at all picking up the pad and getting straight back into the thick of the action.

It’s been great seeing a resurgence of the old style adventure games recently. I’m admittedly pretty terrible at them, and fairly resentful of anything that makes me think of something more complex than what to have for dinner, but as a gamer it was great to see the much loved point and click adventure genre make such a comeback last year.
I’ve got very fond memories of struggling through Discworld Noir, whilst The Feeble Files remains near the top of my satisfying completion list. And now, for the bargain price of £2.99 on iTunes (and by this I mean buy it, you loon) you get to enjoy one of the most loved adventure games ever released…
