By Marty Mulrooney

Jean-Baptiste de Clerfayt Interview

Lancelot’s Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze is a point-and-click adventure game for Windows PC, described by its creator as Monkey Island meets Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The game (where you play as Lancelot, the sexiest Knight of the Round Table) was recently announced via Kickstarter, with a funding goal of €10,000. It all looks like hilarious medieval fun and apparently backers will increase their sexiness and charisma too – it’s been scientifically proven! AMO is therefore delighted to present an exclusive online interview with Lancelot’s creator, Jean-Baptiste de Clerfayt!

GAME REVIEW – Superhot (PC)

By Marty Mulrooney

Superhot

Superhot is a first-person shooter where time moves only when you move. Starting out as a 7 Day First Person Shooter (7DFPS) game jam project in 2013, a Kickstarter campaign launched the following year was successfully funded within 23 hours and went on to raise over $250,000. Superhot is the end result – a game where you can dodge bullets and take out your enemies in glorious slow motion, one step at a time.

INTERVIEW – In Conversation With Rolf Saxon (George Stobbart, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse)

Rolf Saxon Interview - Broken Sword 5

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse is a point-and-click adventure game created by British game developer Revolution Software. In 2013, the studio raised $771,560 (over $823,000 including PayPal donations) via Kickstarter to create the latest instalment in the classic Broken Sword series, which was eventually released as two episodes. Alternative Magazine Online’s review of the first episode described The Serpent’s Curse as “not only an excellent new instalment in the series, but an excellent adventure game full stop.” Broken Sword 5 was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September 2015, making the game available to a whole new audience. It seemed like the perfect time to catch up with the charming man behind the voice of the series’ much-loved protagonist George Stobbart. AMO is therefore delighted to present an exclusive online interview with American actor Rolf Saxon.
