By Marty Mulrooney

BrokenSword25Cover

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!

INTERVIEW – In Conversation With Dominic Armato

By Marty Mulrooney

 

Dominic Armato is a name that many adventure game fans will undoubtedly be familiar with. Born in Chicago in the 1970’s, he has had an illustrious and much heralded career as a voice actor in video games.

Voice-over work started from a young age, yet his shining moment no doubt came when he successfully auditioned for the part of Guybrush Theepwood in Lucasart’s The Curse Of Monkey Island. It became his signature role, with the previously unvoiced character becoming so infused with Dom’s personality that it is almost impossible nowadays to imagine anyone else. Dominic Armato simply IS Guybrush Threepwood.

Here, Dom takes some time from his busy recording schedule (and burping his toddler!) to talk exclusively to Alternative Magazine Online in a refreshingly candid interview…
