Leon from Plus XP writes: "While I wouldn’t consider myself a Point-and-Click junkie, I have certainly had a bit of history with the genre over the years. Some of my earliest gaming memories are of games like Hugo’s House of Horrors and Leisure Suit Larry (though I probably shouldn’t have been playing the latter at that age…) and more recently I have had the pleasure of playing The Secret of Monkey Island on Xbox Live Arcade, which was thoroughly enjoyable. And then we have the entire Ace Attorney series – which is one of the best P&C games I’ve ever played, searching for evidence to utilise in the exciting courtroom battles that the collection sections build up to. Now, developers Wizarbox have given me the opportunity to experience a new Point-and-Click title on the Nintendo DS, under the name of Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle."
GodisaGeek: "Interest in pirates may have seen something of a resurgence in the last decade or so, thanks to the efforts of Somalia, and the big budget tales of the high-seas starring nutcase heartthrob Johnny Depp. Along with Skrillex, miaow miaow and drop crotch jeans, the kids are down with anything to do with plundering bounty in a nautical setting. The same cannot be said of point and click videogames. When I was a lad, thanks to the brilliance of series like Monkey Island, the genre was riding high, right the way up to the excellent Broken Sword series which kicked off in 1996. With gamers abandoning this style of entertainment for more flashy wares, it has been left up to people like Steve Ince to keep the art form alive. You see, Mr Ince is an industry veteran, who has had a hand in some legendary point and click classics, including the sublime Beneath a Steel Sky, and the Broken Sword games themselves. In 2008, along with French developer Wizarbox, he struck out on his own and created the excellent So Blonde graphic adventure, which captured the old-school feel of the games I enjoyed as a lad, with a fun cartoon setting, which married an award winning script, lovely hand drawn visuals and a plot based around, you guessed it, pirates. It was ported, quite logically, to the Wii and DS, two consoles ideally suited to the genre, control-wise, and now Ince is back with a sequel, which has also been ported to those formats, but is available for PlayStation 3 using the PlayStation Move controller, which is the version I am taking a gander at here."
GodisaGeek: "Point and Click adventure games were once an everpresent, popular genre. New takes on things – like L.A. Noire – have come and gone, but the original remains the best, which is what we have here, in Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle.
Join us in this edition of First Look as we watch the opening scenes of the game before spending some time with a young Morgane, helping her to do chores and try and solve the most basic of puzzles. Here’s a clue: We fail!"
