Overclocked gets better than average marks in pretty much every category except load times-for some reason the cut-scenes will make your disk drive really huff and puff. The haunting main theme (especially if it's dark and you're overtired) and gloom of rainy New York adds an appropriate layer of anxiety to the experience, which is short enough to play in a single weekend day sitting if you're really on the edge of your seat. To spoil the plot would be unfair, which is decent praise in a genre where story is so important. You know the kind of mood it takes for these types of titles, and if you're in it, Overclocked is a decent ride -- even if the final destination is a little strange.

The Armchair Empire writes: "As a gamer, I'm such a suck for adventure games, particularly good ones, and though there are some technical issues surrounding the overall execution and the pacing is frustratingly slow, Overclocked actually feels satisfying at its conclusion but you'll need to be a dyed-in-the-wool fan of adventure games to reach that point.
You play as "former forensic psychiatrist for the U.S. Army" David McNamara investigating a case which involves five nut bars found wandering New York City, all of them suffering from, what else, amnesia. These are all shattered people and it's up to McNamara to delve into their psyches (via flashbacks as you play through their eyes), as bloody and twisted as they are, and piece together what brought them to their current mental state, which actually made me think of LOST."
