ASidCast: "I started the new episodic series of King’s Quest with few expectations and just about zero experience with the previous games in the franchise. As far as my knowledge goes, I know that King’s Quest was a beloved game (The original one) and that it had been rebooted quite a few times over the years, none of which quite lived up to the first game. While I can’t talk much about the previous games in the franchise, I can say that the latest reboot of the game shows a lot of promise. And puns. Lots of puns."
BNR: This week's episode of Game News Update is quite a doozy- a Tetris movie is now in production in China, Apple has refused to allow Liyla and the Shadows of War onto their app store for political reasons, Batman: Return to Arkham has been announced and the first chapter of the new King's Quest game is now free on Steam- all this and more on this week's episode of the Blackman 'N Robin Game News Update.
With its stellar voice cast -- Christopher Lloyd, Wallace Shawn et al -- beautiful art style and witty script, The Odd Gentlemen's remake of Sierra's King's Quest has been a critical success. Part of the game's overall appeal is the colorful and varied score by David and Ben Stanton.
Corina says: "My fascination with Sierra's King's Quest series did not begin during childhood. I have no fond memories of exploring the magical Kingdom of Daventry, no nostalgic recollections of helping King Graham on his quest to save his family, and no hilarious stories of accidental deaths and unwinnable save-states. No, my love of the series began with a Let's Play in 2009."
