Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror is a point-and-click adventure from Revolution Studios that was first released back in 1997 for PlayStation 2 and Windows PC but is now available as a download. Great characters, a good story, clever dialog, and superb voice-acting help make up for inconsistent puzzles, some of which are good and some are boring. The second game in the Broken Sword series, this is definitely worth a try if you like character-driven adventures.
The main characters are George, an American, and his Parisian girlfriend, Nico. You start out playing as George, but when the couple separates, you play some scenes as Nico. Nico is a reporter who gets them caught up with criminals and mysteries but then blames George for all the trouble they get into! They saved the world in The Broken Sword, but separated at the end of that story when George had to return to America.
A slew of games have been packed into bundles for Steam users, all at incredibly discounted prices.
From GameWatcher: "Revolution Software are celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a special collection of the company's full catalogue of adventure games, including the Broken Sword series, Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress and In Cold Blood. The ‘Revolution: the 25th Anniversary Collection’ will be released on the 11th March, 2016 at a price of £29.99 / €39,99 exclusively for the PC."
I think it's about time I jump into this series. Good to see they will package everything into one neat, little unit.
