Despite being relatively enthusiastic about Good Old Games, it has to be said that I haven’t been exactly splashing the cash on the games they’ve got on offer. The ones I really want I’ve got already, and some of the others, despite being good games, fall into the “you can buy it, but you’ll never play it” category.
Still, I was pleased to see that GOG had managed to secure the rights to Broken Sword 3. It’s one that the normally-reliable budget market over here in the UK hasn’t provided in cheapo format, except as part of a triple-pack that ignores all of us who bought the first two games.
So I’m gonna buy it and play it. And (gasp) review it.

Kind of odd that they don’t have the first Broken Sword. I have a bit of a soft spot for that one, maybe just cos i loved the opening sections in Paris.

I think they’re re-hashing the first one for Wii at the moment, not sure if this is related but it’s a possibility they don’t want their new product ‘compromised’.

Oh, and you’re right, the setting of Broken Sword is pretty cool. I enjoyed the first two games, although my memories make me think I liked them more than I actually did. The third one’s definitely got to be worth a go, though.
They’ve also put In Cold Blood on GOG, I always wanted to give that a try.
