     The unexpected modern renaissance of point-and-click adventure games

In the 1980s and '90s golden age of point-and-click adventure classics, we were blessed with what has since developed into decades of self-referential comedy, iconic puzzle set-ups, and satisfying inventory management. LucasArts (now Lucasfilm Games) came in strong, furnishing us with family-friendly releases like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and Day of the Tentacle; Revolution Software's Broken Sword series played with somewhat darker and sexier (yet still silly) themes, while Cyan's Myst and Riven introduced a more somber and intellectual side to the genre.

Or at least, it was middling for my own personal taste, which is quite unsavoury at the best of times. Most of my best picks made it into the calendar proper, but a couple didn't. One I hadn't even played properly until after the vote, and the other? The other is a flawed pick, but one that I couldn't stop thinking about.

Anyway, hope you all have a restful Xmas folks and a cracking new year. I hope Santa bought you some nice warm socks or a chocolate orange so dense, you could tee it off at your local golf club.

The fell moons rise, and in their cold glare emerges a parcel from the dirt. Bloat and gangrene, crimped as if by tourniquet. A dark promise wriggles within. Grip the fibrous handles, feel its jagged soul imprint upon your palm. Now pull! Rend the sinew, tear muscle from bone, hatch their fetid gift! The yoke draws near! Take up the slip and read the words upon its face.

Time to enjoy your lovely joke!

Q: What game does Geoff Keighley play now that E3 is gone forever?
