Broken Sword 3 - Adventure Gaming Contemporized?

Courtesy of Gamespy, we can now see new screenshots for Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon, the THQ-published sequel to the two previous acclaimed graphical adventures. As this Gamespot preview makes clear, this sequel is an attempt to take the puzzle-solving of the graphical adventure and apply it to a 3D action title. All this ties in well to Slashdot Games' earlier discussions on whether adventure games were 'dead', or just metamorphosed into a more contemporary form. In related news, the game's developer, Revolution Software, has made available for free download Lure Of The Temptress, the 1992-published graphical adventure classic which was their first ever game.

Most of the time in the old days, the puzzle was trying to get conventional memory high enough to run one of these SOBs.

To add to the article, the ScummVM Team got the source code of Beneath a Steel Sky from Revolution, so we'll soon see a version of ScummVM supporting this game to the fullest!

Kudos to Revolution for opening the source at least to the guys at ScummVM!
