Can You Repair Broken Capillaries Under The Eye

A couple

I've never been a big fan of adventure games, I'm more that of a person with a gun killing creatures of the underworld or genetic mutants (c'mon, what comes with gender of Survival Horror.) But while I wait for Silent Hill 6 which is supposed to be back as the first of the series (and best of all) and the first foray by Guillermo del Toro in the world of video games with his game "Insane", I made my foray into adventure games these days with two games I've loved:

The first is, com or could not be otherwise, Back to the Future: It's about time , a game that I commented at the time and I could finally play. This adventure game, as its name suggests, is based on the trilogy of "Back to the Future" and we moved to 6 months peliculera the last adventure of our time travelers. After an intro that recalls in a masterly way of mythical scenes of the film, took the role of Marty, which should prevent the council evict Doc and auction their belongings disappeared carry 6. And there we are when suddenly makes its appearance the DeLorean DMC12 (but how? Had not been destroyed at the end of the third? Tachán tachán) with an e-Doc, is struggling.
This adventure game is the company Telltale Games, creator of the ultimate adventure of Guybrush Threepwood, Tales of Monkey Island, and supported in the script by Bob Gale, screenwriter of the original trilogy. Graphically, it could be better, although their designs cartoon and simpaticotes hide very well the shortcomings of the graphics engine. I have also done something else missing in the typical motion of Hill Valley square where almost 3 films are developed, since the scenarios are a bit empty.
In terms of history, they say it is 100% Back to the Future. As u No game divided into chapters, and this being the first one, gives the impression that it is a presentation of characters, period, because although very reminiscent of the films, is a bit flojilla, only to get in position.
As in any adventure game, there decision making, which in this case remain somewhat short ... there are several options when talking to people, but only one is the one that makes you move and the rest are just to find out things, so any decision affecting the outcome of the game.
In short, an easy game, simple and improved only suitable for fans of movies like me XD, because if you are you'll have fun with all the nods to films and there are many, and if you're not, because as I read on another page: adventure games are better than this.

The second game is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth . What about this game? because it is simpl ement great. A mixture of graphic adventure game first-person shooter that puts the "Cthulhu Mythos" in one story in a masterful way.
1932, took the role of detective Jack Walters who has been assigned a case of mysterious disappearance in the coastal town of Innsmouth. Upon arrival at the ramshackle village, Jack will realize quickly that is not well RECEIVED by the locals, who act as if to hide something, well .... look something special ... and that's where our adventure begins .

For fans of Lovecraft and Cthulhu, this is a crucial game, as though something viejuno graphically is not bad and perfectly recreates the world and the monsters that Lovecraft invented in his stories. There are moments of great calm, as all research has to be done by the people of Innsmouth and real moments of pure adrenaline and tension, and all the little details taken from the novels make it even more enjoyment.
Unlike the Back to the Future, this is a game that any lover of horror, but not ever read or know anything about the world of Cthulhu and primal gods, you will enjoy, but of course, if you know the reviews and winks for the better.
Another thing to keep in mind is the team's work was devoted to subtitle the game, because although the translation not official because the game is not in Castilian, did a great job with the subtitles of the game and menus, so that seems to really translate it officially.
