Ben Jordan Case 7 – The Cardinal Sins

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Okay I have some good news and some bad news about this Ben Jordan game from Grundislav Games.  The good news is that this is not the last Ben Jordan game.  The bad news is that this game is the last one that has been completed which means we have to wait for the actual last game concerning Ben’s eighth and final case, which will also be bad news for Ben Jordan fans because we love these games so much.  So without further ado… “It’s Christmas Eve in Rome. What should be joyful becomes a tragedy as a priest is murdered in cold blood. Ben receives a call from the man accused of the crime, begging him to go to Rome and clear his name. Seeing this as a chance to prove his career choice to his disapproving family, Ben calls up his friends and starts another investigation.  Some lives will be lost…”BenJordan7SS01If you want to see the breakdown read on…

Ben Jordan Case 6 – Scourge of the Sea People

Two words.  John Hammond.  How they managed to rope in Professor Hammond from Jurassic Park into this adventure is beyond me.  They must have “spared no expense”.  Don’t believe me, here’s the screenshot to prove it:BenJordan6SS01

Since I took up all that room for this screenshot, let me just briefly sum up my opinion of Ben Jordan’s sixth case, in a word, great.  The full review after the jump.

(ags) Ben Jordan Case 5: Land of the Rising Dead

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Aug18 Okay so by now you already know the drill.  It doesn’t appear that there’s any major changes in the rest of the Ben Jordan games.  Obviously it’s going to be a good story.  The graphics seem similar to the rest, but I haven’t played it yet.  I will get to it in a moment.  I will probably like the music.  Okay so why am I writing a review when I haven’t actually played it yet.  Well I’m late and I’m running out of things to talk about in the first paragraph of these BJ cases.  I’m going to be playing it and giving you the review as I play it.  How’s them apples.

Here’s the dust cover description (ie the blurb on the Grundislav games website): “After the events in London, Ben Jordan returns home for a much needed rest. One day, he receives a conference call from his friends Simon Booth and Alice Wilkins. Simon has heard of a series of murders in Osaka, Japan, and thinks there is some sort of paranormal activity involved. Ben, Simon, and Alice travel to Japan, but soon find there is much more to the story than they first thought…”  Sound interesting?  Good, read more next!
