Today is another Ben Jordan adventure game! Wow, Ben Jordan seems to be getting a lot of cases under his belt now. The Skunk Ape, the lost galleon of the Salton Sea and now his third adventure, The Sorceress of Smailholm. I keep wanting to say Snail home but Smailholm it is. This time it takes place in Scotland… oooh spooky Scotland, land of Highland Flings, Caber-tossing, and the most horrifying thing of all HAGGIS! (No offense to the Scottish but I think minced sheep heart, lungs and liver with oatmeal, suet, and onions boiled in an animals stomach is pretty darn scary!) Since I am going to be revising the format a bit, I should start by saying what I think of it. So here it is.
What I think of it: It doesn’t seem much different than case 2 in graphics and design, however an interesting story coupled with a “competitor” for Ben Jordan makes up for that. Ben Jordan’s 3rd case is fairly solid. Details after the break.
It was a dark and foggy morning. The fog was so thick you had to cut it with a knife. The morning was so early, even the moon hadn’t gone to bed yet. It was so dark, a blind man could see better than I could. I stumbled into my office, and sat down to a breakfast of Johnny Walker red. I sat around, for hours and hours. I sat around so much I wore a groove into my seat. I drank so much that I fell asleep until the next morning. That was when SHE walked in. All curves, not a straight edge or corner to be seen. I had sworn off women ever since a man hired me to find out if his wife was cheating on him and I learned that his wife was my secretary and the man I was investigating was me. In fact I lit out of town the instant I figured that out. I decided I was going to be alone forever. That is until she walked in. She didn’t walk in again, I simply said it again to emphasize it. The woman turned out to be my mom, and she had baked me some cookies. Cookies so good you would have shot Betty Crocker just to taste them. She also brought me the newest Nick Bounty Mystery, 
Thought that might get your attention hehe. I’m only referring to A Fading Melody’s silhouetted heroine. She’s not really naked as such. It’s just an outline. In any case, I wouldn’t deliberately review anything that really had naked chicks in it, I mean, this is a family blog after all. Well I mean everyone in the family can read without feeling offended. In any case this game is just not like that, so stop wishing! Now I told you to stop that! Go look at some mud flaps or something. Even they are a little more “explicit” than this game is. Okay okay so let’s get on to the game.
