Phantasmagoria 1 & 2, I loved both of them...

Screen shots for The Abbey look really good... There is an English version for The Abbey Website... The little flag is over on the left on the Big Book that is opened behind the candle...

I was about to ask you to explain the game to me, since it was in German, but I found that flag and it turned the website into English... The Scene of Mysterious Crimes and Only One Man can get to the bottom of them... My Kind Of Game... When does this come out??? The website doesn't say, but I figured maybe you had some inside info??? lol

It was released in Germany a couple of days ago, unfortunately I don´t know about the U.S.A.
The Publisher is only working for the german area so I don´t know if they have a publisher for the U.S.A. already, but if not they´ll surely come up with someone soon.

Good to know, next time I'm near the local game store, I'll stop in and ask about it... The storyline is right up my alley and the graphics look great... Have you played The Abbey yet???

No I didn´t and probably won´t over the next months ( If I´m not reviewing a new game in 90% the games I play, I play because i can use them for a classical review), somebody else is writing the review on it. But i think it might be a really nice game. He´ll tell me in our weekly conference, so I can give some feedback from the reviewer then.

That works... Almost as good as having it come straight from you... lol
I have some errands to run tomorrow, so I should be near my Local Game store, GameStop, and I can check with them and see when it will be Released, if there is a Release date for us that is...

Appreciate it Von, I'm gonna head to bed, seeing how it's after 4am here... I'm not quite sure how I live on 3 hours of sleep almost every day, but somehow I do... lol

Here's another game on the way; not your traditional adventure game, but not exactly any other genre. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what you're supposed to do in the game. I think you're a photographer taking photos of photorealistic animals running about the wild. Check out the video, it looks cool.

Did anyone notice that they spelled Africa with a K Afrika... Weird... I agree Racer, I couldn't get much out of the trailer either... If all it is, is photoing animals, I don't think I'd really waste my time... Though I would make the kids play it, cause I imagine it will be a learning game...

It would be neat if you start off as a Photographer and then get involved in stopping a Poachers Organization... But it doesn't look like it is going to be like that...
Looks like it is going to be a very informative "game" for kids and adults... I use the word game loosely with the limited information Sony has revealed so far... I did a Google search and didn't find much more than your Trailer showed...

I agree; if it's just taking photo's of animals, well, that's not going to make me rush out to buy a copy along with a ps3 to play it. That said, I always give thumbs up to thinking outside of the box.

And yeah, I have no idea why they would specifically spell Africa wrong...who knows, there might be a decent reason behind it.

Guess we won't know until they release more info about it... I hate it when they pull stuff like that...

Don't quote me, but I think some persons, especially from S Africe spell the name with a K. Could just be a variation, like the word color which is spelled at times colour. Then again, it's Memorial Day and I've been in the sun too long.

In german it is spelled Afrika as well.

Ahhh that would explain it I guess... Leave to us Americans to spell sh*t the way we want and not care how it's really done, right... lol

A new Jane Jensen Interview has just been released. For the first time Jane officially speaks out about the change of the Gray Matter development team and a lot of other things.
Our own site will have a Jane Jensen interview as well somewhen soon ( Don´t know exactly when, there is a delay- we should have received it quite a while back- but as I know from the publisher we will definately receive Janes answers somewhen ( English version will be available as well).
Here is the link to the current interview:
