An FMV Christmas: Season’s Greetings 2013
Since most of you have spent the year being shameless kleptomaniacs, thieving anything that isn't nailed down and generally causing disruption and mayhem wherever you go, chances are you've all ended up on Santa's naughty list. That's a lot of coal in a lot of stockings if we leave it up to the big boy in red. But since we know you only misbehaved in the name of solving puzzles, and because we know our very own toymakers, we'll do what any good adventurer does when things don't go our way: we'll improvise!
Much as we'd like to, we can't give you all games, but we are pleased to share with you our second annual Season's Greetings video from the genre's best and brightest developers. (Or as many as we could cram down the chimney, at least.) Along with these acclaimed industry veterans and promising newcomers alike, we here at Adventure Gamers would like to wish you all a very happy holidays.
Oh, what the heck... games for everyone too! Whether playing again or for the first time, don't forget about AG's own classic (in our own minds) adventure trilogy:
Christmas Quest: The Best Adventure Game Ever!
Christmas Quest 2: The Yuletide Flows In
Christmas Quest 3: Santa's Little Help Desk
Merry Christmas, everyone!
