An FMV Christmas: Season’s Greetings 2014

Xmas
Xmas

What do you give the adventure gamer that already has everything that isn't nailed down?

We considered offering two front teeth for all, but decided that would be too messy and probably very unsanitary. A white Christmas is too impractical, outside of a group field trip to the North Pole. (The Arctic is still white, right? Just checking.) We could give you games, but surely all the cool kids have already played the brilliant Christmas Quest series. (Though it's never too late to make it an annual holiday tradition.) 

But if it's the thought that counts, what better gift could we offer than proof that all your favourite adventure game developers are thinking of you? And so, once again we are pleased to present a compilation of season's greetings from (most of) the genre's top names. In the spirit of Dickens, you'll find legends from the past, present, and future included – and fortunately none of them are ghosts. So sit back, enjoy, and let these personal messages charm the humbug right out of you.

Whatever the occasion you celebrate (or even if you don't), we here at Adventure Gamers would also like to extend our very best wishes to all of our readers for a happy and healthy holiday season.
