New reviews: Alida, Silver Earring
The Adrenaline Vault gave Alida 3 out of 5 stars:
"Given that it's the first release of a development team composed of one, Alida is quite impressive. The superior graphics, enigmatic puzzles, and haunting music are well worth the price of admission. A lot of creativity is embedded here beneath the surface. However, the absence of a story delivered in a compelling way, along with several other questionable design decisions, hinders your motivation to make it all the way through. If you like a lot of lone exploration, do not mind backtracking, and do not care about much else, then this might be your cup of tea."
Meanwhile, over at Boomtown.net and Gamers Europe, Sherlock Holmes: The Case Of The Silver Earring got scores of 6/10 and 6.5/10 respectively:
"Adventure gamers will love and hate this game for the positive and negative contained within, but if this is your first adventure, your patience may wear a little thin. Try The Longest Journey instead!"
