Five Great Games I Never Finished
Hello. My name is Sebastian and I don’t finish my video games. There. It’s out.
When I was a kid, I owned an N64 and for several years I had two — TWO — games: Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart 64. These games I played over and over until I knew every square inch of their respective worlds. I was basically un-beatable in Mario Kart since I knew every single track like the back of my hand, every turn, every short-cut, every trap.

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse
Well bonjour mon petits chéris! Bienvenue à Paris!
Or rather I should say welcome back to Paris, as in Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse, the series returns to it’s Gallic roots. But this is no time for reminiscing — A rare painting has been stollen, the gallery owner murdered. It’s down to affable American insurance investigator George Stobbart and plucky French reporter Nico Collard to crack the case.
