Thanks, I appreciate you doing that. I’ve heard a lot about Dave Gilbert’s games, especially The Shivah, although I haven’t played any of them yet. I’ve been meaning to check them out — I didn’t realize he was charging for them now. Still, I’m happy to support his efforts…

Sure, you’re in my Google Reader now. As for story based games, the best examples of AGS games with fabulous character development and a good story are those by Dave Gilbert at http://wadjeteyegames.com

Unfortunately for cheapskates like me, his success has meant that he now charges for his games, but I beta test for him so I get free copies, whee!

Thanks for stopping by, glad you found it. I haven’t had the chance to try out any of the other games that did well in the Awards, but so far I’m pretty impressed with the quality. Infinity String looks well made…hard to tell why it did so well in one list but not so much in the other.

Hope you get the chance to hang around for a bit!

Hi, as the guy who runs the AGS Awards I was intrigued to come across your blog. Hope that you get time to try out those and a few more AGS games. I notice that Infinity String did much better in that top 20 list than in the AGS Awards where it only got one award (for Backgrounds).
