The Adventuress

Microïds and Encore create a partnership!

There are a lot of adventure games that are being developed in Europe that just aren’t seeing the light of day here in the United States. Why? Because Amercians are fairly stupid and don’t enjoy adventure games as much as they enjoy games like Grand Theft Auto. Not that I can really blame my fellow Americans, because killing hookers in GTA is one of the more fun things that a game could offer. But, I digress.

What this post is really about is the French adventure game development company, Microïds, and Amercian publishing company, Encore, have joined up in an unholy marriage of doom and destruction so that the US can see a few more adventure games on their store shelves. Yes, that’s right. An agreement has been made between the two companies that Encore will publish all of Microïds extensive list of games. Now, that’s a lot of games.

The first games that will see the light of day in the US are: Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, Nostradamus, Still Life 2 and Sinking Island, which will start hitting stores in the last half of 2008.

Sweet deal!
