Adventure

Viva Adventure Anthology
$29.99
If you're into adventure games, you really can't do much better than this deal. This is an excellent collection of games for the price. I checked out some of these games at a store in town, and many of them were right there on the shelf, being sold separately for the same price as this collection!

This bundle is billed as having eight adventures. However, one of the games, AGON, actually includes 3 separate adventures. So you're not getting eight adventures, you're really getting TEN!!

A friend gave me a copy of Benoit Sokal's Syberia some time ago - and I that game was amazing . When I saw that this collection included two of Sokal's later games, Syberia 2 and Paradise - I had to snap it up and give them a try. And neither diappoints. Syberia 2 was even better than the first - simply a masterpiece! The game blew me away with its realism, amazing graphics, and incredible script. Paradise, though not in the class as either installment from the Syberia series, is still worthy of strong praise with it's story of an amnesiac trying to unravel the mystery of her identity in the fictitious African nation of Maurania - great acting and incredible graphics.

I'm really into lore of ancient civilizations so Riddle of the Sphinx, Omega Stone, and Riddle of the Tomb certainly grabbed my attention. Riddle of the Sphinx is a very good puzzle game, with a challenging mixture of easy and difficult puzzles. Omega Stone picks up where Riddle leaves off and is a stunning game visually, with beautiful 360-degree graphics. Riddle of the Tomb offers loads of puzzles to solve. Some are easy and some are difficult and the graphics are again excellent.

Product is billed as having eight adventures. However, one of the games, AGON, actually includes 3 separate adventures. So you're not getting eight adventures, you're really getting TEN!!

I haven't played Physicus or the Buccaneer game yet, but even if I never get around to them - I've already got more than my money's worth with this purchase. I would highly recommend to anyone

Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival
$23.95
This is a good book!

Yossi - in first person account - narrates his experience when lost for 20 days in the biggest forest of our world.

I believe that he will never forget what he went through, given the amount of suffering he experienced. The way he explains the suffering - with every minor detail, every ant bite, every pain of his body - you can understand that it wasn't luck that kept him alive but he was very clever on putting his mind to work for the big goal of his life... To Stay Alive!

There was a certain moment when reading the book, that I was only telling to myself: Yossi! Just get the hell out of there. And I wanted to go to the last pages to see him free of all that suffering.
There was only one think in the book that I didn't like, it is when he starts wandering his mind to other places like Brazil etc... he spend a lot of pages on that, and that keeps you off of what you really want to read about. This is way I did not give 5 stars.

This is my second favorite book. My first is Off the Map and my third is To Timbuktu. Jenkins is an outstanding author.
