I only know about broken sword shadow of the templars directors cut for the wii, that's it.



Thx alot if you can give me the information. Click to expand...

Play them in order of release, but skip the fourth installment The Angel of Death, as it's total ass and a real humdrum affair (unless of course you find yourself becoming an uber fan and need to play everything the series has to offer).The first two games are traditional point & click adventure fare, and two of the very finest the genre has to offer. I'd avoid the Director's Cut editions for both and stick with the originals, playing them via Steam or, if you're strictly a console gamer, the PS1 versions (that's how I got into the series). The DC versions are akin to Spielberg and Lucas needlessly fucking around with their own movies years after they come out. First one, Shadow of the Templars, has a terrific story and longer campaign, whereas 2 is funnier and has a grander of adventure. Not to mention it's puzzles are more reasonable and logical to figure out. They're both pretty equal in terms of quality - stone-cold classics.The third game makes the uneasy transition into 3D, and the series suffered for it as a result, but it's still a really good game I think, and gets a lot unfair shit. Just be prepared for box puzzles. Lots of box puzzles. That's on Steam too, plus there's the PS2/Xbox console versions.
