I was an uber fan of Broken Sword by the end of the PS1 gen, so BR3 probably marks the most excited I've ever been for a video game release.

Though hardly in the same league as the first two games, I can forgive Broken Sword 3 for many of its gaming sins because, when it comes down to it, it managed to capture the vibe and spirit of the first two games despite playing and looking completely different. It made me laugh and it made me feel like I was on a grand adventure. Couldn't really ask for more than that. I'll endure any number of monotonous block puzzles in order to get them choice George Stobbart quips.
