I find that humour in video games is hard to get correct for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's overly crass, sometimes it doesn't translate well universally, and sometimes it's just plain bad.

Paradigm's humour is by and large the sole reason many people should play this, but it still won't be too everyone's cup of tea. Although, to be honest, by looking at the boxart alone, most will know what they're getting into.

As far as point and click games go, it offers a sensible balance between difficulty and unfairness, while the plot keeps moving at a reasonable pace. Puzzles are varied and I appreciated the lack of individual pixel hunting normally associated with these titles.

If you're out for something a bit different, a bit out there, or have simply exhausted all the great point and click titles out there, Paradigm is worth checking out.
