interesting: www.arberthstudios.com/'Rhiannon' weaves classic Celtic legends of revenge into a modern-day setting in a run-down Welsh country house and grounds. The game is aimed squarely at the first-person point-and-click market. Although it is violence-free, it is decidedly not for young children. Its intricate plot deals with numerous grown-up themes from the ancient to the contemporary. It blends magic with technology, fact with myth, horror with compassion and classicism with metaphysics. It is a feast for lovers of ghost stories, mystery, legend and puzzles.
Beginning with the present-day ghostly disturbances driving teenager Rhiannon insane, the player journeys through a hippie commune, an Edwardian tragedy and pre-Christian myths. Magic and science are interwoven, with the 'Four Elements', the physics of combustion, astrology, Kirlian photography, Email, an ancient Celtic script and lots more all playing a part. Beats tetris, I suppose  |

That might prove interesting to folk who have a passing interest, although not being a games person myself, I would probably get my son to look at it and judge it.
The graphics aren't bad, looking at the screenshots.
Cheers, Midori

How bizarre!
Not a fan of point and click meself though... I prefer good old hacking and shooting, maiming and slaying (bit like real life really...) ;D

Ooooh, I've not played that... when I split up with the exOH, he kindly gave me the old PS2, and I'm waiting for the PS3 prices to drop before I upgrade. I played the second game in the series and thought it was absolutely amazing - the sense of disorientation and chaos and very realistic weapons  |

Aye, that's why I've never gone near it! Got far too much to do in real life to lose it to gaming... though a few years back, I managed to lose 100 hours in a month playing Oblivion ;D

Try ghost recon on the xbox you fire a couple of shots and it lets the enemy know were you are then they start to surround you.
