Supernatural is an odd
point'n'click thing promoting some televsion show, or film, or something. Great graphics, not sure about the gameplay.
How did I miss this before?
Locus is a beautiful
point'n'click adventure, with great music, which, unusually, is presented in Quicktime rather than Flash. [

Remember
Death In Sakkara from the other week? Well the
BBC's
point'n'click reminder service dropped me a line:
A new episode of Death in Sakkara has been released!
To continue your adventure from the end of the last chapter you completed, log-in to the game, using your secret code.
If you have forgotten your secret code, please return to the adventure and request to have your secret code emailed to you.
Good luck!
So there's a new episode on-line and it's worth noting that if you sign up you'll get reminders about the forthcoming episodes too (alledgedly they're out this time next week, and the week after - but don't quote me on that).
Rune Scape (not Run Escape - which is what I thought it was when I first saw it written down) is a little bit out of the area of games I normally play, but it looks pretty good, and appears to be free (always good!). It looks in some respects like a
point'n'click adventure, but it's not a quick game, but an ongoing adventure with many quests (in fact to my eye it looks like a
mmog which is something I've never really gotten into). You have to sign up, but it is free, and doesn't involve an e-mail address, just a user name and password. Anyway I freely admit I haven't started playing yet, but I'd love to hear from people that have - is it worth getting into? [

La Bella Romanza is slightly different from your normal
point'n'click. It's a simulation game about juggling all the details of life, all the details of life if you are a ladeeeeee that is. It's kind of a
point'n'click soap opera, for want of a better explanation. I still liked it though even though I don't think I fit into the target audience. The graphics are great, the music is funky, and Elena is cute too [

Org.Org 2 is an odd
point'n'click game with an equally odd name. The most disappointing thing is it's very short, although I suspect the ending I reached, I drank the liquid and saw the light, isn't the only one. See what you make of it [

Quest In The Dark is an absolutely lovely
point'n'click game with only two small things stopping it being perfect. #1: As the 'talking' is in Japanese (I think) I can't understand it - but this doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. #2: It's just soooo cute that the game play is constantly interrupted by you having to pause and say "ahh how sweet", and people looking over your shoulder and saying how the way the little girl walks is "just too cute" [

Sancho's Island is the
point'n'read point'n'click adventure that tells the true story of Don Quijote de la Mancha. You can play without registering, but if you don't, you won't be able to
save your games. I'd also recommend having your reading glasses handy, and being a fan of bad harpsichord music would probably be useful too. Looks great though [

Your name is Leon and you're sister is ill with an incurable terminal illness... the only thing that may cure her is touching the magical sturgeon, which is lost somewhere on a remote island. Such is the unlikely story of
Leon & The Magic Sturgeon, which wins an award for most bizarre plot in a
point'n'click game [

As an antidote to
George And the Demon, i.e. if you don't like all the swearing,
Courage The Cowardly Dog does the trick. It's a very cute kids'
point'n'click adventure. Well actually you have to use the keyboard more than pointing and clicking, but it's the same sort of game. Enjoy [

Ok, first up, before I go any further, despite the childish looking graphics
George And The Demon has some fairly adult language in it. So if you are easily offended, a bit young, or your boss is looking over your shoulder - don't bother. If you do want to play,
George And The Demon involves you controling George after he's summoned up a demon and it's all gone a bit wrong (who would have thought?). George swears, the demon swears, and most people you meet swear. It's kind of a
point'n'click'n'swear game [

Before Adam and (what I assume to be) the
BBC viral marketing department do themselves an injury pleading with me to post the
Jamie Kane 'mystery', I thought I better comply, so
here it is. If you don't know what it is - it's kind of a fluffy, lovely, ARG, wrapped up and presented slickly by the
BBC. If you don't know what an ARG is - well you soon will do if you start playing. I don't think you'll be getting books in the post, or hunting for clues in libraries, but there's fun to be had none the less.
