No more! A new mod adds traditional point-and-click controls to LucasArts' adventure game swansong, making it far more palatable.
Eidos Montreal's new Thief sneaks into next week's new releases, opening the doors to also let in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, the PC HD revamp of Resident Evil 4, the Xbox editions of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and oh, even more.
Before the maps were filled in, and the globe robbed of mystery by so-called 'reason,' who knew what wonderful and terrible things lurked in the gaps? Other than the people who already lived there, of course. No, this is a job for Renowned Explorers: International Society.

Jane Jensen's new "metaphysical thriller" of an adventure game Moebius: Empire Rising will launch for PC and Mac on April 15, publisher Phoenix Online announced today. It's the first game from her crowdfunded studio Pinkerton Road, and, so Phoenix says, the first she's "completely overseen" since Gabriel Knight 3.
Though Eidos Montreal's Thief doesn't launch until next week, the launch trailer arrived today, casing the scene before emerging from the shadows.

The last we heard, it was due to launch in 2013. But oh! News! Deep Silver has announced that it'll finally launch this summer, dropping new screenshots and a cinematic trailer along with this.
For discerning Final Fantasy fans eyeing up the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster pack, Square Enix has released a new trailer highlighting what's new and different in the pair of PS3 and Vita revamps. Having never played it myself, though, watching this makes me suspect the game's one big love letter to disco.
The transforming mecha-space ships of Strike Suit Zero are coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 shinier than ever this March in a revamped Director's Cut, developer Born Ready Games announced today. It's also planning to release this on PC, where the game first blasted off.
As Kingdom Come: Deliverance continues to draw dollars galore on Kickstarter, Warhorse Studios has announced that its medieval open-world RPG will indeed be coming to next-gen consoles. The developer had previously mentioned hopes for a next-gen release as well as PC, and now it's formally confirmed for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It's also shown off a grand hour of gameplay.
As fun as Wolfenstein: The New Order looks, the id Software game we're all most keen to hear more of is Doom. The vagueness continues. Publisher Bethesda today announced that The New Order will launch on May 20, and pre-ordering will get you access to a beta for Doom. Which Doom? Doom 4? And what's the beta? Oh, don't worry your pretty little head with all that.
