Adventure games haven't changed much over the years, and many of the recent entries in the genre are heavily reliant upon item use and illogical leaps of faith rather than true thought. Dracula: Origin in its preview state doesn't differ too radically from the adventure game norm, but it is set up to require more analytical thought rather than a string of "Use item A on doorknob B" puzzles.
Hardcore Gamer: The games offered up in the pay what you want tier include Department 42: The Mystery of the Nine, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Journey: The Heart of Gaia, Dracula: Origin, and Dracula: Love Kills.
PC Games published an overview of quest mods for Dragon Age: Origins. The list includes four already released download modifications and one mod which is currently in development (a project called "Icewind Dale").
Bioware released 12 new screenshots, showcasing combat in various forms.
