With its stellar voice cast -- Christopher Lloyd, Wallace Shawn et al -- beautiful art style and witty script, The Odd Gentlemen's remake of Sierra's King's Quest has been a critical success. Part of the game's overall appeal is the colorful and varied score by David and Ben Stanton.
BNR: This week's episode of Game News Update is quite a doozy- a Tetris movie is now in production in China, Apple has refused to allow Liyla and the Shadows of War onto their app store for political reasons, Batman: Return to Arkham has been announced and the first chapter of the new King's Quest game is now free on Steam- all this and more on this week's episode of the Blackman 'N Robin Game News Update.
Corina says: "My fascination with Sierra's King's Quest series did not begin during childhood. I have no fond memories of exploring the magical Kingdom of Daventry, no nostalgic recollections of helping King Graham on his quest to save his family, and no hilarious stories of accidental deaths and unwinnable save-states. No, my love of the series began with a Let's Play in 2009."

Free on PS4 with December PS Plus is King’s Quest: Chapter One and Gauntlet: Slayer Edition. See what the guys make of the games, after spending a short burst running through each of them."
King's quest is surprisingly enjoyable. Love the art direction and the way the story is being told. Just like cup head, I love how the art style is reminiscent of a cartoon one would watch. One game I would've truly missed if it weren't for ps+.
Downloaded both waiting for my last stupid final, and then im gonna enjoy a long gaming session.
Gauntlet is hardcore ,.. but with some people who play with their character of choice and stick to it,.. it is pretty cakewalk ,.. and really fun
