One of our favorite games of the last few years was Sierra's "Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within." (This was the case even though it hung up in roughly the last minute of game play -- for us, anyhow, it was definitely one of those games made in the playing rather than in the completion (cough).) Just found out that the new Gabriel Knight game, "Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" went gold the other day, with availability in stores planned for sometime around 11/21. Unfortunately, they (like a lot of other vendors) have apparently dropped the full-motion video interface and gone to a computer-generated-graphics-only format. Will have to see how we feel about this. Expect great story lines and writing, though.
