Although adventure games are slightly less few and far between than they used to be, the average adventure fan is still silently waiting for the slightest sign of a title he (or she!) can point and click his way through. Most of those same fans are familiar with Broken Sword, a history/archeology adventure series that started in 1996.
I haven't played a Broken Sword game since The Shadow of the Templars on GBA ( see picture above) but it looks like I might get to try it again very soon: according to a listing on German ratings website USK, Ubisoft will be continuing the series and it will be coming to the DS and the Wii.
Revolution Software had been pushing for this via a petition on Revolution Chat, and it looks like it panned out. No word on when these may come to light, but we'll keep you posted. Despite being awesome, the THQ port of Templars was a little on the buggy side, so I'm hoping to see Ubisoft improve on the formula a bit.

Now all i need is a DS :p
Maybe i'll just stick with the PC version, cant beat a mouse afterall!
I wonder if it'll be a new title or just a remake.
the wii/ds ports are good news. hopefully they'll be able to lure in some new fans too.
this is one of the classics, don't miss it, people. it's pretty much as good as they get ;)
