The Dame Was Loaded

The Dame Was Loaded is a point and click adventure game with some excellent quality full-screen FMV. It's set in 1940's America with you playing a Private Detective - Scott Anger - who has to help find a missing person, as well as solve some personal problems and cope with everyday life.

The control system is slightly unusual, but makes perfect sense once you get used to it. There are plenty of characters to interact with, and the acting's not bad, especially considering that they're Australians putting on American accents!

Some of the puzzles can be slightly obscure, but because you're very rarely told "I can't use that here..." you'll end up trying everything until you get it right.

There's a good, light-hearted atmosphere and the game is pretty big, meaning that it's a good buy for adventure game fans.
