Looking Forward to LucasArts in 2003 04 Jan, 2003, 12:24 / 6 comments

Games Domain has published a list of games they are most looking forward to in 2003. Along with Zelda, Doom III, and Halo 2, you'll find such LucasArts games as Galaxies, Knights of the Old Republic, and Full Throttle 2. Here's a quote from the list concerning the sequel to Full Throttle:
Details are still scant, but the game will feature the same lead as the original, Ben, leader of a motorcycle gang called the Polecats. It also promises a similar mix of action and puzzles.

The comedy adventure genre has been severely neglected in recent years, so it's good to see probably the most acclaimed publisher of adventure games getting back to its roots. We'll be waiting eagerly to see what they come up with.
You can check out the full list here.

    Yes the storyline is quite serious but its cartoon-like animation and humour sorta classifies it as a comedy.

    -deleted- I changed my mind. I'll give no comment on this one JQuest.

    Well... It has a fairly epic storyline I guess, but the game also had a lot of comedic elements. I don't think it's wrong to call it a comedy adventure, though not necessarily right either.

    I don't know if I would classify Full Throttle as a comedy either, but it does have a lot of comedic moments.

    Not to mention Chitlins, Whiskey, and Skirt.
