Humor, Hotties, Hijinks, and a Handsome Hero.

Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle, a sequel to point-and-click jewel Runaway: a Road Adventure, is available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

This GOG-summer has been gracious to adventure fans: Torin’s Passage, Blackwell Bundle, Resonance coming next week, something unexpected in two weeks, and now Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle, the second part of series that mixes modern execution with old-school point-and-click adventuring.

Brian Brasco, a not-so-nerdy doctoral candidate in Physics at Berkeley, goes with his full-bosomed broad Gina Timmins, whom he saved in the first part of the game, to a well-deserved vacation in Hawaii. Things go from holiday-lazy to exotic-crazy when their plane crashes and Brian needs to set on a journey to once again find his missus.

Publisher describes Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle as “too weirdly entertaining for words in this title” and he’s not far from the truth. Gripping story, challenging puzzles, lovable characters make up for a highly enjoyable little point-and-click gem. Wonderful visuals, which combine 2D backgrounds and 3D 'shapes', will probably appeal more to male audience, but the amazing rest will appeal to all adventure-lovers, especially since Runaway 2 is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for only $9.99.

Wait for another release later today ;).

Zeewolf: This game has the most unlikeable main character in the history of gaming.

Plus, the puzzles are dreadful, which is a bit of a problem when the game piles them up so high that even the most inane task takes about five illogical puzzles to complete.

Licurg: Simon, from the "Simon the Sorceror" series is kind of annoying too, but they're still good games, aren't they?
Well... the first two are ;)

However those games actually have their funny moments... Runaway 2's jokes are mostly...cringeworthy

I got the first game for free, installed it, played about 15 minutes and had to give it away... I don't know, I'm a big fan of adventure games and this one looked really nice, but the atmosphere was just... non-existant at the beginning (and life's too short to play games that don't immediatelly grab me :o)

and since the second part is much worse... not for me :)

but hey, cool trend of adventuring for gamers here, I really look forward to the Resonance!

Looking forward to the unexpected suprise in two weeks. Maybe "Yesterday" from Pendulo?
Indeed GOG's latest releases are great for adventure fans!

lugum: they are very good games even the lesesr known parts 4 and 5.
Is the 5th one available in English yet? And how does it compare to the 4th one?

I'll be honest, I really didn't like StS4... I found it quite boring. Looking back on it, I think I might have had more fun with the buggy and ugly Simon 3D than I did with 4.

Part of me was hoping for a new EA release. ;)

Yeah, the floozie that Brian goes to bed with while his real girlfriend is in mortal danger. As I said, he's not easy to like.

They say they're gonna have another release today. I hope us Hack'n Slash RPG fans get something... Throne of Darkness, Prince of Qin, anything...

Even thought I am an point click adventure game fan and even though I actually enjoyed their recent games (i.e. Yesterday and the Next Big thing), I always had a lot of trouble enjoying Runaway (only played the first one).

From the (IMO) unlikeable main characters to the contextual pixel hunting, I never finished it. (The french dub didn't help either), anyway will probably try this one sooner or later.

I agree. I cannot stand the main character!

I always wanted to try it out when it first got released but never got the chance to.
Wishlisted for sure.

Merchito: :)
Though it's not free (but quite reasonable anyway), there is something feeling like Christmas every release day on GOG. It's a very friendly concept you've got there.
I know what you mean. I've never, in my whole life, been so excited to constantly be given ways to drain my wallet.

lugum: they are very good games even the lesesr known parts 4 and 5.
Wait. This game is a series of five? You learn something new every day. Until this morning I didn't even know it had a *second* part, much less a fourth or a fifth.

Most disappointng sequal. I still haven't played the game through as I didn't like the writing and the main character felt like a total jack ass.
