Also known as Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, this is quite a gorgeous point and click adventure, with superlative graphics and animation, brilliant voice acting, and an engaging plot with some fiendish puzzles. Safe to say that this game was the pinnacle of the genre, a notable pedigree stretching from the Golden-Age of Sierra and Lucasarts right up to the end of DOS gaming and the birth of Windows. Charles Cecil took what was by then a by-the-numbers style of game and added a sense of style and polish that truly raised the bar.
