My only beef with them is the "hard-boiled" dialog from Joey. I just don't think Mr. Gilbert or the voice actor are very good at it and being a huge noir fan, especially of the old-school Hollywood style that he seems to be channeling, I find Joey's lines a bit clunky at times. Still I know I'm being overly picky there and I'm sure they've gotten better at it! I quite like the Blackwell games and I am eagerly awaiting this one.

I had first started with The Shivah and then continued with B. Legacy when it came to BigFish Games and then bought the prequel Unbound directly from Wadjet, I even exchanged a few emails with Dave back then, because he noticed my email address including Vetinari, a discworld character :) The demo was ace, I've been really looking forward to this for a long time, glad to see the portraits back...

It was the title where Dave Gilbert finally came to grip with serious, dramatic storytelling. His first foray into it with the Blackwell prototype "Bestowers of Eternity" was a snooze fest in my opinion, but since then it only got better! Blackwell Unbound had a powerful ending and I really became attached to Joey and Lauren. I can't really say this about Rosangela in the first part, but I like what I see in the cartoon. So, I'm sure to buy it as soon as it comes out! Blackwell Legacy was alright, but the follow up was the one that made me love the series.

Surprised you didn't mention Emerald City Confidential in the post though, even though it's not particularly special (by all accounts it was heavily dumbed down at the publisher's request).
