The Slaughter has a string of interesting ingredients to entice your interest. First, it's a noir-style point and click adventure. Second, it's set in Victorian London. Third, you're a private eye investigating a series of killings. It's a combination of classic LucasArts adventure games, with darker themes apparently inspired by the works of David Lynch, Cormac McCarthy, and Max Ernst....

Unigamesity: For years we waited for LucasArts to give the go-ahead for the third installment to arguably the most beloved FPS of the sixth generation of consoles (PS2/Xbox/GameCube). For whatever reason, it never came. Then one day, the gods smiled upon us. The day was June 10, 2013, and after years of speculation, EA announced that DICE would be re-launching the series on the next generation of consoles.

From Strategyinformer.com: "Im lucky in terms of games Ive wished to exist. Rocksteady gave me the Batman games Ive always wanted, Telltale made a new Monkey Island, there are new Thief and Deus Ex games coming out, and that F2P Command Conquer game got shut down. What still eludes me however is that big epic Indiana Jones experience. With LucasArts disappearing up some executives backside and Disney not realising they bought something other than just Star Wars Im not holding out much hope, but luckily developer The Farm 51 (a Polish studio who have helped on Painkiller, The Witcher and made, uh, Necrovision) wanted the same thing as me. They couldnt get the Indiana Jones licence so they made their own adventurer please welcome James Quatermain and his Deadfall Adventures."

Two former LucasArts developers now working together as Seacliff Interactive are turning to Kickstarter to fund their new project, Super Roman Conquest, a retro side-scrolling RTS that takes place in a multi-layered, 3D world set in Ancient Rome. They are still in the early stages of development, so everything you see is pre-Alpha and none of the art is final. The release is planned for PC, Mac, Linux, and Ouya.

Andrew of Corrupted Cartridge writes "Drawing inspiration from games like The Secret of Monkey Island and the Kings Quest series, the Deponia games from German developer Daedalic Entertainment harken back to the golden age of the point-and-click adventure game, when developers like LucasArts and Sierra reigned supreme."

GamerZines writes: If you call yourself a fan of adventure games and you havent heard of Daedalics Deponia series then please do us a favour. Go to your nearest mirror, look yourself squarely in the eye and slap yourself across the face as hard as possible. Go do it, well wait That hurt us a little bit less than it hurt you, but really you should have heard of this series! Along with Telltale Games and Double Fine, Daedalic are one of the last major studios flying the point-and-click flag, and their work is slowly but surely reaching that high-water quality mark forged by LucasArts in the early 90s

Gamers have started a petition on Change.org for Electronic Arts to finish the production of Star Wars 1313. After Disney acquired LucasArts in 2013, all employees were laid off and the company was shut down, thus cancelling all current projects. This included games such as Star Wars 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault.

GamerNode Senior Editor Mike Murphy writes: "Toward the end of this seventh console generation, certain games emerged that dared to question just what makes a video game a video game. Though not as extreme a case as Heavy Rain, LA Noire is without a doubt one of the most notorious examples. The games insistence on a more story- and character-focused experience provided gameplay that harkened back to classic adventure titles made by LucasArts and Sierra Entertainment in the 80s and 90s, yet remained innovative enough to become something all its own..."
