Welcome to the new improved AusGamers site! We're running a survey to get some more feedback from our users. We're also giving away an Xbox 360 console as well as two Nintendo DS systems!
If you only read one review this season - make it our GTA4 review. We give it the rubber glove treatment in one of our most in-depth game examinations ever.
Penumbra: Overture is a first person adventure game which focuses on story, immersion and puzzles. Instead of using violence to progress the player has to use his/her wits to guide Philip on his quest to unravel the past.
Played from a first person viewpoint, Penumbra is very different from other adventure games. Not only is it powered by a 3D engine utilising cutting edge technology, it also has an advanced physics system which allow for a never before seen environment interaction. The player can open drawers, pull levers, pick up objects and more using natural mouse movements creating a highly interactive and immersive game world.
The demo of Penumbra: Overture gives you a short taste of the full episode. You'll get a chance to play the first couple of levels and tease your brain slightly with a few puzzles as you play around with the advanced physics.
