Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of The Templars

Thanks to the efforts of a few hard core fans, Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of The Templars, has been released. This unofficial sequel to the Broken Sword series takes place between Broken Sword II and Broken Sword III. 2.5 also brings back the classic 2D comic-style, point & click interface that made the first two Broken Swords so great to play.

Unfortunately for the moment all the voice actors are in German, though English subtitles are included. The good news however is that they are currently under-way recording the English voices. I just hope they some how manage to get a hold of Rolf Saxon, fingers crossed.

To download the full game, completely free. Visit the offical Broken Sword 2.5 website.

You are intelligent and peaceful…maybe you should consider going into a different line of work. Even though you are friendly, you should try to fit in with other more often.

I’m not exactly sure what happened to it after that but I guess I threw it out.

I am sure I wasn’t the only kid back then to get frustrated by it & try the same tactic, but a select few clearly never gave up trying, and practiced for hours upon hours to become a true Rubik’s cube master. enjoy :)
