Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy

Sleeper-hit Egyptian-themed adventure game

Strengths: Very good adventure game.

Weakness: No voice dialogue Scarab collection

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a very well designed and fun adventure game in the spirit of the Zelda-Ocarina/Windwaker genre. The graphics in the game are excellent. The environments in the game are expansive and the characters are unique and refreshing. The gameplay involves combat, lots of puzzle solving and missions; so there is a lot of variety in the game.

Sphinx

Strengths: -great platformer -Zelda-ish type gameplay -great bang for the buck

For reference, it resembles Zelda Wind Waker in game style. The graphics aren't as tight and refined, but still nothing to shake your fist at. The level design and clever gameplay make up for the missing graphical...
