I&#8217;ve never been as big a Broken Sword fan as some (probably because I wasn&#8217;t even aware of them in their heyday) and Riven was way too hard for me (either that, or I&#8217;m way too lazy for it). Even so, the iOS ports are worth checking out&mdash;especially if you have fond memories of playing these games on PC. And Grisly Manor is a lot of fun, if painfully short. All in all, a good round-up for adventure gamers who are looking for some worthwhile distractions in the App Store.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit, however, that in spite of discovering a surprising number of great adventure games for my iPod Touch, at this point I&#8217;ve probably clocked the most hours on Tetris, Scrabble, and Monopoly (got them for $0.99 each over Christmas). Sometimes all a girl wants is some stupid repetitive fun. Plus, winning in Scrabble makes me feel much smarter than floundering around in Riven.<\/p>\n<p>But I digress. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuregamers.com\/article\/id,1264\" target=\"new\">Go read it!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second installment of Eye on iPhone is now up at Adventure Gamers.
