Though to be fair the latter game had an entire comic series to pull its story from! Which, on paper, is an intruiging story but – unfortunately – isn’t as compelling as the one in the recently reviewed Ghost: Elisa Cameron.

Faircroft’s Antiques: The Forbidden Crypt – Collectors Edition is the latest point and click, hidden-object adventure/puzzle game from developer BoomZap and publisher Ocean Media, following both Faircroft’s Antiques: Home For Christmas and Faircroft’s Antiques: The Heir of Glen Kinnoch – taking the gameplay aspects of both previous games and updating both the graphics AND control system for this latest in the franchise.
