Games are a popular gift for Christmas and there are many out there released just in time for the holidays on variety of platforms: Xbox 360, Kinect for Xbox, Nintendo, Wii and PS3. There are smaller handheld models and larger presentations that work really well on the big screen TVs. Don’t forget the computer game sector with games suitable for Mac and PC. Computer games are more affordable and with a myriad of titles that are quick to download. Diving right into them is easier than perhaps the other platforms– often because they give you an hour or so to test-drive the game to see if you like it. Big Fish Games is one the brands out there who have a huge range of games from arcade to brain-teasers with over 10 categories to play including puzzles. Their latest — and seems to be one of the most ambitious games yet– is Drawn: Dark Flight. This puzzle game is more unique in its’ artistic presentation visually and musically. With a strong storyline, this is one of those games that allows you to immerse yourself in a new world and see something new every time you sit down to play it because the puzzles force you to explore the world of Drawn: Dark Flight.

The distinctiveness of Drawn: Dark Flight has to do with the creative pacing of the game that has gone the distance with an incredible musical score that both pushes the drama and dynamic game-play. Clean Cuts is the production house behind the score and they had a close collaboration with the game development team to work the music directly into the game-play. More than just changing with the player’s actions, Clean Cuts helped craft musical puzzles within the game itself. Big Fish and Clean Cuts went the distance to create an 360 degree experience for the gamer.

Having played puzzle games before, it usually takes me a bit to get into the mode of solving the puzzles and how each game works is puzzle unto itself. What I like about this game (and all of the Big Fish Games as well as other computer games) is that the consumer can test-drive this game for about an hour to see if you and the game mesh. Makes it more cost-effective to find out if the game is a good match. I like that the storyline is so creative and the graphics are well-done. I think the music itself is very cinematic and drives the gameplaying dynamic tension. I found that if I didn’t pay attention to what I was doing/seeing within the game, I had to go back to find what I needed to solve puzzles. While the best games do that, it’s often frustrating, but with this game, I found that it was definitely worthwhile because the “reveal” of the objects necessary to solve the various puzzles were pretty interesting.
Courtesy of Big Fish Games, I was able to interview the two co-producers,/creative directors of Drawn: Dark Flight game–Brian Thompson and Chris Campbell–and it was definitely an interesting interview!Drawn: Dark Flight’s Collector’s Edition Video
