Adventure in Ubisoft's Paradise
If you've already finished Dreamfall, you won't have to wait long for your next adventure fix. Ubisoft is now shipping Paradise, a new African-based adventure title from Benoit Sokal of Syberia fame. Sokal draws from personal experience in this game, having spent part of his childhood in the Congo.
In addition to your main character's quest for self-identity, an Arabian prince has asked you to escort a black leopard back to her home. This introduces another gameplay element, as Paradise allows you to control the big cat in a real-time 3D environment while your human avatar sleeps. Ass-kicking felines are always cool, and I've put them to good use with the Vah Shir berserker in Return to Arms, and my panther familiars in Neverwinter Nights. The main character can sleep the whole game as far as I'm concerned. Just bring on the cat.
