The Blackwell Convergence Review

Joey Malone and Rosa team up again in another Blackwell adventure game which takes you into the spooky side of puzzle solving. Following up from the first 2 sagas, The Blackwell Legacy and Blackwell Unbound, the unlikely pairing of a mystic writer and medium and a good humored ghost, once again delve into both the real world and the after life. This time around they must solve a conspiracy that is over shadowing a hit movie and an office that never gets occupied. Plus Rosa and Joey will interview the living and the dead to find answers to why people are dying here, there, and everywhere, yet an investment firms profits are going through the roof.

It won't matter if you haven't played either of it's predecessors, The Blackwell Convergence starts fresh and is easy to play with a distinct click and drag method of game play. It's not a hidden object game, but more of an interactive puzzler, in that you must talk to everyone you meet and elicit clues that will lead you along the path to the truth.

Being a ghost, Joey is more than handy to walk through solid objects and talk to other ghouls in the after life. Once you combine Rosa's clues and Joey's together, you can figure out where to search next or who you need to get answers from. The story is what sucks you in from the start and there is quite a bit of humor, quirky characters and a bizarre ending, which keeps the player fully interested.

Unlike the first 2 games in the series, this time around The Blackwell Convergence has a trial version, so you can give it a try before buying the full game. Perhaps this is one of it's major flaws as it shortens the playing experience. Nevertheless, The Blackwell Convergence fully grabs you by the collar from go to whoa and immerses you into the story. You really want to keep going right to the finish. Like a good interactive movie, you will sway with the music, love the characters and never want the story to end.

Some people seem to have an issue with the graphics, but we didn't see what all the fuss is about. No problems our end. The graphics may be simple but they create a fabulous atmosphere and mood. Give The Blackwell Convergence a good try! The first 2 Blackwell games were very good and this is so far the best. It would rate very high if the game was longer but as it's just a little short, can't get the perfect score.
