Animated Arts - Secret Files/Lost Horizon

   
The Secret Files and Lost Horizon are point & click adventures, there are four games in the Secret Files series, and two in Lost Horizons, which can be bought in one pack from GOG, which is what I did. Are these games for you? Well, if you're like me, and approve of many nice looking, varied locations and with filling your inventory with objects for solving problems (I know not everyone likes this in their adventures), you will.

I read some reviews when I bought the games, where people complained about the voice acting, I think its OK though, maybe not the best, but I've heard a lot worse, its fine.

The Secret Files
You start the game in Berlin, playing the part of Nina Kalenkov, investigating the disappearance of her scientist father, and his connection to mysterious project involving Tunguska, and your journey will take you through many countries including Cuba, Ireland, Russia and the Antarctic. Most of the first three games are from the perspective of Nina, occasionaly switching to other characters, as you travel around the globe.

Lost Horizon
Set during WWII, the first of the series has you playing as Fenton Paddock, a former British officer tasked with finding his friend, apparently last seen in Tibet. Your adventures will take you to such places as China, India and Morocco. In Lost Horizon 2, you again join Fenton Paddock, this time during the (previous) Cold War.
