Ron, There's a preview of Broken Sword at: videogames.com The game is actually a direct port of "Circle of Blood," which was released for the PC in 1996. This preview sounded pretty positive on the game, but I've also read another beta review (in PSM's paper magazine, I think) that was very critical of the game. In general, most click-and-point adventure games don't port well to the Playstation because of the longer load times and differing gameplay expectations (X-Com, Myst, Riven -- to name a few). Just my opinion, but I'm not expecting great sales for Broken Sword. As for Quest 64, everything I've seen indicates that it'll be a great game. I know most of my friends with N64's have been dying for an RPG, especially with Zelda 64 having been delayed. My feeling is that as long as Quest 64 is even half-way decent, it should sell quite well considering that it'll be out before Zelda. Anyway, just my two cents. Harry
