Telltale Games

Sad news, but BBC Radio's Hercule Poirot - John Moffat, whom personally I think was the best Poirot of all - has died two weeks short of his 90th birthday, and a matter of days before the BBC had scheduled "This Happy Breed" to celebrate his birthday

(The BBC radio series shared Philip Jackson's Inspector Japp with ITV)

How sad... I actually didn't know he was so old. I enjoyed listening to him on the Poirot radio dramas (although I still think David Suchet is the best Poirot).

I gotta say, I’m very disappointed in the video game adaptation of Evil Under The Sun. I can honestly say that I didn’t care for playing as Poirot.

Yeah, I didn't like it much either. In fact, all the Agatha Christie adventure games are... pretty bad. They got the atmosphere down rather well, but the design... you'll just be walking to and fro solving silly puzzles all the time.

Actually, the one Poirot game I played that I found reasonably enjoyable was Peril at End House, and that's a hidden object game...

Actually, I found And Then There Were None to be quite enjoyable. Murder on the Orient Express was just meh.
