   The original Gabriel Knight is one of my favorite games ever. Greta
writing, long, tough and involving. The Beast Within had a questionable
interface that took a lot of the interactive away, but I loved it: probably
the best writing in an adult adventure ever - much unlike the childish
Phantasmagoria, a game that had a nice start but was developed badly. And I
can't wait for Gabriel Knight 3... almost as much as I'm waiting for a new
Indy game.
