You still have the second part of the game to look forward to.

I don't either but I've always checked this group most days though not many 
posts but some of the "old" posters drop by once in a while. Nice to see you 
posting.

I played the demo of Mobeus. I have a mixed opinion about it. I didn't know 
it was a remake of the first Gabriel knight game -"Sins of the Fathers" - it 
was a good game. I also like The beast within and "Blood of the sacred, 
blood of the damned". Some people didn't like GK3 as much as the previous 
two games, but I liked it probably the best.

So-so. I have my days :>)
