For those who don't know Charles Cecil, he's the man behind some of the greatest point and click adventures of all time, such as the Broken Sword series or Toonstruck (one of my favourites, at least). Dave Gibbons is just the artist for that almost unknown and non-prizewinner comic called Watchmen. These two guys worked together in the early 90's to bring us the fabled Beneath a Steel Sky (which is now free to download and play, get it here now if you didn't play it yet!), and, from what this short entry from Eurogamer seems to say, they are going to work together, again. For those of you who are too lazy to click on links to external sites, these were Cecil's words:

"All I can say is, I am working with Dave Gibbons and we're working on a new adventure game. We have a number of ideas for premises and we honestly haven't decided which road we're going to go down. But I love writing and playing adventure games and that is what I'm going to stick to."

He didn't underline his own words, mostly because of the physical laws, but I wanted to emphasize that last sentence. After so many years of "meh" adventure games (although there were quite some glorious exceptions), might this be the moment for a new awesomely epic point-and-click adventure? Or maybe we're talking about a totally different approach now (considering the latest Broken Sword titles)? I guess time will have the final word ;)
