With its cartoon steampunk inspired graphics and challenging gameplay that combines puzzle solving with strategy, it's hard not to like Greed Corp. Like many great games, the fundamental concept is pretty easy to pick up. The game board comprised of a number of hexagonal pillars that can be lowered and destroyed. Up to four players take turns moving and/or producing units and placing structures, all with the goal of being the last one standing. Certain actions, like mining an area for resources, cause pillars to descend until they fall away. Players can use the destructible environment to their advantage by creating isolated islands or sabotage opponents sitting on them.

This is the playable demo for Gray Matter, a new supernatural themed point-and-click puzzle adventure game from author Jane Jensen (best known as the creator of the Gabriel Knight series). The demo includes the tutorial and all of chapter 3, where the player takes control of of Dr. David Styles. Continue reading after the jump to read the system requirements.

"Neurobiologist Dr. David Styles is one of the game`s central characters: since losing his wife in a horrible accident some several years ago, he has become a recluse, seldom leaving Dread Hill House, his English country estate. When student and part-time street performer Samantha Everett shows up at his doorstep, she unexpectedly becomes his assistant. Hailing from America, she has been travelling through most of Europe the last couple years. Her first task: finding six test subjects at Oxford University for one of Styles` experiments. The experiment starts off innocently enough, but then inexplicable incidents start mounting.

Players control both Dr. David Styles and Samantha Everett in their bid to uncover the secrets and find out the truth. Gray Matter tackles questions concerning the nature of reality and the power of the human mind in constructing the world we take for granted."

Gray Matter is the long awaited adventure game from the creative mind of Jane Jensen, the creator of the classic Gabriel Knight series. The title has gone through several years of development and apparently more than one developer. While a local box version of the game is apparently still due for release in 2011, you can now download the German version of the game now at the Gamer Unlimited web site.

While it's made for German audiences, there is an English voice-over track so it should be OK to play for a US audience. It cost 39.95 euros to download the title which lets players control two characters, Dr. David Styles and his assistant Samantha Everett. They are conducting some kind of experiment but soon, odd stuff begins to happen ...

A game that has suffered through numerous release date delays is dealing with yet another one. Gray Matter, the adventure game designed by Jane Jensen, who created the classic Gabriel Knight titles, won't be released this month as previously announced. Instead, the game is now due for release on February 25 for both the PC and Xbox 360.

In a press release this morning, the game's UK publisher Lace Mamba Global announced that while the game's development team has been working "extremely hard" to finish Gray Matter for an October release but in the end it was felt that there was "no alternative" but to push the game's release date back yet again. The press release cited the "need for more polishing" as the reason for the delay.

A fantasy RPG game series that's popular in parts of Europe is due out in the US and in the UK soon. Germany-based publisher dtp entertainment revealed on its message boards that Drakensang: The River Of Time will be coming stateside in early 2011.

The game was first released in its native Germany earlier this year and is actually a prequel to the earlier game Drakensang: The Dark Eye. It was developed by Radon Labs which was acquired by browser MMO publisher Bigpoint earlier this summer. The development team is still apparently planning on releasing a third game in the Drakensang series in 2011.

One of the most anticipated adventure games in recent years has been Gray Matter, which features the promised return to the genre of Jane Jensen, the creator of the classic Gabriel Knight series. The game has suffered through many delays since it was first announced including switching developers in mid-stream.

Now our sister site Joystiq, in a report from last week's E3 2010, states that Gray Matter's publisher dtp Entertainment has now put its foot down and declared that Gray Matter is slated for a release sometime this October. Considering the number of times this game has had its release date pushed back, this goes under the "We will believe it when we see it" category.

The last time we got an update on the long-in-development adventure game Gray Matter it was supposed to be released in March 2010. Obviously it missed that deadline. Now the game's publisher dtp Entertainment has announced that the title will be released sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.

The announcement (which also reveals an Xbox 360 release for the game in addition to the PC) gives out some details of the game's actual storyline which was developed by Jane Jensen, the creator of the classic Gaberial Knight series. You will be controlling two characters in the game, Dr. David Styles and his assistant Samantha Everett. They are conducting some kind of an experiment but, as the press release states, ". . . soon strange things start happening."
