Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet
Despite being twenty six years old at the time of writing, The Secret of Monkey Island is still one of the best titles in the point & click adventure genre. It has obviously been since surpassed in terms of visuals and audio, but the brilliant humor and clever puzzles still cements its position as a true classic. It also means that you have to be pretty brave as a developer to release a pirate themed point & click adventure. Undeterred, comedian Alasdair Beckett-King has forged ahead and created Nelly Cootalot, a swashbuckling pirate themed adventure with undeniable Monkey Island influences. However, despite sharing some similarities with the Lucasarts classic, The Fowl Fleet is not just a pale imitation, but a great adventure in its own right.

Even Nelly herself sounds great and it is hard not to be charmed by her determined, but slightly dimwitted nature. It’s also hard not to chuckle at characters with names like Gusty Nethers and Commodore LXIV to name just two.

Not all the jokes and puns will leave you in stitches, but the game is definitely humorous enough considering its family friendly nature. In addition to the English voice acting the game also features full German voice acting, which is a nice surprise. There’s not much to say about the soundtrack as it is nice and mellow, but never becomes repetitive or obtrusive. Catchy songs are nice, but not when you are stuck on a puzzle and forced to listen to them over and over, so we appreciate the soothing tunes in The Fowl

Heroes are often plastic characters that only know how to be a hero and nothing else. They do not have any other qualities about them and are one dimensional. These types of characters can only show up in fictional stories and never appear in the real world. The only kind of heroes that do show up in the real world are the ones that still make mistakes and mess up a few times, but that is because we are human and that is what humans do. Rooster Cogburn having qualities of a buffoon and a hero, makes True Grit more realistic than if he were flawless.

The importance of the precious existence of unity within familial relations in any given society is the reason for the integration and conveyance of the value of secured bonds between family members in both John Steinbeck’s and Geraldine Brooks’ novels. In their literary works, inspiration came from historical events and certain situations in their lives. The influence of the conditions of migrant labours during the Dust Bowl of the Great Depression led to the creation of John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath. The work questions the value of familial relations in a third-person perspective as families such as the Joad’s face difficulties and obstacles throughout the years.
