Secret Files 2 – Puritas Cordis

There is yet another adventure game coming to your Nintendo DS, Wii and PC: Secret Files 2 – Puritas Cordis. Now, if you couldn’t tell, this is the sequel to Secret Files: Tunguska, which was the top selling adventure game of 2006 according to the website. When you have sequels to best sellers, you just can’t go wrong! I mean, just look at the Monkey Island series. The first one was good, but two and three were even better. We won’t talk about the fourth one, though. That one was just crap.

There are lots of things going on in Secret Files 2 what will probably make it just as good as the first one: the same main characters and the interesting story:

Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis…

…the world is on the verge of a catastrophe. By the time Nina Kalenkow realizes that the recent disasters were caused not by nature, but by a ruthless secret society known as Puritas Cordis, it is almost too late.

While her ex-boyfriend, the scientist Max, witnesses the savage operations of Puritas Cordis first hand at the site of an ancient temple in Indonesia, Nina joins forces with a vicar in France to uncover the connection between the secret society’s shocking prophecies and a sinister leader of the order who lived hundreds of years ago. A dramatic race against time begins. Will Nina be able to avert the impending Apocalypse?

Come on now… a secret society? Races against time? Killer squirrels with vicious teeth and claws (okay, there weren’t really and killer squirrels in this game, but it sure would’ve added extra drama, don’t you think…)? How can you NOT grab this game off the shelf when it arrives?

We should be seeing this game sometime in the second quarter of 2009.
