Adventurous Wing Commander Review
Adventure4Life has a Youtube channel where he posts video game reviews, focusing mostly on classic titles from the adventuring genre. For his latest creation, he instead examines the original Wing Commander and also touches on Wing 2, 3 and 4. You can watch it online here. Downloadable versions are also available in standard and HD quality. Join the discussion on the Forums.

Also you may note this particular game is NOT an adventure game... heh heh.. hey it is my channel so there!! Seriously though, WC, WC2 and WC3 are all land mark games in computer gaming history that have left their footprints on all games that have ever come after them. While I still intend to focus in adventure games (my fav type of game) it would be criminal of me to talk about the FMV adventure games with out mentioning WC franchise. Then after i tracked it down and started playing it.. I just feel in love with it again and simple couldn't stop. I have always thought that adventure games stand the test of time as they are purly story driven and stories never die, but WC1 and 2 have shown me that action orientated games can have a retro appeal long after there game engines have been immeasurably improved. I suppose it dose help that wc1-3 has such an epic and awesome story.

Well I hope you like it and I will be back soon with my next review (I tend to do them in 2's) and this one will be a classic adventure game again...
