After all the positive reviews the last couple of weeks, we have another one. EGC Games gave Overclocked a 89% score! Here are some quotes about the game: 
<p>
&quot;Overclocked is a game we have had a first look at in Leipzig's Games Convention in 2007 and we must say that the final result is impressive.&quot;
</p>
<p>
&quot;...along with the excellent sound to build up the necessary suspense.&quot;
</p>
<p>
&quot;What <em>does</em> add a lot to the atmosphere is the music theme. It is absolutely what it is supposed to be and is the reason why your speakers should be set at a respectable volume.&quot;
</p>

At the Lighthouse HQ we are very excited to see that Adventure Classic Gaming gave Overclocked a perfect review score of 5 out of 5. We couldn't have wished for a better review score. This is what they said: 
</p>
<ul>
	<li><em>&quot;House of Tales has created a sure winner with the release of its adventure game Overclocked&quot;</em></li>
	<li><em>&quot;With Overclocked, House of Tales has developed not only a great game but a work of cinematic art.&quot;</em></li>
	<li><em>&quot;With some 20 hours or more of playing time (the game comes on 2 DVDs), you are sure to get full bang for your buck with Overclocked. Congratulations to House of Tales on this sure winner!&quot; </em></li>
</ul>
<p>

<br />
Another website who made us proud with a very good review score for Overclocked is&nbsp;Gameboomers. This is what the reviewer had to say about the game: 
</p>
<ul>
	<li><em>&quot;It is ambitious, exciting and yes, overclocked -- just as its name suggests -- in its look, feel and attitude.&quot;</em></li>
	<li><em>&quot;So, would I recommend this game to my fellow players? The answer is yes I would&quot;</em></li>
</ul>

Today the American website Adventure Classic Gaming published an interesting interview with Martin Gantef&ouml;hr, creative director at Houde of Tales. <br />
They asked Martin questions like: 
</p>
<ul>
	<li>Overclocked deals heavily with violence and the psychology of aggression. Why have you chosen such an intense, controversial theme for the game? </li>
	<li>From a gamer&rsquo;s perspective, what do you believe to be the most fulfilling kind of experience when playing adventure games? </li>
	<li>You seem unafraid of trying out very different story genres and themes with each new game. How do you describe your own ambitions as a game designer?</li>
</ul>
<p>
He also gave some interesting answers: 
</p>
<ul>
	<li>Essentially, making games, and making only one game at a time, is a business model that&rsquo;s similar to Russian Roulette. We&rsquo;ve pulled the trigger three times now, and the gun clicked three times.</li>
	<li>I believe making games with mature subject matter (-- and by that I don&rsquo;t mean, &lsquo;harmful to minors&rsquo;, but &lsquo;interesting for grown-ups&rsquo; --) isn&rsquo;t catering to the <em>wrong</em> demographic. It is catering to a <em>different</em> demographic. </li>
</ul>
<p>
Interested&nbsp;what Martin answered? Also&nbsp;curious why&nbsp;he compared making games to Russian Roulette? Read the&nbsp;complete interview on <a href="http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/347" target="_blank">AdventureClassicGaming.com</a>.

<br />
This is what they had to say about the new psychological thriller: 
<p>
<em>&quot;Overclocked: A History of Violence</em> does prove to be a fascinating title for those who enjoy a good story.&quot; 
</p>
<p>
&quot;Atmosphere is something that is abundant in <em>Overclocked</em>, in no small part thanks to the great use of sound effects and sparing use of music.&quot; 
</p>
<p>
&quot;...there are moments that can put you on edge and the anticipation of what 'might' happen is at the forefront.&quot; 
</p>
<p>
<em>&quot;Overclocked: A History of Violence</em> is a worthy pursuit for anyone who likes an interesting story well told.&quot;
