Runaway: A Twist of Fate (2009) Review
Considering how the last game ended, I was fully expecting it to start with the great big rescue. Imagine my surprise when it starts with Brian’s funeral. I was further surprised when he was not only convicted of murdering Colonel Kordsmeier but also declared insane and put in a psychiatric hospital. Like, wow, that’s a lot to take in at once. Then it turns out Brian faked his death to escape the hospital to try and clear his name? Honestly, that sounds like something he would do. A welcome twist on the series’ formula is that Gina was much more involved this time. No longer is she a damsel in distress, but a playable character. And her breasts are actually covered for once, thankfully. There is some narrating the past, as per usual, but things do mostly take place in the present time with new, quirky characters.

A Cry in the Darkness
The first time Areeba felt the weight of the world, she was only five. She didn’t know it was called grief. She didn’t know it was called loneliness. She just knew that while other girls were hugged and kissed goodnight, she sat on the cold floor outside her room, too afraid to cry loud enough for anyone to hear.

The Guy Next Door
The smell of fresh-cut grass drifted through the warm summer air, mixing with something sweeter — Mrs. Walker’s legendary apple pie cooling on the windowsill. Classic suburbia. Quiet streets, trimmed hedges, happy families. Nothing ever really happened here.
