Description
Last week we talked about good games with rubbish tales. This week, it's the reverse - great stories with bad games attached to them.
John thinks Dreamfall had an moving story about faith, alongside an awful 3D adventure interface. Katharine hates looking at the wall in Soma because the underwater robo-facility is so intriguing. And Brendan is sad that Pyre had a fiddly netball game attached to its warm tale of friendship and justice.
