Think with your hands

It's not quite Monkey Island on DS, or indeed, anywhere near, but Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is to be released on Palm PDAs. This is good news. So many developers/publishers are trying to replicate the home console experience on handhelds that they forget that, for example, 3D on the small screen often causes motion sickness. Or is that just me? Point n' click adventures would work fantastically well on handhelds - Another Code is a good example. And with PSP likely to bring in an older audience, narrative-driven games like point and clickers would be even more appealing.
