Whether you've played the original Broken Sword on PC or not, this Director's Cut version for DS is well worth picking up.

Fortunately, the script is good enough to stand on its own. During our testing, it played pretty much every game we threw at it. The only downside is that the DS version lacks the excellent voice acting of Rolf Saxon. DraStic DS Emulator is probably the best of the Nintendo DS emulators right now. To draw in those who had already played the game, though, the Director's Cut added new puzzles specifically suited to the DS touchscreen, animated facial expressions, and a brand new complementary storyline which follows George's fellow adventurer Nico Collard to new locations and adds more depth to the original story. The depth can be adjusted with a slider found to the right. One of the consoles primary features is the 3D visual screen, which displays auto-stereoscopic images to create the illusion of depth without the need for 3D glasses. The game follows the original story of George Stobbart as he travels across the world to unravel the Templar conspiracy. The Nintendo 3DS is the successor to the Nintendo DS produced by Nintendo. The dual-screen touch elements of the Nintendo DS work extremely well with the point-and-click style of play and Broken Sword is one of the best games in the genre to show this. We designed cartridge adapters for Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, & Atari Lynx so you can explore portable gaming.

It's a PC point-and-click classic, but bringing a new and improved version of the original Broken Sword title to the portable Nintendo DS was a stroke of genius on the part of Nintendo and Revolution software. Pocket is the ultimate tribute to portable gaming. (Image credit: Ubisoft) Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut
