If you're looking for an adventure game to sink your teeth into then you may want to check out ECHO: Secrets of the Lost Cavern which ships to stores next week. The latest game from The Adventure Company has you playing Arok, a young boy who wants to do more than just hunt for his clan (I'm guessing this is the pre-historic version of the factory job). To do this you'll set out from your clan and encounter various challenges and puzzles which will build your character and put hair on your chest. The concept is a little played but the setting is actually kind of interesting as you'll be exploring a historically accurate area from the Paleolithic period.
