Yep finally I am playing a great adventure again after a long time. I haven't finished the Black Mirror yet, but so far I can say that it's the best adventure I've played in a long time.

Puzzles are logical, innovative, smart you name it. There is no pixel hunting. The story is progressing smoothly and more and more questions arise as you continue playing. The only bad part so far is the voice acting but there are so many good parts about Black Mirror that you forget about it. It seems to be long as well. I've put already more than 8 hours into it and it seems like I haven't reached the middle of the game yet.  

But as already said I haven't finished it so this is just my impression so far. If it goes on like this until the end though then we are definitely talking about a classic. Another tiny drawback I just discovered is that the game has only 24 saves, and I've spent all of them on chapter 2. Why do developers limit the number of save slots  ???

Nevertheless, if this game continues like it's going now then it is a must buy for all pure adventure fans.

I checked out the review on pc.ign.com and it looks pretty good.
Although i prefer 2d-hand drawn graphics i liked bm's high detailed 3d backgrounds.
I also like the fact that the game is point and click. :)

As for the saves, i had a similar problem in dune2 (i think).
There were only 10 (or so) savegame slots, and no way to overwrite or delete them, so i noticed a savegame directory and i deleted the saves i didn't need, and in the game there were free slots again.
Maybe you could try that.

I've only seen a bit of it, as I gave my copy to a friend, but I can tell you that the voice acting is horrible.
