December 2, 2008 - It's amazing how many games are made about archaeologists. The large number of Indiana Jones/Lara Croft titles out there is baffling really, considering the high boring quotient of dusty potshards. Of course the Indy/Lara brand of archaeologist is more likely to be punching thugs than writing dissertations. In third-person adventure game Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual, publisher City Interactive presents a scholarly take on a swashbuckling game profession, betting that gamers will dig an artifact-hunter heroine even without the cutoffs and cleavage.

Despite being named like a sassy coat check girl from a '40's movie, Sylvie Leroux is the anti-Lara Croft. Not only does she wear long pants, she forgoes traipsing through the jungle for working quietly in Paris. One day she receives an urgent phone call from her archaeologist uncle urging her to return to her childhood home, a seaside village on the island of Malta, to witness an incredible discovery he's made. Arriving in Malta, Sylvie discovers her uncle's run afoul of the government and vanished, along with several priceless artifacts. To find him, Sylvie will have to use her wits, her charm and every bit of her scholarly expertise.
