Today's French Avanquest Xmas offer is unfortunately a demo, but might be interesting to some gamers. Not being a gamer myself, this may be well known, but a Google and Yahoo search don't show much about it, so it may be a little rare. You can only play the first of 22 levels, but not knowing hard that is, there's a slight chance it might be worth a try.
Azur et Asmar - English title: the Princes' Quest. Based on an award winning 2006 animated medieval children's fantasy film by Michel Ocelot. The movie was released around the world in '06 - '07, but didn't reach the U.S. until this fall. Distributors were afraid it would get a PG-13 or higher because of (Horrors!) a breast feeding scene. It's currently in the middle of an American art house run. Emme games released it, but it doesn't appear to have been widely distributed in English speaking countries. Here's a trailer in French. Warning! (Will Robinson) The offending scene is right up front.

The core download is almost certainly in French.
