Reccomend me a good Adventure Game

[irishScott]

Now I love the point-and-click genre, ate up the Myst Series. But I despise such games that are little more than pixel scavenger hunts and whose useable items make zero sense in combination. In short, I'm looking for a good adventure game. Thanks in advance!

The Monkey Island SE bundle (both MI 1 and 2) can be had at Steam for $9 until 1/2/12.

Machinarium is great as well and is $5.

indigo prophecy and dreamfall: the longest journey are my favorite adventure games.
from newer games try LA Noire, but it's more of a detective game.

Back the the Future was fun. I'm thinking about buying Jurassic Park too.

There's a web site just for adventure games: justadventure.com.

It's dated but I really enjoyed Gabirel Knight 2.

The Longest Journey (beware, it's old and may require some work and/or patching to get to work with windows 7), and its sequel, Dreamfall are awesome.

also look at Syberia 1 and 2.

The Great Out Doors, made by a company called nature.

agreed...TLJ and Dreamfall are amazing...

How about Sam & Max; I think that series is still going.
A couple real old ones I liked were Bladerunner, and Full Throttle.
I haven't played any of them, but the Nancy Drew games are popular with women.

Amnesia: an adventure in pants crapping fear.

I always wanted to play those games.

No idea why I never picked them up.

I second that vote. Excellent game. Got it in a Humble Bundle and received the soundtrack as well. Very well done.

Another vote for Sam and Max. Spent many hours with my grandson during the first couple of seasons of that game. Great humor and puzzles that were not too frustrating to solve.

Grim Fandango

One of my all time faviorte games. It does not like playing on Window7, but there is a community patch out there that will make it work.

I find that I agree with reviews from www.adventuregamers.com more than with reviews from Just Adventure.

Scratches - Director's Cut -:thumbsup:

Sanitarium - is also a fine game...

Strong Bad's game for attractive people's good if you like Home Star Runner, if you don't know what that is go to homestarrunner.com and watch some of the toons on there. I had a blast with the games. If they made a season 2 I'd definitely buy it.
