recommend me a new adventure game please!!?
hi
im enjoying the monkey island series and i enjoyed the sam and max episodes but i havent enjoyed a full length adventure game for years. i played and enjoyed fahrenheit but that wasnt really an adventure game, i played gabriel knight 1 shortly after i finished gk3 when that came out and i finished and really enjoyed those but i havent really enjoyed anything since. i played and just about finished syberia, couldn't be bothered to finish syberia ii. finished the longest journey barely but found it realy boring, finished dreamfall but again that wasnt really an advenure game, more like a adventure/rpg hybrid but didn't do either that great imo! i really enjoyed most of the lucasarts classics, the gabriel knight series, phantasmagoria series, tex murphy series (i really liked the fmv scene) didnt really like ripper and black dahlia though as they were a bit hard
i prefer object manipulation puzzles rather than slidey tile myst puzzles, average difficulty. something simple and witty like monkey island or a really engaging thriller, mystery/horror thing like gabriel knight. not too keen of fantasy stuff in adventure games or sci fi type storylines., though i did enjoy kyrandia series, but i didnt like discworld.
can someone reccomend me an adventure game based on above. i will probably try out whispered worlds and ghost pirates of vooju island and grey matter and see if i finish those, anything else thats allready available though?

It's a fantastic game.
If you don't mind simplistic graphics, you could also play the first game in the series, Colonel's Bequest... which is also very good.
Or how about Nick Bounty - A Case Of The Crabs by Telltale's own Mark Darin?
OR play the last one first, so you wouldnt know how bad they screw up and then play the other 3.
Seconded, if you haven't played them already. There's a third and fourth Broken Sword which aren't as good, but aren't terrible. Broken Sword one's also in Director Cut editions with new scenes and stuff on the Wii and DS, no speech on the DS though
Make sure you get the Director's Cut; it has a "mini-epilogue" of added gameplay and an alternate ending.
Are you kidding me!? Simon the Sorcerer 3D was a nightmare! Play Simon 4 before the 3rd game, you won't struggle through it's horrible graphics and disjointed story. :eek: I guess I don't mean to offend anyone either, that's just my opinion.

Broken Sword 2.5
[shameless advertising of a service I like]
GoG has Broken Sword 2/3, prepackaged versions of various free ScummVM compatible games, Simon the Sorceress, The Feeble Files, Runaway, Tex Murphy and Jack Orlando.

None taken: too each his own. For me it's probably Day of the Tentacle
I've replayed DotT more times than any other LucasArts game. That horse with the false teeth still makes me laugh.
Is this some new sequel where he becomes a transvestite?
Behind the awfull graphics lies a great game. Way much better than the 4th.
Its a shame that lot of people just skipped the 3rd because of that.
The 4th is just a game with a wizard that its not Simon the Sorcerer.
Anyway. Recommended adventure games?
- The Monkey Island series, if you haven't played it already
- Day of the Tentacle
- The Discworld trilogy (the first two are on the verge of having the source code released to the ScummVM team)
- The Broken Sword series - get the Wii version of the first game if you can, it's much better.
A Vampire Story, Ceville, Ankh 1+2
Actually, it's a spellchecker going bonkers
They're not really adventure games, but have strong elements... especially in how it tells the story. Has some action bits and such, but they're pretty easy.
Really cool and quite original games.
As to other mystery/horror fusions, you can get a literal one from Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened by Frogwares which was basically a crossover between Holmes and the Cthulhu Mythos. Also, if you can wait until next year, Jane Jensen (the lady behind Gabriel Knight) will have a new game out called Gray Matter.
Thirded, quite possibly the best adventure series since Day of the Tentacle.
I still don't see Myst clones or Cryo style games as being mentioned in the same sentence with point and clicks, they should have their own sub categories so as not to confuse others when people say they like adventure games. These first person screen to screen type games tend to be more riddle oriented rather than with item puzzles and are a totally different taste. So if these "adventure" games are more your style then the recommended First Person adventures are not to be missed.
