My personal favorites are Sam & Max SE2, SBCG4AP, Hector and the first Puzzle Agent. ToMI, Wallace and Gromit and the other seasons of Sam & Max are pretty good too. Bone is also good, but felt a bit unsatisfactory to me since it's not a complete story.
I'll repost what I posted in a favorite game thread:
My absolute favorite is Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures. It captures the essence of the Wallace & Gromit shorts perfectly, the puzzles are fun (the final boss puzzles at the end are a blast), and the music is excellent (it's kicked up a notch here from their earlier releases, as Andrew Langley wrote code for the Telltale Tool to allow dynamically changing music (similar to iMuse).
My close second is Tales of Monkey Island. Like Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, the puzzles are fun (and the boss puzzle at the end of the last episode is really memorable). This one doesn't take the top spot for me, since it takes a while to hit its stride (the reuse of character models is really evident in the first few episodes and the locations are a bit sparse at times). But, the first episode is excellent, and the last three episodes are just as excellent (if not more so than the first).
The third choice is a little harder, so I'll just recommend some of my favorites. If you like quirky comedy, definitely give Sam & Max a try. Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space is my personal favorite (because of the great puzzles), but Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse has the best plot of the three seasons (and the use of psychic toys makes for some really funny jokes). I also recommend the Puzzle Agent games, because the style is so creepy but appealing (check out the Grickle shorts this game is based on to see if this style is your cup of tea). The Back to the Future games also had a great story (they were a bit uneven, puzzle wise, but the story is great (plus they got Christopher Lloyd to return as Doc, and AJ Locascio is almost a perfect Marty, plus Michael J Fox returned as a McFly ancestor in the last episode). I also really liked Jurassic Park (note that this one is almost all quick time events, so if you didn't like those in The Walking Dead, you won't like this, but if you did you'll probably like it). It tells the story of what happened to the dinosaur embryos in the first movie, and the story is pretty well done (I haven't been disappointed by a story in a Telltale game yet).
As for Law and Order, I did like them. The voice acting is a bit hit and miss though. All of the voices sound good, but if you're a fan of the shows, you'll notice that the voice actors can sound off from the original actors they're trying to imitate. The storylines are all really good though (and match with the older Telltale style of having all of the episodes independent of each other, but having an interconnecting theme that is tied into all of the other episodes and wrapped up in the last episode). It feels like a Law and Order episode, with you investigating the scene as the police for the first part, and then trying the case in the last. As for the gameplay, you click on objects at the crime scene, interrogate witnesses through dialog trees, and then try those people in court with dialog trees as well (you are given a certain amount of stars per case based on whether you choose the right dialog for each scene, and there are "red herrings" (things that seem like they lead to something but don't really mean anything) to be found during interrogations that often lead to humorous scenes where your partner is wondering where you are going with your questioning. If you don't mind casual gameplay and like Law and Order, you'll most likely like it.
Thanks
