Adventure Games?

Hi there.

I was just looking through a list of a games due for release in 2009, here, http://adrianwerner.wordpress.com/games-of-2009/ , and some of the screenshots of the adventure games look, believe it or not, pretty cool to me!?

I pretty much only play first person shooters, such as Insurgency, Red Orchestra etc and would never touch a game like world of warcraft. However, while looking at some of the games on that website such as Treasure Island, it reminded me of when I used to have Guybrush Threepwood:The Curse of Monkey Island (2D) and Guybrush Threepwood:Escape from Monkey Island (3D) when I was younger, and how enjoyable they were!!

I loved the storylines, the challenges I was faced and having to figure stuff out and the general nature of the games I suppose. I was younger at the time, but wouldn't mind giving a decent adventure game a blast.

So basically I was hoping some of you might be able to point me in the right direction? Bearing in mind those Guybrush Threepwood games were realeased in 1999 & 2000 I can imagine i've probably missed some good ones

Cheers, Borgia

Cool, I'll have a look into those.

Any others I should look out for?

Hey thanks for all the replies.

Um, I downloaded the demo of Ceville on steam. Its exactly how I remembered Guybrush Threepwood to be. Trouble is, I'm older now and it seemed pretty childish? As in the story. Also, I can't believe how dated the graphics are for a new game?!

Was kind of after somthing which has maybe abit more depth to it, and which is maybe targeted at a more adult audience. Somthing set in modern times, and possibly with a believable storyline?

That Dreamfall looks ok, but I'm really not into the fantasy genre.

Fairplay though, from the amount of titles you've all named, about 95% of them aren't even from this decade. And this decade is nearly over!!!

Maybe I'm asking too much, Lol.

Right now I'm playing Perry Rhodan (which was recommended to me by someone on these forums). It's a fairly recent sci-fi adventure based on the Perry Rhodan books published in Germany in the 60s. I had never really played point-and-click adventure style games before either, but I'm enjoying it so far, give it a go

Thanks. Quite like the look of that actually.

Sorry Montegue, was writing my last post when you must have posted that. Some of those look pretty good too
