any type of game for me?

ok im looking for a game similar to that of the x files i used to have many moons ago on pc. it was a game where you moved around and examined objects and found clues to continue the storyline. is there anything similar to this nowadays? thanks

As in point and click adventure games? There's quite a few of those around.

yep any you recommend?

Do you want a Sci-Fi theme or any would do? For first I can recommend The Longest Journey along with Dreamfall (sequel).

Monkey Island is fairly definitive, though it'll be much more slapstick than you're used to. Sam & Max is in the same vein - both runs have recent editions on Steam. The Broken Mirror series is also highly recommended, though they're quite dated now, and if you don't mind older games I'd recommend Indiana Jones & The Lost City of Atlantis.

Check out some of the CSI games, they sound fairly similar to what youve described.

try these: http://www.darklingroom.co.uk/

they are ghost/horror based but not really scary.

looking at the x files games i can see its very fmv based so not sure if that matters to you but the actual gameplay is very similar to lost souls although that is quite morbid.

Phoenix Wright on DS is perfect for what you're looking for

Only downside is that you have to have a ds.

i went with Indigo Prophecy from steam and i must say for £6 odd its brilliant. Its a earlier version of heavy rain type feel to it.

blade runner sounds right up your street although its pretty old though.
