No it hasn't

Looks like there are going to be quite a lot of adventure releases in 07. Hope this genre comes back!

Indeed

Runaway 2 looks especially good, check out the awesome trailer.

ah yeah I saw that trailer a few days ago, the graphics/gameplay on that look really different. Be interesting to know how that plays. I love the good ol' point and clickers.

Anyone played the two agatha christie games that were released this year? They are mint!

surprised no one has mentioned Tomb Raider. Awesome adventure game

That's a platform/jumper/shooter, not adventure.

never heard of runaway- might check it out

DAMN YOU PEOPLE. Stop complaining about the lack of new adventure games and blatantly ignoring Sam and Max! Next episode is due out on the 5th of January.

Both episodes have been highly rated by all review sites and magazines and it is awesome.

BUY IT.

Adventure being point 'n' click? Aah so many! By far my favourite platform. I think the best were all on the amiga. I've always had a soft spot for the Larry series, 6 being my fave. (or was it 5? where he's in the Hotel) Zak mckraken and the alien mindbenders was also a fave, dread to think what the graphics are like now though!!
I can't really name a best so I'll do a list of my faves

Loom
Zak mcraken
Broken sword 1/2 (but didn't like the 3d one)
Leisure suit series
Monkey island
Hook
Day of the tentacle (Look hoagie it's a hamster!!)

Is there any decent point 'n' clicks available now? I want them in 2D dammit!!

edit - reading through the other posts now it's basically the same as my list! Good to think we were all enjoying these classics!!

Hmm I suppose it's how you define adventure game...

I loved:

Zak McKracken (C64 originally then Amiga - great fun!)
Monkey Island Series
DarkSeed
Universe
Indiana Jones
Day Of The Tentacle
LBA 2 (1 was okay but 2 was excellent)

Sure theres some out there I've missed...

Played most of those on the Amiga. 'Cruise for a Corpse' was another.

Its OK, I think 1+2 and 3 were so good though the last one was the worst in the series

4? Nah.

1 and 2 were the best and 3 was decent

What are some decent ones that are more recent?

I played Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and loved it. Excellent game.
