There's also that modern Dreamfall: The Longest Journey game, although I coudln't get into it.

good game but had the most intensely disappointing, cliffhanger-ey nothing-gets-resolved ending in the history of gaming. Made ten times worse by the fact that it looks like the next installment will never get made.

well if you are one of those people whose game is ruined if the ending isnt great then dont get Fahrenheit.

cheers, was thinking about it but not so much now. With dreamfall it was like reading a really engrossing book, only to find the last 20 pages have been ripped out never to be found again....

Well the game was made in 2006 and theres been no announcements or news or anything about a sequel. There were rumours that they would continue it as episodic chapters, but this was back in early 2007 and nothing has been mentioned since.

I wouldnt hold my breath

uhh on the other hand...whilst i think the ending in Fahrenheit is crap there are some "merits" to it... if i say anymore its spoilerish.

and uhmm im nearly finished TLG so will be starting Dreamfall soon (bought it before TLG) the ending cant be soo bad to not play the game surely :confused:

Dreamfall really is great - although slightly less so if you play for the puzzles more than the story.
I'm pretty confident part 2 will come out eventually, they've been working on Conan mainly because I guess it might actually make some money, although personally I couldn't care less about any mmo in existance. Dreamfall chapters is still on as far as I know, remember it took 6 years to get a sequel to the first game.

I remember enjoying Lure of the Temptress as well.

SkeeterUK · 28 May 2008 at 11:56

My favs are

Syberia 1 and 2
The longest journey (not the dreamfall rubbish)
Grim Fandango tho not technically point and click.
Monkey island games
Simon the sorcerer 1-4
Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis.
Lure of the Temptress
Broken Sword series.
CSI 1 and 2 were fun.
Gabriel Knight 3 tho i hear 2 and 1 are excellent also.
DiscWorld 2 (demo for psx i liked never really played the full version as start was VERY long winded.
The moment of silence is a nice sci fi game.
Tex Murphy games (under a killing moon was awesome)

Many more here.

Dreamfall will continue in episodic format similar to sam and max games. Dunno when tho.
