 | Syberia
Buy used from: $6.25 Fantastic game! Worth every dollar. Graphics, story, characters - everything is first class.
|
 | Syberia 2
Buy used from: $30.00 Marvellous end to a stupendous game. Superlatives cannot do this game justice. BUY! BUY! BUY!
|
 | Paradise
Buy used from: $4.64 By Benoit Sokal of Syberia fame. Now in stores. BEAUTIFUL graphics and cut scenes, good story. Point and click. I had trouble with bugs, others didn't. Fun factor reduced for me.
|
 | The Longest Journey: Adventure Game of the Year Edition
Buy used from: $24.99 Great story line, good puzzles, graphics good, lots of locations, wonderful characters, absorbing - obscene language is a little (okay - a lot) off-putting. "Sequel", Dreamfall, now available.
|
 | Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $6.48 Not a true sequel. Keyboard play bad. One reviewer suggests buying a controller. Might help. A bit disappointing for me. Story, graphics excellent.
|
 | Escape from Monkey Island (Jewel Case)
Buy used from: $8.49 Pure fun! Good for almost everybody. There is a little bit of not so PG language however, so watch out.
|
 | The Curse of Monkey Island
Buy used from: $5.00 Again, pure fun! Great if all you want to do is relax and not think too hard.
|
 | Grim Fandango (Jewel Case)
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $25.99 Excellent keyboard game from LucasArts. If you can get a copy, BUY! Works with Windows 2000 and XP. There was a bit of sexual innuendo/language that may raise a pink flag (not a red one).
|
 | Runaway: A Road Adventure
Buy used from: $6.50 I fully recommend. A fun game, with a sequel to be released in 2006. I will definitely buy that too.
|
 | Black Mirror
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $7.64 A dark game with great atmosphere & excellent mood music. Badly done ending though - many things unexplained. Sad - since so much obviously went into the game.
|
 | Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.80 Older game, but entertaining. Love adventure? Try to find copy. Graphics not good by today's standards, but story excellent & puzzles challenging. I really enjoyed it.
|
 | Journey to the Center of the Earth (Jewel Case)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.94 This game had a LOT of bugs. The story was good, graphics not bad and the cut scenes were awesome - but the bugs make it a no recommend for me.
|
 | Still Life
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $8.99 Pay great heed to the "Mature" rating. Lots of curse words (which I didn't like). The story wasn't bad though.
|
 | Tony Tough And The Night Of Roasted Moths
Buy used from: $12.99 This took me a while to get used to (big and bright and fun-house mirror cartoony) but in the end I really enjoyed it. There is a sequel/prequel due out in 2006.
|
 | Broken Sword: Sleeping Dragon
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $4.50 A good game. Good story. Good acting. Keyboard play, but intuitive so not bad at all. Teen friendly. Another in series due 2006 - will be point-and-click.
|
 | 80 Days: Around the World Adventure
Buy used from: $4.45 Third person game with an 'action' interface; takes getting used to. Makes me a little queasy. Graphics are great. Story is good. Go to www.justadventure.com - the best site on the Web!
|
 | Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $4.38 An enjoyable game. Darkish, not overly so. Too much running around (lacks a 'warp' feature) but will keep you playing anyway. My version came with a book with the original tale. Very cool.
|
 | Ankh
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $6.50 I liked this. Funny. Light. Voice acting pretty good. I recommend this.
|
 | Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure
Buy used from: $3.99 FUN game. Monkey-islandish. Classic point-and-click. Puzzles logical (easy) & story driven. Mini-games easy with good hand-eye coordination. Main complaint-getting carrots tedious. Overall - fun buy.
|
 | Keepsake
Buy new: $4.65 / Used from: $7.95 Classic point-and-click (YAY!). Dragons and magic (bliss). Built-in hint system (excellent). Great graphics. Voice-acting bad (bummer). Overall: game, 4 of 5; fun factor, 4 of 5. I liked it.
|
 | Bone Volume 1: Out From Boneville by Jeff Smith
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.56 PC game of book available ONLY at www.telltalegames.com. Get download or disk. Short, cartoony, funny. Very entertaining. Built-in hint system. Play as more than one character. Great script.
|
 | Bone Volume 2: The Great Cow Race SC by Jeff Smith
Buy used from: $3.97 2nd instalment of PC game of book now available ONLY at www.telltalegames.com. Get download or disk. Even better than first. Longer. Favourite characters back. Built-in hint system. Fun.
|
 | Moment Of Silence
Buy used from: $8.95 Starts out well then slows. Still, kept me interested but not in a 'can't stop playing' way. Recommendation: wait for price to drop then definitely take a pass at it.
|
 | Agatha Christie : Murder on the Orient Express
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $6.99 Great game-one of the best this year. Great script. Great actors. Great graphics. Did I mention it was great?
