So, adventure games.
PC or Console, they are some of the most treasured games of all time for some of us.
And recently there has been a revival of sorts with:
Apparently its all your fault that this didn't succeed in the market, you should be ashamed and purchase two copies.
Adventure game? Lawyer game? Does it matter?
Annnnd yes, Sam and Max.
*edit: and my images dont work. Awesome.
*edit2: Hmmm did that work?
Whats on the horizon for the genre? I rarely follow with whats coming down the gaming pipeline aside from what I read on this forum at times.
Is there anything for adventure games coming down the pipe that are worth pining over?
Or just feel free to talk about your favorite games in the Genre.
And yes, this is a blatant attempt to bring my Santee out of the woodwork.

Seriously though, ridiculous E306 trailer aside, I really want Heavy Rain.
I'm sad that I'll probably never get a chance to play this. It does look pretty amazing.
Also, I own every game in the OP. Can't blame me for the lack of financial success.
This should be out this December:
i dont know much about it other than its an adenture game as its been mentioned around here afew times. i will definately pick it up once it has been released though as im a sucker for the genre.
EDIT:damn you elkatas!
Heh, echo. Anyways, Vampyre Story has team that has worked on such classic masterpieces as Curse of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and The Dig.
As far as stuff that's coming up:
Again: Eye of Providence (DS)
From CING, makers of Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory. This looks so freaking cool. Apparently, it's an adventure game where the hook is that the main character has the ability to look back in time; when you play, you hold the DS book-style (like Hotel Dusk), and one screen is your location in the present, while the other is the same location just 17 years in the past.
I KISS YOU!
As for future adventure stuff, Telltale (the new Sam & Max and the Strong Bad people) are producing an episodic Wallace and Gromit adventure series.
Cracking news eh?
I have to complain about the "next-gen" browndark look to it though, as it makes it difficult to see items at times...

They are creepy as hell, and have a great physics/interaction system.
I need to finish the one I am on, so I can review it.
ALL MY DICKS.
Seriously those screenshots look fucking awesome. PC only eh?
Pretty damn good actually. The first one has some bad sound quality though, and the second one's ending is a little weak. But other than that, fun times. I laughed out loud. Indeed.
Me neither, and now I want too!

as I stood there alone,
and I thought to myself, how the moon
each night cast its light
on my heart's true delight
and the reef where her body was strewn.
Season 2 was much, much better than Season 1.
Vampyre Story looks pretty good. I thought it was going to be all hand drawn, like Curse of Monkey Island, but it looks like part rendered/part handrawn.
It was, but I guess it was too expensive to animate characters smoothly. All characters are now made of polygons, but backgrounds are still handmade.

So far the Strong Bad games are pretty fun but it doesn't seem like they have all that many places to go with the game. And having only a handful of locations can make it seem stale. But whatever, I will keep with it because of Telltale's strong (eventual) showing in S&M.
I didn't get on with any of that Sierra bullshit though. Death? Numerous possibilities to unknowingly screw youself over with an incorrect or missed action? No thank you sir.
Other notable mentions being Toonstruck with Christopher Lloyd and Broken Sword 1 and 2. 3 not so good and 4 had issues with my graphics card.
I've not really looked into anything more modern apart from the telltale stuff. I should start taking notes from the thread.
On topic: I still haven't finished Syberia or The Longest Journey...

I loved Syberia until I got about halfway through and for some reason just never picked it up again... maybe I should at least play it through. TLJ I just got overwhelmed with some RL issues and didn't end up getting past the 3rd hour probably.
It is a relatively new kids show on Cartoon Network, so depending on where you are from I don't know if you will ever see it. The show is one of those adult/kid hybrids that gives a few good laughs to all ages I think.
