Hi to all,

I have found many threads on this forum about people looking for

places to buy adventure games.

Have you ever heard the adventure shop?

This place is dedicated to digital distribution of adventure games.

I plan to buy the new "Nikopol (something) of the Immortals" after

playing the demo. Very impressed.

I'm back into these games because I miss good stories, solving puzzles

(even if they are too obscure and difficult) and voice actors. I miss

this stuff! I also need a break from all the action gaming I do.

I also want to get The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. Then the Syberia

series.

I never played Myst series. At that time in my life I was heavily into

action games.

Should I pickup the Myst series? Or is it graphically outdated to

enjoy compared to the games listed above?

Any other adventure games out there that are fairly recent??

I notice there are a lot of episodes. Is each episode short and only

takes a couple days to finish? Or is each episode a full length game?

Is Vampire Requiem worth a play? Once I finish Bloodlines I'll most

likely check it out.

Any other horror games like these worth checking out? (besides Cthulhu

Dark Corners of the Earth)

Painkiller (& expansion pack)

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines

KOTOR 1 & 2

The Witcher (Enhanced Edition)

I tried Oblivion, but could not stand how everything had that shiny,

wet plastic look.

Are Specular Highlights the culprit?

When I played Stalker on full dynamic lighting, i loved that game -

models, buildings, etc., everything looked normal and realistic. Same

with many other games.

If it's not Specular Highlights but something else, can it be turned

off?

And why is this implemented in the first place? It's a real turn off

for me.

Well the graphics are great, but it's another Point & Click pixel

hunter.

Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and Sam & Max are all classic point &

click adventure games in the same vein as the 'all those classics' you

mentioned above. Great stuff but you may have problems running them on

modern hardware. Heck, I remember problems running FT back when it was

new. ­

I found the game a bit confusing about where you were supposed to go

and what to do. The first two games in the series flowed along much

better. You shouldl try to get the first two games. IMO, they were

much better than Kyrandia 3.

Anybody playing this one yet to give us some initial impressions, not

sure whether it's out in the US yet.
