Hi action9026 If you liked 'TLJ' and 'Dreamfall' maybe 'The Sacred Rings' is a game to suggest. That has several area's to explore, puzzles and it looks quite beautiful. If you love to see much more of these type of games which are not finished the same day you started it, so do I.

I'm not really sure what you're looking for, since you've made a category with TLJ and Dreamfall but Syberia doesn't fit it. Have you played Keepsake? Since you don't mind some action, how about Beyond Good and Evil? Zanzarah?

I am not sure either just what kind of games you are looking for. If you have read and liked the Anne McCaffrey Dragonrider series (15 or more?) then you might like to try the Dragonriders of Pern - a bit of action in it, since I love the Dragonrider books I loved the game too. Love, Betty Lou

Yeah, that (adding Myst to the mix) kind of threw me too in trying to determine what action9026 might like.

There's plenty of variety out there, get yourself to Fry's Electronics store. There's so many genres there you can go blind.

Ah, lighthearted, that makes this just fun. But how can you post a thread like this without expecting to get suggestions from all us fun gaming people? And I have another one, or perhaps a question for you - did you play Around The World in 80 Days? If so did you like it, did you have FUN? I did, and have played it again and again about 4 or 5 times. May pull it out again soon and replay it again...just a FUN game with some puzzles - don't know if you could say any of my suggestions are made for males or females, that doesn't seem to 'lean' me towards or away from any specific games. Have fun! Have a great day too. Love, BEtty Lou

Ok I'm a bit slow.
But I *am* playing Post Mortem and almost put my fist through the monitor because the doorman wouldn't recognize my sketch of the suspect for the bazillionth time.

Action, you know what would dramatically increase your gaming choices? Consider purchasing a console of some kind. XBox 360, PS2 or 3, PSP, Gameboy DS, whatever. There's a huge amount of creativity going on in the console world right now.
Example: Kameo on the 360. This is an incredibly beautiful game set in a high fantasy environment. You play a young fairy girl who's trying to save her world from evil orcs. The cool gimmick of the game is that you learn to transform into ten different creatures, each of which has its own set of physical skills. So while the game is filled with combat (really fun combat) it's also tactical because you're constantly having to ask yourself: who do I turn into now? What will get me past this obstacle.
Then there's Okami for the PS2, one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen.
And let's not forget Resident Evil 4, now available on virtually all platforms. I don't even LIKE Resident Evil, but they completely reinvented the franchise with this game, and it's simply brilliant.
Procrastinate NOW!! Don't put it off!!

Well, one thing I can say for myself. I prefer point & click games. I absolutly HATE keyboard controls. When I'm looking for a game, I try to findout all I can about the controls, first, then the ratings. I like puzzles , but hate RPG's. I like being a detective, but hate inventory based puzzles.I think the game I did like the most this year playing even though I am going back on what I just said, is Return to Mysterious Island. It had a lot of inventory based games, but, they were tolerable and easy to do. The game had a great story, was fun, great graphics. I hate games termed as adventure games when they should be classed as action/adventure because I hate things you need to shoot, only because they are usually and I mean usually KEYBOARD CONTROL, which as stated earlier I HATE. I thought OH! everyone is buying or looking for Destination Treasure Island. Well, in I jumped both feet. Played part of it, Hated it, sold it.Now, I loved Dracula Resurrection & Dracula The Last Sanctuary. Hence I have played a few more of the older games this year simply for that fact. POINT & CLICK like the good old days.
yes MAD " LIKE THE PAINTING PUZZLE> " LOL

I must admit that the title of this thread shocks me. I would never really argue with anyone here, but according to my list of "Games I must have" and to my credit card statements, there are lots of new game out there that I need. I'm slowly, but joyously, going broke just acquiring new ones.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

I agree with you Haze. Even in games I find I don't particularly like, I am never bored and want to see what is around that next corner, just like real life. But that's just me, nothing against anyone that doesn't feel the same way.
