My favorite N.D. games so far (I haven't played very much of Crystal Skull so can't say about that) have been:
Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Royal Tower, Secret of the Old Clock and Message in a Haunted Mansion due to the settings. I loved roaming around the old mansions and I loved the history. Followed closely by Secret of the Scarlet Hand.

I must admit that the later games having me do all the chores hasn't been my cup of tea. I have played all except White Wolf which just turned me off with all the chores - if I wanted to clean it would be my house first But I do reserve the right to play the game later.

I have to amend - even though I hated the last 4 NDs, ( and didnt even finish them I was so bored) I keep buying them cause I have a bad case of BAAGS. Got Crystal Skull last Friday and I am almost done. I have to add it to my list of faves!

I really liked Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Crystal Skull and third favorite Royal tower. I didn't care for White wolf at all. I look forward to each game that they make. I prefer the point and click and I don't like the games that pan. I love Sherlock Holmes but the last game had too much panning for my head...LOL
