http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/01/10/ten-indie-games-to-look-for-in-2011/I see Diehard GameFAN come up in the forums here every so often (Still Life, Tomb of Zojir, etc.) and today they did an article called "Ten Indie Games to Look For in 2011." Since all but one (Hyperdimension Neptuna) are adventure games, I thought I'd share the link.
The Adventure games listed are:
Alpha Polaris
Asylum
Baron Wittard

The Last Crown
A New Beginning

Secret Files 2 (US version)
