I really prefer to play Adventure games in the 3rd Person (1st person either leaves me feeling a bit seasick or rather lonely), but it is not always easy to find out which ones are which.

I have already played (and loved) TLJ, Syberia, and Broken Sword I-III, and have just ordered Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Any other suggestions? (Not too old as I'm running XP).

I'm not too keen on very gloomy games - prefer lush,colourful backdrops.

Check this out: 3rd Person Adventures

Hi murraymint11!
Cameron Files 1 and 2 are my favorites, especially if you already played Syberia 1 and 2!
Just a suggestion!

Fantastic InlandAZ!! Just what I wanted. Thanks.

That's great InlandAZ! Where do you find all these sites from?

I wish the Nancy Drew games were 3rd person adventure games. After playing them all ya kind feel like you know her... except what she looks like!
Oh well. I still LOVE those games no matter what!!

Them and both of the Dark Fall games. My daughter is starting to really like the N.Drew games too.

I'm surprised that my son likes the Nancy Drew games
too. He's a bit of a Jr. Sleuth!
It will be really neat if the Hardy Boys come out with their own PC games. I Know he would love those.
So would I! Especially ifthey play the same way as the Nancy Drews do. Lots to look forward to!

Murraymint,
I enjoyed The Dig and The Feeble Files, but I don't know if they run on XP.

I just signed in again and this is the first post I went to. All I can say is YAHOO!!!

BilBoard sized DITTO!!!!!

I'm pretty mean Google'r -

I guess when you ask the right questions, you get the right answers.

Try Nightlong,union city conspiracy.
I think this game is often over looked by new players.This [in my opinion] is a great game....

Yes, Nightlong is a game worth playing for sure. I just replayed Noctropolis and City of the Lost Children a few weeks back, I really enjoyed those as well.

There are quite a number of good ones out there - Rex Nebular, Kyrandia, Dark Seed, Blade Runner etc...

You're so right, ron.etti, and I wonder why that is. Maybe the box art makes people think it is an action game. I really enjoyed it too.

Murraymint11, to Gameboomers! Have you played The Neverhood, Crystal Skull, Grim Fandango and the Discworld games?
For brand new, I really enjoyed The Moment of Silence, as I prefer third person games myself.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Here are the games I have chosen to play next:

Syberia II
Runaway - Road to Adventure
Grim Fandango
Black Mirror

and
Dreamfall (when it gets released)

Play Syberia 2 first, you won't regret it!!

Nah. Play Grim Fandango as soon as possible.

Buy 4 computers and play them all simultaniously

Thanks for the link. See that, You are now a star!
