I enjoyed Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express but I think Gamespot didn't like it. Probably because, I didn't read her novel and I'm surprised of the ending.

So, what's the best adventure game you have ever played?

I would have to say Myst/Uru games,Rhem games and Syberia 1 and 2 games. Enjoyed them all so much.

For me it was The Longest Journey. If Gamespot does not like a game you can usually consider it must be good. When it comes to Adventure games Game spot usually trashes them, appears the joy stick jockeys over there don't like slow thoughtful games. If it does not blowup or kill everything in sight they don't like it.

I have to agree with that.

Monkey Island 2 for me. Here's my Top 50.

Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express could have been a perfect game if not for the repetition.

I read this review and it's enough to convince me it's not for me.



This repetition of going over the same locations and interrogating the suspects again and again does not appeal to me.

I must say the graphics is beautiful and striking.

I wonder if the murder investigation games like Sinking Island and Dead Mountaineer's Hotel will be of the same repetition type.

Yeah, I was very tired of fingerprint and footprint matching. I have to read a walkthrough if I am completely lost. This is the first "large file" adventure game I played.

Lost Crown
Barrow Hill
Scratches
Zillions of others.
Can I say Lost Crown again ?

I'm with you mikeplay. I loved the Myst series and Syberia 1&2.

@IPlayTS3

Don't trust Gamespot. Their reviews especially for adventure games are preposterous!

For me:

a. The Longest Journey

b. Syberia 1,2

c. Still Life (in love with agent McPherson).

My all time personal favorite is Journeyman 3: Legacy of Time.

Runners up:
Black Mirror
Journey To the Center of The Earth
The Watchmaker (yes, I like it.)

It's still Black Mirror for me.

Hi IPlayTS3, and welcome to GameBoomers!

For all the reasons I love (great story, puzzles, funny) and hate (dying, dying, and oh yeah, dying) in an adventure game:

Tex Murphy series is my choice!

Dyl'smom

For me it's got to be The Longest Journey and Syberia 1 & 2.

The Syberia games and all the Myst games

That is a really difficult question for me because i liked many games for various different reasons... I liked Broken Sword (especially the first 2), Syberia, Monkey Island but there are a dozen more in my heart...

It used to be Syberia 1 for its good story, loverly graphics and solverable puzzles but now it would be Lost Crown for the same reasons

Hey IPlayTS3

I have so many games that is my fav. But i think that the best it is:

Syberia 1 and 2
Tex Muprhy Series
Myst Series
Lost Crown
Dark Fall
Scratches
Runaway Series

My favorites: Myst, The Longest Journey and Syberia.

Hi, IPlayTS3!

There are so many favorites that I can't just narrow my choice down to one game. At the top of my list would be Syberia I and II, Shivers 1 and II, as well as the Gabriel Knight and Tex Murphy series. I also loved Still Life, The Black Mirror, NiBiRu, Tunguska and, of course, the Nancy Drew series. I've replayed (and re-enjoyed) all of them several times.

I don't think it's possible to list any single best adventure game I ever played.

Of first person adventures I like AFGNCAAP types -- the first three Myst games, Uru, and the Schizm games for their exotic and beautiful worlds as well as their puzzles. And I like the RHEM games for the puzzles, my favorite of the series being RHEM 2.
(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFGNCAAP for definition and derivation of AFGNCAAP)

Of third person types I like The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango, mainly because the characters came to life for me, which tends to be somewhat rare in games.

Of comic type games I like Day of the Tentacle and Secret of Monkey Island. Day of the Tentacle is probably the funniest game I've ever played.

Hi

Very difficult to choose just one from many years of game playing .... but still an all time favourite for me (and one from my "re-played many times" stack) is Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers

Cheers.

Mad

I agree Mad, very difficult to choose but it is one game I thought of while pondering the thread earlier!

I'll join the Myst lovers, so, Myst 3 Exile is my favourite
