I want to purchase a new game but not sure what's good out there. Can someone recommend some? I really liked Still Life 2 style, Gabriel Knight (old I know, but great).

Hi Josee~
You're sure to get plenty of suggestions, but have you tried the "GameBoomers Reviews" and "Latest & Upcoming" links (top of the page)? I especially like to see screenshots, find out what the gameplay will be like, and see the grades they get.

The Black Mirror 2 was a good play - and the best part is the 3rd installment is just around the corner

Josee, a game called Gray Matter will (hopefully) be out in late October/early November. It is a new adventure game by Jane Jensen, who is the author of the Gabriel Knight games.

I enjoyed the two recent Art of Murder adventures - Hunt for the Puppeteer and
Cards of Destiny

I haven't yet played the The Tree of Life from the Chronicles of Mystery series but I DID like its predecessor - The Scorpio Ritual

And I also haven't yet played Lost Horizon but that is certainly getting very good reports

I am playing Film Maker, and its going to my top five games list, I loved whisper world also..

Hi Josee, I would recommend any of the Art of Murder Games & also any of The Chronicle of Mystery Games. There's no great innovation in them - they are just no nonsense good solid adventures with good stories which I found very enjoyable!


Posted & saw afterwards that you suggested in the same direction Mad!

Josee,

I think the suggestions of the Black Mirror games is a good one. venus has a great suggestion about Gray Matter since you are a Gabriel Knight.

Josee, I haven't quite finished Broken Mirror: Shadow of the Templars, Director's Cut yet but I've had a ball playing this game. I highly recommend it, especially since InlandAZ has already beaten me to Black Mirror 2. <g>

Btw, have you been to GOG.com and looked at their old, refurbished and DRM free adventure games? They've got goodies like Sanitarium and King's Quest 6 for download at really good prices.

Thanks for all these great recommendations! I'm going online to buy some now.

Traveler: I did browse the GoG site for games and you're right, they are really good prices but unfortunately most are for Windows XP or Vista only and not for Windows 7.

Is Filmmaker available for download purchase, does anyone know and aside from EB Games and Adventure Shop US and Gog.com, are there any other good sites to purchase downloadable games at good price?

Josee,

So far, I've bought and played Sanitarium, Gabriel Knight 1, King's Quest 6 and one other that I didn't like from GOG. All did fine on Windows 7.

Gil.

I recommend BigFish. Can't beat the price!

Hi Josee

Irrespective of which version bought from where, the very first thread on the Glitches, Bugs & Patches Board is dedicated to games and Windows 7 compatability.

Cheers.

Mad

Josee - I have played many many games as I am sure the nice folks on this site have too. As an adventure gamer from the Leisure Suit Larry days - I have gone to lengths to find good games. I have a couple suggestions for you..

1) Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman Mine - The narrator in the game and the situations will make you laugh aloud.

2) So Blonde - at first I said "nah" but I could not stop playing it when I got it. Great puzzles and a fun story.

These are just 2 of the last ones I recently played - they will be very memorable to me.

Sureshot, I loved So Blonde. Great game.
