8. A Tale of Two Kingdoms - Haven't played this yet but I will add it to my list of games to try
7. Earl Mansin: The Breakout - Looks a little bizarre but someday I'll give it a try
6. Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars - I installed this game on a machine running Windows XP several months ago but it appeared shifted to the right on my screen. The left half of my monitor was solid black and on the left half of the game appeared on the right side of my monitor. Without being able to see half of the screen I couldn't make it through the opening video before giving up on this game. Perhaps I'll give it another try on a different machine but I'm not holding my breath about it working.
5. What Makes You Tick? - I really enjoyed playing this great looking adventure and I highly recommend it to fans of the point-and-click style adventure game. The artwork is fantastic, the settings are dark and mysterious, the game play did leave me a bit confused on a few occasions but only twice did I have to resort to a walkthru to get me past things I never would have done without cheating. Oh and the characters were intriguing and well written.
4. Fate by Numbers - This is a really cool use of live action video in the adventure genre that shows the way forward for future adventure game makers. Unfortunately, I and several other players have noted that the game comes to abrupt halt right in the middle of the action when you simply can't move on to the next part. I'm hoping that a patch or better yet an updated version is released soon.
3. The White Chamber - I played part of this game and found it sort of overwhelming in terms of the size of the area in which you as the player can explore. Right about the time I thought I was getting the hang of playing (although I was still sort of lost in terms of where the hell I was in reference to where I started the adventure) I opened a door and was sucked out into space. This game has a lot going for it but I'm not sure I want to make the time commitment necessary to finish this game.
2. Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! - The style of the graphics in this game just don't do it for me. I don't think I can take this seriously.
1. Dirty Split - I'm still in the middle of playing this game. At the moment, I'm stuck in the police station.
