Adventure Games Help?

I'm a massive fan of adventure games!

Lucasarts games like Grim Fandango and Indiana Jones are fantastic and i was very disappointed to see the decline of these games in recent times.

I know there are still some quality adventure titles coming out such as Broken Sword and Runaway, but i've slighty lost myself in the whole advenutre scene.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any really good adventure games out now or upcoming?

If you haven't played them, Sam and Max season 1 and 2 are both awesome, and upcoming is A Vampyre Story (by some former LucasArts types) and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.

I'm also keeping an eye on So Blonde, but it seems to be in limbo right now.

believe it or not even though i'm a massive adventure fan, i never liked the Myst games!

a lot of people call me mad for that but i don't know, theres just something about them i don't really like!

A Vampyre Story does look interesting, I just hope they get some updated info for it soon.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Ive looked into all the games mentioned and i have to say Vampyre Story looks very intresting indeed!

I had the old Sam and Max game on Scummv but as i said i lost touch with the whole adventure scene and never even knew of the sequels! :(

I heard from a friend they are only available on download and in episodes?!

Is there a CD Version available and if so does it contain the whole season or like i said is it in episodes?

Thanks

Season 1 is available on disc at the moment. It's fair to assume that Season 2 will be available on disc at some point, too. Both Seasons 1 and 2 (as well as all the individual episodes) are available through Steam, the Telltale store and I think they're on Gametap, too.

If you want to try before you buy, Episode 4 of Season 1 is available as a free download - sort of like a demo, only it's a three hour long demo!

As for them being episodic, yes. Each Season contains five episodes that last between two and four hours. Each episode is a standalone story, but there is also an overarching storyline to tie everything together - so while you may be playing five different episodes, they are really like five chapters of a book rather than five separate games.

You might be interested to know that Season 3 has already been confirmed.
