So... Best point an click game... What is it?

So i've re-bought broken sword for the DS because i don't remember anything from the PS1 version. And all i have to say is wow, this is such an awesome title and it has aged very well! I've came to the conclusion that point and click is probably one of my favorite genres in the gaming industry simply because it has a different type of storyline, along with the fact that it's still a pretty intense genre despite it's slow-pace character. So i want to to know what's the best point and click game IYO.

The Curse of Monkey Island or Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. Both are at the pinnacle of the genre.

Bingo. Schafer's work is unmatched, imo.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (DS),Grim Fandango (PC),Sam & Max (the whole damn series PC)

Grim Fandango takes the cake for me.

I clicked on this expecting to say Diablo 2, but then realized you was talking DS. While I do have a DS, I can't really help with what you ask.

I wonder how the Wii version of Broken Sword is holding up? Do you know if it's much different then the ds version? I'm thinking of picking this game up soon actually.

point and click adventures are so much fun. It's not my favourite genre, and there are some classics i haven't been exposed to.. but the ones i've played have been excellent.
I loved hotel dusk and zack and wiki, both are excellent games! Of course neither are good enough to be considered among grim fandango, day of the tentacle and so on.. i just think they both are really unique and deserve to be recognised.

Anyways.. i suppose i'd have to go with Grim Fandango for the best. But, like i said above, there are some good ones i've not played(monkey island for instance)

no please explain. because in tower defense you point to a spot on a grid and click to place a tower.

My top favorites are The Neverhood, Myst IV, and Shivers (So underrated. Shame I didn't played the sequel).

As for best, I guess the Neverhood. I need to play it again lol.

then riven gets my vote.

Nothing can beat The Curse of Monkey Island.

There are thesethreegames, but the first two are kind of campy and the third one isn't very good.

Shadow of the Comet and The Awakened weren't too bad, imo (Shadow being the better of the two). The first Alone in the Dark game is also heavily based on the Cthulhu mythos, but that's more of a survival horror game than a traditional adventure game.

Hm, anyway, I'd say that Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is definitely the best game in the genre, although Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers deserves an honourable mention (it's the best 'serious' adventure game, anyway).
