Lots of PC games I played in the last 2 years which most members of this site have never heard of, e.g.

Gemini Rue, Ceville, The Whispered World, A New Beginning, Lost Horizon, Patrician IV, Runaway: A Twist of Fate, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, Drakensang: The Dark Eye, Anno 1404, The Book of Unwritten Tales.

Very interesting post.

I'm a sucker for those kinds of adventure games, thanks for this post. (the Whispered World looks awesome!)

Whats the best out of the games you listed and is Anno 1404 for much more different than the DS version?

Most charming, most beautiful (despite all its flaws like the walking animations): The Whispered World.

Best: Probably A New Beginning which will be released in English soon. Gemini Rue is one of the best indie adventure games I played. The Book of Unwritten Tales was great as well, but it seems this one will never be released in English.

To be honest, I'm very forgiving when it comes to point&click adventure games. None of the modern ones come close to my favourite ones from LucasArts (the big 6: Monkey Island 1/2/3, Grim Fandango, Day of  the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis)  or The Longest Journey or Broken Sword 1, but some of them are very good imo.

The two Anno games for DS are great (probably the best DS ports of a PC franchise along with Age of Empires), but there's two reasons I'll aways prefer the PC version: On PC it has more depth and It looks great.
