Really sad that they became less popular, i've had a lot of fun with Point and click. Really looking foward to Gray Matter, and if it's a success maybe Jensen will try to get Gabriel Knight 4 made

p&c threads always go the wrongest direction possible on this site. Always.

They have lived on through the occasional dl title.

I think it comes down to controls. When point and click games were good keyboard and mouse controls weren't as precise for moving around an enviroment. I could be wrong. But I think the same applies to iOS devices. The pointing is natural and easy, but moving in a 3d space is still awkard for some people with the other control options they have.

I liked them even better when you could still talk to the characters by typing full sentences. Starship titanic was one of the last great ones where you could have a conversation without sticking a few commands together. It was great fun typing in different things to see what the developers had thought of. A choice of 3 canned responses in 'conversations'  is just not the same.

Maybe the language parser and adventure games in general will get a revival when speech recognition starts working. The adventure game genre lost a lot of charm when it became only point and click. Being actually able to talk to onscreen characters and get meaningful replies is the next big step in gaming imo.

Looking forward to Syberia 3 anyway, expected 2011 tba. (missed its 2010 release date)

I seem to remember plenty getting released recently, or maybe they were just re-releases on steam or something 

My sig and ava say hi.

I miss them, I remember Clock Tower was one of the greatest point and click games ever

Though both for PC...Black Mirror 2 is already available in Australia and Gray Matter should be released in March 2011.

You guys are out of touch, point & click adventure games are having a renaissance on PC, with more great titles coming out now than in the past 10 years.

The problem is that since the big game websites ignore adventure games and indie games, there's a wide perception that the genre is dying rather than growing.
