zack and wiki was a really good point and click game, wish it would have sold more so we could get a sequel

just like all games people need to buy them so we can get more (and sequels)

you can die in Kings Quest 6 lol.. its a shame that today the average game only cares about action

Don't know. What happened to shooters where you have to think? What happened to RPG's with depth? Things aren't what they used to be, we just have to deal with it. It is a shame though, some of the most memorable games I ever played were point & click style adventure games.

i'm thinking about looking into Broken Sword, i think you can buy it cheap now anyway

i like them and can also play them on my laptop

i bought dreamfall a while ago which had the longest journey in the pack too,great stuff

i played secret files 2,hilarious that is and i have sherlock holmes nemesis,i also bought an old broken sword for £1 in a second hand shop the angel of death,

thanks for those lists guys very useful i like the look of some of those games,

an agatha christie was supposed to be coming fir the ps3 but seems to have disappered,shame i would have bought it

My favorites was the old Sierra games (Quest for Glory). Was point and click, but you fought and leveled up your character and saved that character for the next game with your stats.

You mean the adventure genre?  My take is that the adventure genre started out with text adventures, and then along came graphic adventures.  Once that happened, they merged with the action game genre and became the action-adventure genre.  Since then, most action games will have some puzzle elements and this is a nod to adventure games.  In short, the genre merged with action titles to become what we think of as major videogame titles today.

While not technically point and click, Heavy Rain is very similar to them.

I agree with everyone telling you that Zack and Wiki is a great game. 

I loved it.  Actually having to think is rare in games today.
