Also, only 6 games out of the ones you listed go above 8.5/10, one even got a 4/10, these games span nearly a decade. Not even close to 10+ great games per year.
As this is probably tiring most thread readers, in order to stop using numbers out of your head I list IGN reviews for the games you cited:
Barrow Hill: 8.1/10
Dark Fall: 7.8/10
The Lost Crown: 7/10
Diamonds in the Rough: 6/10 (adventure games, ign didnt have a review)
* - TLJ: 9.3/10
Myst III: 8/10
Still Life: 6.7/10 (gamespot, couldn't find an IGN review) or even worse 5/10 from eurogamer.
Return to Mysterious Island: 7.3/10 (gamespot, couldn't find an IGN review)
The secrets of Da Vinci: 7.1/10
Last half of darkness : 1989 & 2000
Black Mirror : 7.2/10
Dark Fall 2: 6.3/10 (from gamespot couldnt find an IGN review)
Sam and Max series: 7.1/10 S1 ign review (Wii) and 8.1/10 S2
RHEM 1-3: RHEM 3 received 6.5/10

Schizm 1-2: couldn't spot reviews from legitimate sources.
Regarding WoW, I have to be honest and say I don't believe you ever run endgame content, it is clear form what you write. Also Asheron's Call wasn't even half as successful WoW is thanks to the 10-11 million(!) (unintelligent by your standards I presume) subscribers Blizzard has. Also spiderweb 60mb games cost more than Oblivion does in amazon.com, this makes it an easy choice for most people.
10+ great games per year, WoW a regression and 60 mb games > Mass Effect & Oblivion is far from what numbers point out. I'd be thankful if you had something to back up your statements, else I will have to reach the conclusion that you are just trying to troll the thread.

Explain "60 mb games > Mass Effect & Oblivion". Size of a game means a better game???? Since when? I'm pretty Sure Monkey Island 2 was quite small...
How about actually refuting my criticism of WOW.
Sales numbers mean greatness?
IGN, a hype, big money lapping review site, used as a bar none representation of the state of adventure gaming as a whole? Doom 3 got a 9.0 there. How can any adventure game compete with the perfection that is Doom 3?
Then you accuse me of trolling?
I'll repeat again. If sales and ability to be meanstream mean anything, then I should have to start catching up with greatness! American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Harry Potter, Dan Brown, Brittany Spears, designer clothing, and sports watching.
I thought you were out for a serious discussion. My mistake. I'll stay away.
