Just want folks to know that I'm do like AG's. I keep trying new ones but it seems every time I do, I'm disappointed in one way or the other. Bad animations, voice acting, or just plain silliness the plots take by the end.

My main gripe with AG's however are the convoluted puzzles. You still see obscure puzzles in almost every AG (at least that I've played), that have very little to do with the story in the game, and only seem to be there to extend the games length.

I'm quite sick of all the shooters that have come out as well,and see very little innovation in them either. My reason for turning to AG's. Personally I found the original Half Life better than HL2, which many people think is the superior game. Sure, it looks better and the physics engine gives more options to the gameplay, but it's still just a shooter.

I'm not talking about reinventing the wheel here. Just something different from the same ol same ol.

BTW; I'm pretty much a senior citizen myself at 57.
