I'm not talking about reinventing the wheel here. Just something different from the same ol same ol.
If you have some time please read my 4 part essay (also linked in my post above). I don't mean to sound self-promoting but everything I have to say on the matter is in those essays and many of the points I make may resonate with yours.

I've said everything I can about the adventure game genre in the essays (published in '05), and what I find interesting is that after all these years things really haven't changed, at least to the degree where a game like Still Life 2 or Return To Mysterious Island 2 receives as much media coverage and commercial attention as Fallout 3 or Bioshock.
