Dracula: Origin is pretty average; it starts off very good, with a gloomy cemetary and gothic atmosphere but deteriorates as you progress. Plus the ending is really, really lame.
Dracula 3 was a good game even though some puzzles were really hard to solve; the story sometimes was obscured a little by the hard puzzles but all in all, I really liked this game. Nice atmosphere, very nice graphics.
Gabriel Knight is still my favourite adventure game series. If you love good storytelling, well-developed characters and nicely done puzzles, this is the game for you. All three games in the series are wonderful; there's nothing better - not even Broken Sword
Sherlock Holmes: nice gloomy atmosphere, characters were a bit flat sometimes (and I just hated Watson standing in my way every time I turned around); controls take some time getting used to. I thought the story was interesting enough though I still lament the fact that you don't get to see what happens when you fail.
The other games I haven't played yet but Lost Crown is supposed to be an excellent game
