Simon the Sorcerer 3(D) - the controls were bad, the humour not up to the standards of the first two and the storyline was cliched and suffered some glaring continuity errors. the only difficult puzzles in the game were only difficult because of the frustrating controls rather than taxing the brain
Monkey Island 4 - terrible story, not as funny as the previous games and much like Simon some blatant continuity errors that gave the impression that the writers of this game had only read a brief summary of the plots of the earlier games
Kings Quest 8 - action/adventure... without the adventure. the complete lack of any characters to interact with was bad enough (it worked in Keepsake but that game had a horde of puzzles to make up for it), almost no puzzles and even less story. I'd much rather pretend this game never existed
