I wouldn't say one was superior to the other. I think it depends on the game. I don't think I'd want Gabriel Knight or Guybrush Threepwood in 1st person. Nor would Shivers or RHEM work very well in 3rd person. For puzzle-type games I think 1st person is better. For a game with emphasis on story or characters I usually like to see the character, but it isn't always necessary. Tex Murphy and Black Dahlia worked fine in 1st person.

It's not all that different from first person games with a static screen -- the difference being that with the 3rd person game you have to sit around waiting for the guy to walk/jog across the screen to the thing you want to click on while with the first person game you just click on it.
