2 and 3 are personal favorites, but I would make a case for GK1 being the best adventure game ever. That game was incredible on all levels. There is nothing else as original and well written in the adventure genre.

You're right about the characters - they didn't have the magic that Gabe & Grace had. GK games also had very popular themes - historical mysteries, werewolves, voodoo etc. For me one of the biggest drawbacks in GM was that neurobiology just wasn't that interesting as a theme, and even the well written story couldn't change that.
GK2 is my favorite game ever, but I think the whole trilogy is a masterpiece in adventure gaming.
