Default Best Adventure Games of All Time Article at Gamesr0x

Sorry for the slightly awkward title there. Anyway, I was browsing Teh Intarweb™, and I stumbled across one of those "Best Adventure Games of All Time" lists. I thought you might enjoy it.

But as we dusted off our old 486 the other day (look it up, kids) for another playthrough of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, we got into a bit of an argument here at Gamesr0x. We just couldn't agree on what the best adventure game of all time was.

So... we did some thinking. Some playing. And even a bit of coin-flipping. And here, in this very article, we're going to tell you what we think are the best adventure games of all time. From the golden oldies, that will have you basking in nostalgia, to the cream of the current crop, if it's worth playing it's probably here. And you owe it to yourself to play all of them.

Without further ado...
The actual article is pretty good, in my opinion (and surprisingly well written for a site that I'd never heard of), but it has a few oddities. They try to rank the games at the end, and I'm really not sure about the results. Syberia in the top ten? King's Quest V above VI? And this at number one?

Actually, I can kind of see how that last one might work. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
