The question is simple: what is the adventure title you are most expecting? Which title makes your hands sweat with anticipation?

My question rises like a phoenix from the ashes of this thread, so I decided to put at all users this simply question.

Here's my personal Top Three:

1) Gray Matter
2) Overclocked
3) Mata Hari

the whispered world - we need more old school games with beautiful scenery like golden games as monkey island broken sword.. to revive adventure genre, count here also the vampire story, abbey, so blonde...

the bad the ugly and the sober - we need more old west games

fenimore fillmore's revenge - we need more old west games ;]

perry rhodan - great looking atmosphere, light hearted sci fi as its best, i guess puzzles to be good also

jack keane and ankh series - we need more comic and humour adventures

simon the sorcerer 4 - one of the funniest adventure series with legendary one liners and jokes

Simon: got any hints?
Calypso: i'm afraid not.. however if you search within yourself, then..
Simon: Cut it out, ok? i asked for a hint not the crazy philosophies of a Father Christmas look alike
Calypso: Heed my words, bold adventurer, and your path will lead to wisdom and..
Simon: I'm tottaly stuck as what to do
Calypso: I'really wish i could help you but i'm just a clueless old fool
Simon: never a truer word was spoken


also, i want journeyman project 4 monkey island 5, gabriel knight 4, broken sword 5, indiana jones (whatever), toonstruck 2, new sherlock holmes games, new poirot games, full throttle 2, keepsake 2, last express 2, longest journey 3 (APRIL RYAN as the main character!), syberia 3, day of the tentacle - probably best all around adventure game sequel, new monthy python games, phantasmagoria 3, touche 2, and i forgot some sure..

Easy: Gray Matter And I can assure you: Overclocked lives up to the hype and the expectations. I've played the German version - great game with one of the best developed characters I've ever encountered in a game

1) A New Beginning
2) Whispered World
3) Gray Matter

Maybe Overclocked at 3 instead, I haven't seen too much about it, though.

I really look forward to playing games with good cartoon style graphics again. To be honest, I'm not really up to date with recent and upcoming games, these just caught my eye.

Check out the Hype-O-Meter. It's in the Honorable Mention sector.

PS: But of course I'm looking forward to other games as well. I'll buy at least 9 new adventures this year. If and when they are released...

Most of the games I'm looking forward to look a long way from release, unfortunately. I'll definitely pick up Sam & Max: Season 2 when it's released on CD, and A Vampyre Story is looking good despite the lack of recent updates. Other games that intrigue me are Simon the Sorceror 4, Mozart and Theseis, though again, I haven't heard anything much about any of those games recently.

You people DO realize this forum is attached to an adventure game site with all kinds of game info, right?

Judging the page here at AGs, we don't have a lot of information about the game, but the screenshots surely seem interesting, although I'm not too fond of adventures with historical settings (mainly 'cause I tend to notice every mistake )

I was wondering: does the game include English subtitles? I know some basic German, and wouldn't mind playing the game in the original version. I am really looking forward to:
  1. Overclocked
  2. Dreamfall Chapters

The fact that I detect but minute quantities of perspiration on my upper extremities does not mean I am not looking forward to Gray Matter a great deal. Mata Hari also has noteworthy credentials. And since the question was phrased in such a manner as to permit a chronologically challenged choice, I am looking forward to replaying The Colonel's Bequest.
