Default Hello Everyone!

Not totally sure if this is the right place to post this topic, but I've been browsing the web for ages trying to find a new game to buy. I'm looking for a really good adventure/point & click game to sink my teeth into, and I thought you'd be the people to ask for recomendations.

I'd love a game that is purely point & click/adventure...no guns fighting or anything, just a game where you need to use your head. It would be great to get something nice and graphically modern. Something like Still Life, or Lost Crown which I've recently started playing, but quickly becoming bored of. (Terrible, dull voice acting.)

I'm on a vista computer, so need something compatable with that. If anyone has any suggestions, please please let me know. I look forward to hearing your responces!

Well if you're after an adventure game to 'sink your teeth into' then a perfect suggestion is Dracula: Origin. Still haven't played it myself... yet. It's modern (hasn't been out long), pure point 'n click and should work on Vista.

Oooh now that one looks good. Thanks for the suggestion, going to look further into this one. It looks great. Nice and dark too, just how I like it!

There's also Overclocked:A History of Violence and Rhodan which are both worthwhile.

You should go for Perry Rhodan.
It's a real gem

Reeeeally didn't take me long to finish Dracula Origin. Good game, but pretty short.

I really, really enjoyed Culpa Innata, which came out last year. Fun, casual third person point and click (click to move, interact). Good puzzles, good story!
