Adventure game of the year 2k8 for pc
This years games choosed that reviewed and rated with 4 stars and above only.

youfightlikeadairyfarmer · 12-09-2008, 08:35 AM

I haven't played any of these games.

TiAgUh · 12-09-2008, 09:07 AM

^ Me too

AndreaDraco83 · 12-09-2008, 09:10 AM

I voted for Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon.

So Blonde is a really close second.

Very interesting thread, Gabe! I'm really curious

MoonBird · 12-09-2008, 09:57 AM

So Blonde is best this year had to offer. Awesome game in all ways.

Kurufinwe · 12-09-2008, 11:20 AM

Even though I really liked Dracula 3 and Perry Rhodan, Sam & Max: Season 2 was one of the best things I've played on PC ~~in the last 10 years~~ ever, so it gets my vote.

ozzie · 12-09-2008, 11:59 AM

"Edna bricht aus" for me.
The only other adventure that I played from 2008 so far was Treasure Island and it was boring, stopped playing it in chapter 2.

Jelena · 12-09-2008, 12:57 PM

Perry Rhodan is my choice.

Fien · 12-09-2008, 02:05 PM

I have played six adventures of the list. Sam&Max Season 2, definitely.

damirko · 12-09-2008, 02:16 PM

I played through almost the whole list...

And A Vampyre Story is my pick, it just oozes with great style&atmosphere and some funy and wierd (in a good way) puzzles!

If I would need to choose runnerups then they would be So Blonde and Sam&Max Season 2.

Damn i waited for uk/us release and the game slipped under my radar( damn next gen games lol), too bad just got to know its been relseased since months.

How is it? There are only 2 to 3 videos on youtube , environments looks outstanding and my fav this year is Timehollow on DS nice concept,music,animated videos and story.

Gabe · 12-10-2008, 12:55 AM

Looks like Sam&Max won again,became boring for me with e202
but 203&04 was better and just couldnt find the right mood for
finishing 205.I think they deserve anyway but 2 years in a row,
wont be another installment next year?
Actually my fav was Chronicles of Mystery so far(other) nothing new but sweet.

QDream · 12-10-2008, 01:29 AM

There are only 2 adventure games I've played this year - Sinking Island and Vampyre Story demo..

So yeah, Sinking Island is my choice

I liked it..

I soo hope the next year will be better for adventure game scene.

I'm currently waiting for:

Dark Matter
Black Mirror 2
Still Life 2
Heavy Rain
Three Cards To Midnight

I think you're waiting for Gray Matter

dekaneas297 · 12-10-2008, 03:05 AM

Since Sinking Island is not in the poll, I voted for "Other"

Sam and Max to be named best?

Yeah sure, I think it's like the 3rd time I confused those two

Kazmajik · 12-10-2008, 07:06 AM

I hesitate to vote, because the only games I've played on the list are Dracula 3 (which I haven't finished yet) and Penumbra: Black Plague (which I stopped playing because it ran just slow enough to be annoying to me). I'm looking forward to So Blonde and A Vampyre Story, but for me 2008 hasn't been that great of an adventuring year.

Now, 2009, that'll be a Gray year! I mean a great year.

Ehehehe... This can easily become my motto for the next year!

Ascovel · 12-10-2008, 11:15 AM

To be honest, this year I had the most fun with Insecticide Part I, although it's only half of a game (like A Vampyre Story actually) and an adventure game only in half. I wonder when the second part will come out.

Vernon Schillinger · 12-10-2008, 11:32 AM

Sam and Max season 2. 'Lucasarts lives, but has changed it's name to Telltale Games.' Strong bad's cool game for attractive people was awesome, too.
