Favorite adventure game of 2009? (was "Curse of the Ancient Temple Just Released!")
Curse of the Ancient Temple Just Released! Its my favorite adventure game released this year!
So - Lets have an adventure game of the year for 2009! The highest rated game I've seen for this year is...... Broken Sword - Director's Cut. As I've said, My personal favorite is.....Curse of the Ancient Temple !!! Best Graphics - The Scorpio Mystery. If a Best Adventure Game of the Year award is handed out - what game should win it?

FYI - "The Experiment" was the adventure game of the year - 2008 for many major websites.
Mainly due to its innovative game play mechanics.

Isn't it a bit early? The 3rd Dark Fall is just on its way, and Whispered World and Book of Unwritten Tales might finally get released this year. Maybe even Culpa Innata will appear out of nowhere, who knows..
But up to this date - Runaway 3, hands down. |

Yeah Runaway 3 does look pretty sexy. Though, the Daedalic games in question look (in screenshots at least), that little bit sexier in my opinion. What can I say, 2D pre-rendered backgrounds look amazing.

I really have no idea which new adventure games came out this year. I'd have to go with ToMI because that's the only one I played/am playing.

- and Runaway 3 and others
Anyway, I have a difficult time to say which one I've enjoyed more. Can we have the best three or four adventures of the year? That should solve the problem and I'd easily name 'em. |

Looking at the suggested titles above, I'd have to definately agree.

Of the six I've played my vote goes to Machinarium as well, although I enjoyed some of the others very much.

Of the ones I've played (depressingly few!) it would have to be Secret Files 2.

"Curse of the Ancient Temple" is a DS port of the PC adventure game "The Scorpio Mystery" and has some DS changes. It is not just find an item game. It has puzzles, characters and story too.
However, Thersia: Dear Emily - I'm playing this for the second time and it actually maybe better. Secret Files 2 would be my choice for PC adventure game of the year hands down.

For me is easily Machinarium.
The remake of Monkey Island was also great, but that doesn't really count. I'm still waiting for the english releases of The Whispered World and The Book of Unwritten Tales. Biggest disapointment was Still Life 2.

My personal Game of the Year 2009 is Tales of Monkey Island, if only because, alongside the Special Edition, it achieved something many of us thought impossible: resurrecting one of the genre's most beloved series.
Of course, I realize the last chapter isn't out yet, but I'm pretty confident my choice will remain the same, regardless of how good or bad the series end. |

Hmm difficult one! I personally do not think this year was full of great games (I think 2010 will be better!), but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be: Sherlock Holmes vs Jack The Ripper, followed by Secret Files 2.
I am sure this will all change very soon as Dark Fall 3 is about to drop |
