Default The Sydney Mystery and A Quiet Weekend in Capri

Apparently, these are adventure games that use high-detail, high-resolution photos to navigate around in as well as full-motion video for cutscenes and talking to people. I played the demo if The Sydney Mystery and although it's rather simplistic, I still found myself interested in this style to a game. Anyone know of any other games that use this style or something close to it?

Golden Gate is an older game that takes you through San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Golden Gate used painted images - watercolor I think.
I don't remember any photographic images in it.

I can't think of any game that used real photographs other than Capri, but there's going to be a sequel to Capri.

There's Golden Gate Killer. Not the same Golden Gate.
Am I the only one who's ever played Golden Gate Killer??
I've always wondered because nobody ever mentions it.

I think they are original photographs, but they've done something to them.

Anyone played Weekend in Capri? I'm considering purchasing it offa ebay and I'm curious if it's even worth laying down the cash for.

Noir is another game with still photos, and also had FMV.

How about The Byzantine Betrayal? I would say that defintely qualifies! And it's a great game, too.
