I just love everything in a good adventure game...

-The fact that the only way to finish the game is using your brain without killing zombies or big eyes (maybe not too much, but you use it)...The story, the scenarios, the freedom sensation (I know there isn't, but you feel it more than GTA series =P)...The gameplay (point n' click yeahhhh)..EVERYTHING...
Is something I can't explain

, Maybe because I've been playing them since I'm a kid, but I just love GA...

I will not touch a game unless the story is spellbinding.

Ha, that little statement got me run out of the JA forums.

My health is not good so I play adventure games as a way to occupy my time. I tried the shooter games but did not care for them the adventure games at least for me are more fun to play. The only problem I have now is none of the stores in our area seem to have a very good selection of adventure games.

def number 2. I just love sitting down and looking at all the wicked background art these artists toiled over many hours for. I apreciate their hard work and amazing talent for sure. I guess the only thing that pisses me off about exploring is waiting for your character go get from one side of the screen to the other... and the other... and the other. Someone has really got to figure out a way around that.

For me, as for others, playing an adventure game is relaxation, ok, sometimes an AG can get stressfull, if you stumble upon some illogical puzzle, but most of the time it´s relaxing, mind-training and like reding a book, there´s noting better than a adventure game with a good written plot!

Definately #2. I draw a line between puzzles and adventures. If the story isn't there in a BIG, HUGE, ALMIGHTY way, then neither am I.

Then again, I'm quite versatile with stories. I'll play any game that sucks me into its world. Today those are mostly RPGs.
