R64 Bracket 5 - The Big AG VS Tournament
Match 1- Machinarium: Wow this is a really tough one. Two games that are vastly different. LSL7 is the best LSL game in the series, but I have to give the very slight edge to Machinarium. The creativity and the charm in Machinarium makes it the best Amanita Design game yet, and that’s saying something since all of AD’s games are superb.
Match 2- Simon the Sorcerer: This was the closest to LucasArts you can get back in the 90’s.
Match 4- Grim. Second best adventure game ever made (IMHO), right after DOTT and just by a hair. The amazing world, the great voice acting, the very unique setting, the memorable characters, the engaging plot, the difficult yet clever puzzles, this game has it all.
PS. I am tempted to vote for GK3 just because the first 2 are truly amazing games, but I will refrain from doing that because I haven’t played it yet 
Match 4 = Myst III Exile
No interest in the other games.
Don’t Hate Me Because I Am Beautiful…There Are Many Other Reasons
M2: Simon the Sorcerer - I always looked at these two series shoulder by shoulder and consider Discworld Noir as the weakest game of the lot and the first Simon the best
Wow. It keeps stunning me how different our tastes are. 
I tried Discworld 1, but it was so ridiculously impossible, and with so little direction of where to go and what to do next, or why I’d even want to do these things, that I just couldn’t get into it at all. Whereas Discworld Noir instantly had me hooked.
But it makes sense because you said you don’t like any modern noir. I didn’t even know not liking noir was a thing that was possible.
And as good as classic Noir is, so many of the best Noir-ish things were made much later. (Chinatown, Blade Runner, Tex Murphy games, etc.)

That Discwold Noir again… Machinarium is a nice game, but compared to such classics as Larry 7?! The last truly great Sierra adventure, along with GK3.

1. Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail! - with apologies to Machinarium, but Larry 7 deserves some respect
2. GAAAAAAH! Don’t make me choose… I’m sorry Simon, but I think this one has to go to Discworld Noir…
3. Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned
4. Grim Fandango - no contest

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Indeed strange to see someone disliking Discworld Noir which I still consider to be my absolute favourite adventure of all time. While the other Discworld games are funny and good they’re not brilliant like DN.
All 3 games I voted this round are 5/5 anyway.
