An ethereal, innovative, emotional cooperative experience, thatgamecompany’s Journey is one that any PlayStation 3 owner should take.

Isn’t it time you learn what all the fuss is about?

Sam & Max: Season Two (2008)
This game, and this season as a whole, is completely, certifiably nutso. And therein lies the magic and the charm of the experience. It's a wonderful experience when it's not straining under the weight of its own ambition.
Day of the Tentacle (1993)
If you have the slightest tolerance for humor-based adventures, this game should be at or near the top of your list.

The high point (and swan song) of Sierra's 2-D adventure era -- a wonderful introduction to the characters and world of Gabriel Knight.

Twilight Oracle (2024)
Twilight Oracle is aimed at those who cherish the point-and-click classics from adventure gaming’s past. It features vividly surreal pixel-art graphics, a fantasy-based story, challenging puzzles and surprisingly delightful writing.
