    Mine's by far Batman: Arkham City. I loved the first one, but AC just left me stunned. Easily one of the best games of all time.

    So what about you?

    Assassin's Creed II, I really cared about Ezio and his quest to avenge his family.

    For some reason I think you guys are talking about the "wrong" adventure games in here,I think the kind of adventure games this board is all about are the classic ones,the ones you folks are mentioning are better suited for the action/adventure board.

    And in that light,my favourite adventure game this gen is The Book of Unwritten Tales,followed by Dreamfall and Gemini Rue.

    The Longest Journey and Dreamfall are two of my all time favourites. As for recent games, adventure game fans who haven't already tried To the Moon really should do themselves a favour and check it out! It's a truly heartwarming experience and I enjoyed every second of it.

    I can't decide between Arkham City and Assassin's Creed II.

    Both games have awesome stories, great and fluid combat and tons of optional quests to keep you occupied.

    So I guess that's a tie for me.

    If you can count Sonic Generations in here, i would choose that one. I'm being soo addicted to it :3 the most addicting game for me at the moment is Final Fantasy XIII-2 but that's an RPG instead of adventure.

    Yes, you're right. Action-adventure games should be discussed in the board dedicated to them rather than here.

    When I hear 'adventure game' I think more of esoteric puzzles, and wandering around picking up random items. As far as this gen goes, pickings are slim, but Telltale's Monkey Island series gets my vote. Keeping the spirit of the 80's/90's adventure games alive.

    My favorites of the last five years or so would be Gemini Rue, Sam & Max Season 2, Machinarium and Jack Keane.

    Tales of Monkey Island was good, too. Stacking was great fun as a non-traditional adventure (ie. not point-and-click).

    Also, some of the fan-made remakes and sequels for Sierra's King's Quest and Space Quest series have been terrific.

    Nothing beats the 1990s classic adventures, though. That was the Golden Age.

    I'm playing Book of Unwritten Tales right now. It's beautiful and well-written with interesting characters but the gameplay just doesn't measure up -- easy puzzles and too much streamlining. That seems to be a big problem with adventures these days -- Telltale has gone that route with recent releases and it looks like others are following suit.

    mine would be the longest journey and also its sequel dreamfall. not forgetting syberia series (1 and 2).

    i'm so absorbed into the story of both franchise.

    how i cared what happen to April, Zoe, and Kate.

    the places they visited and how it eventually change their lives (like the decision Kate Walker made when she choose to follow Hans at the end of syberia 1, that was a powerful emotions)

    i'm a bit sad that the sequel for both titles are put on indefinite hold..my wish that it will be publish in the near future..

    ps: wow..realizing that its already been 12 years since i played the longest journey..its already that long..
