Game recommendations based on my likes:

Hey guys,

I am a relatively new gamer. I have completed Syberia and The Last Express, Fahrenheit as well as 3 Broken Swords! I love in particular the first two games. I really like spooky horror games or murder mysteries - I didn't enjoy Myst at all. I hate games where there are endless puzzles which make no sense a la space quest 6 and The Longest Journey. A great plot is a plus although i prefer non sci fi games ie not set in the future! Realism is good!

Yes I am fussy :P Sorry! But any recommendations would be so welcome (even if it doesn't meet my ultra high criteria!!!)

This thread (http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19960) (which appears at the top of the adventure section) is probably a good place to start. Plenty of recommendations in there which will hopefully give you something to fit your exacting criteria. ;)

I'd recommend Still life.

And the Gabriel Knight games. Though they may disappoint on the realism bit. :P
