Game ideas?

[fishcube]

I plan on ordering a couple PC games today or tomorrow (to go with new notebook coming soon!). Here are some I'm interested in:

Nancy Drew-Crystal Skull
Dreamfall
Barrow Hill
Keepsake
Runaway 2
Post Mortem
The Last Express
Culpa Innata

Any recommendations? See my sig for info on other games I've played and playing (which I'll be restarting on new notebook). I loved TLJ, Siberia 1&2, BlackMirror, StillLife etc.

Also, can one move game saves from one computer to another?

I really enjoyed Culpa Innata and for most games, moving saved games (or using other people's saved games) isn't a problem.

I have Post Mortem too but haven't started it. I got it primarily because I quite liked Still Life.

As for Dreamfall, I liked TLJ far better than it but I still think that people should play both. :)

So I'd vote for you to get Culpa Innata, Post Mortem and Dreamfall.

Along with the suggestions, don't forget to read reviews (http://www.adventuregamers.com/reviews.php) of all the games you're interested in. Also check out the games database page (http://www.adventuregamers.com/games.php) that will have lots of info about the game (and more is being added) that may influence what you decide to purchase. There's a ton of info at Adventure Gamers that can go a long way in supplementing someone's recommendation, helping you make a more informed decision as to what games you choose to purchase.

Taking Dreamfall as an example, a lot of people loved it and a lot of people hated it so looking at the game info page (http://www.adventuregamers.com/gameinfo.php?id=162) will let you know if there are elements in there that you may not like (it has some combat and some stealth elements in there).

Well, if you've liked Still Life and Runaway you should enjoy Post Mortem and Runaway 2. Also, everyone should play The Last Express.

I would recomend The Last Express if you can get your hands on it. I really enjoyed it myself the voice acting was especially good which can be hit or miss sometimes in a game. On a similar note I have both Runaway games but havent started either although I will probably start the first one soon and am really looking forward to it. In addition I'm currently at war with my computer to get it to play Still Life on Vista. Is it worth the fight is it that good of a game?

You definately should check out Jack Keane too over at gamersgate.com.

Yes, I've checked all the sites and info out about the games. I'm posting here to get others opinions and suggestions and to see if there are any other good ones that I havn't listed.

I ended up ordering these:

Barrow Hill
The Last Express (used)
Dreamfall
Post Mortem
Nancy Drew - Crystal Skull

[fishcube]

I have a giftcard to use for Gamestop and would like to get a couple more games. Just started Dreamfall and am liking it, except for the combat which I hate.

Thinking about these:

Culpa Innata
Runaway 2
Keepsake

any other suggestions?

How about Scratches? If you've ordered Barrow Hill then you should definitely get Scratches. IMO it's much better.
