Catching up. Recommendations?

[deepdish]

(Sorry in advance for all these "how was this game?" threads; as the title states, I'm trying to catch up with some of you folks)

So I've been somewhat out of the Adventure gaming loop for a minute now (pretty much since high school) and I want to get up to speed. More particularly, I'm looking to play the biggies that came out in the last 5 or so years.

As I've mentioned in some other threads, I've pretty much played all the "important" games, most of which are in the Sierra On-line and LucasArts repertoire.

In the past couple years, I've purchased my Adventure games very casually. Whenever I had a free couple days, I'd head over to Best Buy and purchase anything that looked particularly interesting from The Adventure Company. Recent (I use the term relatively) games that I've played and enjoyed are: Still Life, Post Mortem, Syberia I & II, Missing.

Looking at some of the games in the Reviews section, the one that's really caught my attention so far has been "Runaway: A Road Adventure." Good?

Yes Runaway is pretty good. There is also a second one too. These games insist you think outside the box alot. Keep that in mind when you play them. Others that I can safely recommend are:

Dark Fall 1 & 2
The Lost Crown
A Vampire Story
The Blackwell Legacy
The Blackwell Unbound
Emerald City Confidential (comes out tomorrow)
Everlight
Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpion Ritual
Destination Treasure Island

These are only a few that I have just recently played myself but they are all real good in my opinion.

Awww, darn you, Brimstone!!! haha You're awesome, but you keep beating me to the punch to recommend Jonathan's games!!!! :( lol I second those. :P

You have to be quick on the draw. Once I get a really good game I like to recommend it every chance I get.
