oh, THAT kind - i think you might want to head over to the c.s.i.p.g.action
group then.

But from what you said I think you'd probably enjoy "Beyond Good and Evil"
(not exactly new) or even the 2 latest Prince of Persia ones.

Chronicles of Riddick (quite recent) also comes to mind - mostly action
with some rpg/adventure elements.

This is not an adventure game by any stretch, plus it is extremely
violent, and has high system requirements.
Let's stick with Syberia 1 & 2, Longest Journey, Dark Fall, like that.

And *WHO* said it was? Did you bother to read what I wrote?

And how exactly is that relevant to the discussion? Part I

No, let's stick with games that are pertinent to the subject matter at
hand, like that.

The OP mentioned Tomb Raider earlier, which is basically a 3D
action/platform hybrid game with some adventure elements - the ones you
mentioned aren't.

This may not be the most appropriate group to discuss it (as I also
pointed out in my first post) but limiting your answers to on-topic only
games will hardly be of any help to anyone.

I was pedantic, you're right But to go from tombraider to Riddick
is quite a leap, especially given the brutal nature of Riddick's gameplay
(I've played it twice, it's a great game). I am all for fully-3D adventure
games, but how many of those are there.
