The Secret of Monkey Island - PC Games
A true Classic!
Great great great!
So the graphics are all 'pixelized', who cares??
The story, the characters, the humour, the action, the difficulty,... Delicious!
Even if the graphics are old, we like the oldies! We enjoy the freedom of the point & click controls. We crack ourselves up with the absurd situations and funny bits. We love every single character. And we accept the challenge of going "WTF do I do now?" every once in a while. Arr!
Downside: MI I and II don't have voices. And unfortunately the ones I played didn't play sound or music very well either.

Escape from Monkey Island - PC Games
This time in 3D, the Monkey Island saga continues...!
And now I can add voices to the amazing characters :)

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars - PC Games
Another Great Great Classic!
It is fantastic. for pretty much the same reasons MI is.
The story, the characters, gameplay, the humour! Ah! "Paris in the fall"...
With a beautiful, simple 2D setting, and with cutscenes.
We love the graphics just the way they are, and we like to interact just the way we do :) We get lost in the stories. We laugh with the situations, clever jokes, and witty sarcasm. We absolutely LOVE George and the others (everyone from Andre to the goat!). And we appreciate having to think "How am I gonna do that now?". Ain't that so?
Broken Sword rules!

This time you can play both George and Nico.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon - PC Games
Now in 3D, our beloved characters have changed a bit, but we adapt.
We can move with the arrows now, but we can still get the mouse working for us. Same great characters, same good story, same delicious humour, and still not easy.

Broken Sword: The Angel of Death - PC Games
It's in 3D again, but the characters have changed, which might seem weird, but I think they did improve so, cool. And it's still good :)
I want some more!

Still Life - PC Games
It's pretty cool, nice graphics, interesting stuff going on.
Good graphics, good action and all, good characters I think but without getting deep in the story, and mostly a bit too easy for me.

Syberia - PC Games
Now this was good :)
Good graphics, good controls (all in the lines of the previous 2)
I liked the story and all the gaming, loved our leading lady Kate, as well as automaton Oscar. Better difficulty than Still Life, without being too hard. I really want to play Syberia II.

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey - PC Games
Well, this game, is... frustratingly simple.
It's interesting. The story gets engaging. I enjoy our main character Zoe, and others as well (like Damien - oh yeah; and the Crow - that was refreshing). The graphics are quite beautiful (some beautiful scenery, with 3D characters, still I managed to get Zoe's head "inside" a wall haha) But...
There's a huge amount of endless cutscenes all troughout the game (they're pretty, sure, and make it interesting, but hey: let me play, I'm not exactly watching a movie here). One thing is interacting (which I love), another is automatic cutscene after cutscene. From the cutscene, you get what's going on and all, and then when the cutscene's over, you can go to your cellphone/notebook and you have a note there saying exactly what you're to do next (not "hints", they're part of the game and blink as messages you have to see, and may state either what you [Zoe] are feeling or what you have to do).
So yeah, thank you for sparing my brain.
Sometimes I even know what to do before the character does.
What to do? Go to the blinking cellphone. How do to it? Simply guess and try (as it's often obvious) or Ask someone. Electronics on your way? Call your high-tech-master friend Olivia.
So we move our character around. We walk a lot. We talk even more. Then we play a little. And it's always simple and too often easy.
Oh, and the gameplay is a bit annoying; we can memorize the action controls and we can move the characters around quite easily with the keypad arrows but the constant shifting of the camera when it shouldn't is irritating as it makes you go where you weren't going...
I will remember the game. I won't forget the characters. But all in all... the best way to describe it is, I guess, it was more like a movie than a game, in a bad way.

Myst: Masterpiece Edition - PC Games
So, the graphics are beautiful.
It's not exactly a piece of cake. But I didn't find it much interesting.
There's the beautiful scenery, the mystery going on, the puzzles, the crazy brothers, but, eh.
I think I really like having a character, so, being in 1st person doesn't help.

Hocus Pocus - PC Games
Eheh I played this a lot when I was a kid.
It's kinda like a platform game (since you go around jumping platforms and getting things and stuff) but it's more complex. There are several levels, with different settings and objects and monsters, and it's pretty cool.

Mario is Missing! - Famicom and NES
I wasn't sure if this was the game... Because it had a different name in portugal and I saw some weird stuff when I was looking for Mario Is Missing stuff, but yeah.
I loved this game when I was a kid! It came in a floppy disk (that's old eh?) And I never played it again because my father ruined it (he erased some key he wasn't supposed to. meh.)
But it was cool. We play with Luigi and we go around searching for Mario; travelling around the world and asking things and answering others until we find him. I still remember the music *hums*

Games completed. (and thus, only games that actually have an end)
As you'll notice I'm a sucker for adventure games and I love point & click.
(What really does it: engaging storyline, great and unforgettable characters, a decent level of difficulty, a bit of humour, and if the graphics are beautiful then all the better.)
