Though most gamers consider this a dead genre, I'm making this list the help Adventure fans keep the genre alive, by showing all new and recent titles that bring back that certain Myst/Sierra/Lucas Arts charm back to our PC.

Any additions (preferably 2002 and onwards) are much welcomed and appreciated. Just leave a comment.

Also, check out some of my other Adventure-related lists:

MYST series

Top 20 Adventure Games: not MY Top 20 choices, but a great list regardless

SCUMM games: Classic Lucas Arts games using the famous SCUMM engine, first found in Maniac Mansion

Virtual Theatre games: Another adventure gaming engine, this one found in the first two Broken Sword games as well as Beneath a Steel Sky

Monkey Island series: needs no introduction to adventure gaming fans

Sam & Max series: A true classic adventure enjoying recent revival in form of downloadable episodes

and here's many other Adventure game lists, most from Prelude76:

Broken Sword series

Legend of Kyrandia series

King's Quest series

Space Quest series

Police Quest series

Leisure Suit Larry series

Quest for Glory series

Nancy Drew series
