I'm not actually quite sure about the first two, because based on the screen shots it's hard to tell, but the iTunes descriptions label them as adventure games. Of course we know how people like to throw the phrase "adventure game" around

So has anyone tried Snow Hill HD yet? So far I'm enjoying it. Definitely a traditional adventure game with no hidden object sequences. The main two problems I have with it at the moment are that it's often hard to know where to go without tapping everything, and I seem to be collecting a lot of inventory without using it. Of course, I know where several of the items need to be used and just haven't gotten back to those places yet. Overall I think the game has a lot of potential and will be worth sticking with.

I've also started Sinister City. This one is definitely a hidden object game, but I'm still enjoying it. One thing I like is that you actually get to see your character wander around the screen like a real third person adventure game, which is highly unusual for a hidden object game. The HO screens are pretty standard, though you get to move things around more than in most HO games. Again I think there's a lot of potential and an intense story waiting to get out.

The screenshots for Escape How Can I? are Antrim Escape shots. Weird.

Well that's not cool. I'm not real familiar with Antrim Escape so I didn't realize that, or I wouldn't have posted the link.

I bought Snow Hill but it's not doing much for me other than putting me to sleep

That's too bad. I was thinking of buying it. Decided on the latest Mortimer Beckett instead. Having fun with it. My nephew surprised me with an iTunes gift card so I broke down and bought Twisted Lands Insomniac. I liked the first one.

I think it's time for a new BFG CE release.

"About to blow up part 1" is definitely a classic point and click adventure!
It just happens to be in a zany cartoon style. Check it out here:

That's too bad. It is a bit slow, but overall I like the atmosphere. I'm looking forward to getting back to it when I have some more time.

That's great to hear. I love a zany cartoon style

Thanks for the mention of Mystery Valley, think mrsleny vouched for the game in an earlier post so I bought it just now. I'm liking it very much, or rather the lite I tried first. It can look slightly pixelatted when zoomed in as also mentioned but not enough to deter my playing it.

Appreciate all the mentions on Adventure games and trying to choose between The Secret of Grizzly Manor or Dream Chronicles and then there's The Lost City. Never thought I'd have a problem choosing an adventure game as my first real tryout and all three look like something that won't scare me off. Been rather busy (and other games as well) but I see one of these in the very near future to play. Thanks again!

Yikes. I don't remember endorsing Mystery Valley. In fact I'm pretty sure I wasn't impressed by the demo. If you are enjoying it though maybe I was too hasty in my review. Perhaps I will give it another go.

I'm almost finished Mortimer Beckett and the Crimson Thief. I really enjoyed it.

Do you have to play them in order or doesn't it matter?
