I think I started a thread about this awhile ago, but I can't find it so I'm asking again. I loved the Syberia series on X-Box, and I believe some of you recommended the Myst series to me because I'm looking for games that are not just "shoot 'em" up, "kung fu", or "kill the monster" games. I get really bored with fighting games really quickly. The thing I loved about Syberia I and II was it had such a good story. I love that you had to search for clues and find things and solve puzzles....without having to fight anything along the way.
Can you think of any other games besides Myst and Syberia that you'd recommend? I think I remember some of you telling me that there aren't many games like Syberia. Then tend to be few and far between. We have all three games systems now. X-Box, PS2, Nintendo Game Cube. So I could get a game for any system. Also, I was wondering about PC games because they might have a larger section of "Syberia" type games compared to the game boxes. I love a game where you have to solve a mystery and look for clues. Any suggestions on PC games?
The only thing I'm not sure about is if our computer can handle certain PC game graphics. This is the computer we bought last year:
