PC Games to make me think
I've nearly finished the Monkey Island series of games (brilliant!), can anyone suggest any others with the same blend of fantasy and challenge ? I don't want violent ones, but the sort where you collect things, have interesting conversations etc ?
TIA
TIA

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I liked some of the earlier final fanasy series of games (7-10), they are quite challenging and expansive. In fact i liked some of them again with years in between and weeks and entire days spent in fantasy land. The Broken sword series are good too yes, number 2 was particularly 'gripping', couldn't get past that goat!
Grim Fangio is ok. Broken sword is in a very similar vein to monkey island in the game play sense. However, there are 3 games that are alot more similar than the ones already mentioned by everyone else.
Firstly there is the Day of the Tentical. These guys also made monkey island, and not only is it funny, but is one of the hardest point and click games i have ever played. It is extremly clever.
Secondaly there is Sam and Max hit the road. Also made by lucas arts i think. Where day of the tenticle is more focused towards diffuculty, this game is absolutly hillarious, ive never laughed so hard at a game, and its a puzzle one to boot that is quite tough in places.
Finally there is an absolute classic called Benieth the Steel Sky. this was actually made before the original monkey island games, but has the same blend of comedy and puzzles.
The first two are a must for any Monkey island fan!!!

Broken Sword 4 (Angel of Death) was released a couple of weeks ago on PC, and I am half way through. It is a classic game. If you haven't played any of the previous 3 you should as they are complete point and click heaven!
Have to agree with powerserver about Beneath a Steel Sky, it is an oldie but brilliant!
