These are the 'role playing' type games, most commonly in the horror/sci-fi or mystery genre. You usually play a character who's trying to solve a mystery, catch a killer, unlock a secret or some such thing.

Examples of my favorites in this genre:

The 7th Guest

Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within

Police Quest: Open Season (notable for the involvement of Daryl Gates)

The Pandora Directive

Ripper

Scratches (one of the more recent of the bunch)

The Lost Crown (currently playing)

Others I've heard good things about but never got to play:

Phantasmagoria

Harvester

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

Sanitarium

Evidence: The Last Ritual

The format itself had fallen out of favor for a while - first person shooters ruling the day - but I'm seeing it come back into the mainstream now. One company has hit it fairly big using Carolyn Keene's "Nancy Drew" character. There are close to 20 of these games out, and they're starting a "Hardy Boys" series as well. My buddy's kids are nuts about these games. They're a little less intense than my general liking, but still can be fun to play alongside the kids.

Anyone else on here play and enjoy this type of game?

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
