Just wondered if anyone knows of any old style adventure type games for the PS2.....ie puzzles over action (like the Hobbit on the Spectrum!!!) - Except up to date.....It would be nice to have a slower paced game that required thought instead of hand to eye coordination, to play with my GF and me folks......
does such a thing exist on the PS2?
I've had a brief look at Monkey Island but not sure if it has action in it.....
If not.....will have to develop my own Titchmarsh/Dimmock extreme gardening sim or something....

Escape from monkey island is a perfect example of that type of game you are looking for

That's about it for PS2 point n click games at the moment. But if you want other 'slower' games, you've got things like Shadow of Memories or Theme Park World. And I guess games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill are less dependent on fast reflexes than others.

You could also run PSone point n click games. Like the two Broken Sword games. Or maybe a Worms game?

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
