What makes a good game? For me, it's the challenge, the thinking through, and the reward. One genre that I feel pulls this off spectacularly is the Point and Click type.

Currently, I own Blade Runner, Simon The Sorcerer and The X-Files. All of which are entertaining games. However, I am looking to increase my point and click collection, as they've been so faithful and entertaining in the past.

Does anyone agree with me? I'd really like some decent reccomendations, if you wouldn't mind. Oh, and if you're going to bother, please put why you like it.

If you don't mind games which are a bit older then the Kings Quest series is quite good.

A truley excellent point and click is Day of the Tentacle which you can buy bundled with another game (I can't remeber what it's called but I have friends that liked it), for about £15

Others I can think of are the Broken sword games (I've got these for the PS2), and the discworld games. I have enjoyed all of these.

Point and click games are great because they seem to ba able to make them funny, where many other games lack this.

Anyway my top recommendation would be Day of the Tentacle, although it is quite short, Its is extreamly enjoyable and really funny.
