    I'll give it another shot. I used to freaking love this genre, if you were to ask me what one of my favorite games all time are I would say Maniac Mansion which was a point and click style game. When it first came out, I enjoyed Myst the first time though. I thought the nostalgia factor for Monkey Island would drag me back in, but its just too casual, too easy for me now. Plus technically the 3D camera is god awful. Some things just work better in two simple dimensions.

    I still thank them for providing a taste for free though. It's cool of them to do that for the audience even if some of us are not going to go back to it. I'm a little bummed, but gaming has evolved too much for me to really want to go back and play this kind of point and click game. I'm afraid the genre died for a reason.

    The genre is far from dead. It's one of the most prevalent genres, and has been for years. However, most of them are low-budget (like this one), or even indi-level, while the big budgets go to FPSs and RTSs, so we don't hear much about them, but trust me: Point-and-click adventures still have an audience.
