The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
Also I don't see nearly enough recommendations for Day of the Tentacle as well as Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis and Loom. Furthermore, does The Cave count? And what about Walking Dead?
The last adventure games I've played are Machinarium (pretty cool), Gray Matter (didn't work out), Walking Dead (cool), Jurassic Park (average), The Cave (okayish) and I have purchased but yet to play Gemini Rue.
It might be that I am an old timer, but I still prefer older adventure games. Those were the times....!
There's, of course, a heap of other non-point-and-click adventures that are definitely worth playing (Amnesia, Stacking, Lone Survivor). Also, games not on PC (999, VLR, Ghost Trick)
However, I believe that the best point and click adventure game series is Quest for Glory. It's basically like someone got their RPG Peanut Butter in a Sierra Adventure Game Chocolate.
@landmine: It got mentioned a few times. It's one of my favourites as well.

I really enjoyed the Blackwell Bundle from Watjet Eye. I got it in a Wadjet Eye bundle without knowing anything about but I ended up interesting me more than Genimi Rue and Resonance which I bought the bundle for. I'll admit the games took a little while for me to warm up to them though and it's the second game in the Blackwell series that hooked me.
Another point and click I enjoyed recently was Gray Matter. It reminds me a lot of older style point and clicks which makes sense since the games have Jayne Jensen in common with the Gabriel Knight series. I hated the cutscene art style and I know a bunch of other people that do too so don't let that first impression sour you to a great game.
