I'm looking for some recommendations from all of you point-and-click adventurers out there! I'm in the mood for a good old point-and-click adventure game. I really enjoyed Gemini Rue a few years ago, but I haven't looked into any of the other Wadjet Eye games. Could someone recommend which of their catalog I should play next? I'm on a pretty limited budget, so I'm only looking to get one of them. In your opinion, which is the best Wadjet Eye adventure game?

Primordia is very, very good. I fucking love that game. It has the guy from Bastion too.
I'd recommend the Blackwell series. The bundle that contains 4 out of the 5 games of the series is on sale on steam right now. The writing is good, the voice acting solid and the puzzles mostly devoid of terrible adventure game moon logic.

I second this, the Blackwell series is great and you've given the exact two reasons I always give when telling people how good it is: Great writing/characters and very sound and reasonable puzzle logic.
Gemini rue is still my personal favorite, but i also enjoyed resonance and the blackwell series! The blackwell bundle is 5 bucks on steam for a little while!!
I hope to get to primordia, the black well finale, the shivah and shardlight eventually... Oh boy i have adventure gaming to do.
Technobabylon is probably the next best after Gemini rue. Primordia and shardlight are also fantastic.
@dtat: Is it weird that you're still one of the handful of users I remember from the Giant Bomb Community Song?
Primordia is my favourite. I haven't played Resonance.
I would say all of them, if you liked Gemini Rue youre in for a blast. The shivah really feels the age and i havnt tried Shardlight yet but otherwise its smooth sailing. Resonance and the Blackwell series are my personal favourites. Resonance kinda is an Dan Brown type of story which clicks really well with me.
@rethla: There is a remastered edition of the shiva that is mostly on par with their more recent titles graphics wise. It's just really short, so I'd say the money/hour of fun ratio is better with other wadjeteye titles. Though that games setting is certainly unique.
I really liked Emerald City Confidential , which I think was intended for a more casual audience (so it's a bit easier than other Wadjet Eye games, which for me means it's less frustrating because I don't have to go to GameFAQs 30 minutes after I start playing).
If you're tight on money probably Resonance or the Blackwell series is a better choice, but I think Emerald deserved a shout out in this thread :)
@bisonhero: Hahaha that was a while ago! You're the first in a while to recognize my name from that. It was a surreal experience hearing my voiced mashed into a song on the internet xD
