Best Adventure Game

Traditional adventure games don't focus on shooting, fighting, or other action elements, but rather showcase their exploration, puzzle-solving, and storytelling components. PC adventure games were once a flourishing genre, while console games found a new start in the adventure genre with the advent of the so-called "survival horror" game. Surprisingly enough, there were actually quite a few good adventure games in 2004 for both the PC and consoles. Here are the finalists:
