There have been a few good innovative triple A adventure games recently.

Heavy rain is a true adventure game if you ask me (not in the point and click sense, but that's the whole point of innovation)

And although it has shooting sequences, I count LA Noire as an adventure game.

I'm done with the point and click games although I loved them when I was a kid. Heavy Rain and LA Noire, I think that's the direction adventure should be going, but the genre is taking baby steps.
