Picked up on slashdot, another "woe, adventure games dead, people don't like to think anymore" story which ignores basic facts like
1. traditional retail PC adventure games are STILL being produced, with at least a handful hitting wal-mart every year
2. they're picking up new fans now that they're available on portals
3. there are interesting DS adventure games coming out too (Another Code, Professor Layton, Hotel Dusk, Time Hollow, Phoenix Wright....)
4. the insanely popular hidden object game genre on the casual game portals is developing a tendency to include some adventure game puzzles as well (Although probably with a much lower difficulty. I can't really say, as I don't play these games myself.)
On a related subject, a mainstream games review website which believes that you don't need to play an adventure game to know that they're all crap and a niche games review site which happens to like adventure games are throwing poo at each other.
