If you haven't played The Walking Dead: Episode One yet, I highly recommend it. This is easily the best 400 MS points I spent in a while. Check out the following review:

good to know that im not the only one that enjoys interactive story/point & click adventure/horror games (lol thats a mouth full). the first episode blew me away, im invested now so i have to buy all the episodes to see how the story plays out. my first playthrough is a "no regrets" playthrough, so no changing save files (since you can have up to 3).

I can't remember the last game that hooked me in like that, and in such a short amount of time. I am so excited to play Episode Two - will have to finish Jurassic Park & Back To The Future in the meantime.

And MT - what other games have you played in this style? If you want one from the old school, look up Clock Tower II for the PS1, it's a decent point & click horror.

ever since i was little ive always wanted to be a cartoonist, is a hobby im just now starting to explore. DragonLair was the game that made me fall in love with point & click adventures, i remember playing it in the arcade and my mouth just dropped at the animation and how you could interact with it. from that moment i went home and taught myself how to do flipbook animation :)  

i really loved the art style of Axel and Pixel but the mini-games just ruined the whole damn game for me lol, i dont know now that im thinking about it i might just go ahead and get the game after im done with episode1 of walking dead..i played HeavyRain on friends ps3 and it was very enjoyable and ofcourse the MonkeyIsland games but i played them on pc a long time ago so i havent bothered with getting them for 360.

just incase none of you have ever tried them, i recommend Wasabi Peas. i cant eat enough of 'em.

It's funny you mentioned Dragon's Lair... I downloaded & played through it on the PS3 yesterday! And oh, the love affair I had with Heavy Rain - beat the game twice, and I don't remember being so emotionally compelled in a game story. The other Telltale games (Jurassic Park, Back To The Future) were cool, but your choices didn't feel so finite.

And yes, Wasabi Peas are to die for! I can't get anybody at work to try them... cowards!  LOL
