Your name is Leon and you're sister is ill with an incurable terminal illness... the only thing that may cure her is touching the magical sturgeon, which is lost somewhere on a remote island. Such is the unlikely story of
Leon & The Magic Sturgeon, which wins an award for most bizarre plot in a
point'n'click game [

As an antidote to
George And the Demon, i.e. if you don't like all the swearing,
Courage The Cowardly Dog does the trick. It's a very cute kids'
point'n'click adventure. Well actually you have to use the keyboard more than pointing and clicking, but it's the same sort of game. Enjoy [

Ok, first up, before I go any further, despite the childish looking graphics
George And The Demon has some fairly adult language in it. So if you are easily offended, a bit young, or your boss is looking over your shoulder - don't bother. If you do want to play,
George And The Demon involves you controling George after he's summoned up a demon and it's all gone a bit wrong (who would have thought?). George swears, the demon swears, and most people you meet swear. It's kind of a
point'n'click'n'swear game [

And the award for "worst graphics in a
point'n'click game" goes to...
The Quest For Ikambokem. Having to go back to the beginning when you screw up is a bit irritating too, but hey, other than that it's ok, and we do like to
point'n'click don't we? [

Some post halloween spookiness for you in
The Last Half Of Darkness, an eerie
point'n'click adventure. I think the supposed spooky atmosphere would be boosted a bit by the addition of some sound, unless it's just not working on the PC I'm at, which is perfectly possible, although I'm guessing to get sound you have to buy the full version which gets advertised alongside this freebie on-line version. I won't be rushing out to buy it I'm afraid. Well, actually, I'm not afraid, more to the point [

Definately in the category of "difficult", due to the language,
Memory is a great looking
point'n'click game, I especially like the cut scenes as you move, although there is an incredibly long load time at the begining to get through before you get all this graphical lovliness (and that medusa statue thing is rather to detailed and eerie for my liking). I'm still looking around all the rooms at the moment, but I'm assuming we have to "escape the apartment", I can't tell for certain because of the language thing, but you know how it is with these
point'n'click things, you usually have to escape
something.
Death In Sakkara is a
point'n'click adventure from the
BBC which lets you learn some history while you are playing. It's rather beautiful to look at, but there's quite a lot of 'talking', which I know not everyone likes in these things, but it doesn't bother me too much. I also liked being transported to Egypt because it's a rainy, dark, day here in
London today (that link shows the nearest web cam to where I work!). Anyway, enjoy your travels...
BlivOfficer is a
point'n'click game, but I'm too busy playing the sub-game, "guess the language", to work out the pointy and clicky bits right now. I'm tending towards something Scandinavian - in fact I'm going to guess "Norwegian", I think they have those "o"'s with a strike through them like old skool computer zeros. Guesses upon language and gameplay in the
comments as usual [

Update: Darn it's Danish - I was wrong - thanks folks.
You are out trick or treating in your ghost costume when it starts raining. What are you to do? Take refuge in the big scary house of course! Oh dear, the door shuts behind you and you are trapped. Well, I didn't see that coming.
Jinx might not have the most original storyline in the world, it might be immensely easy to work out the puzzles (really they are very easy), but it's also oh so cute. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was playing - brighten up a few minutes of your Tuesday with
Jinx.
Update: I even liked the cheesy ending. I can't wait for episode 2, no matter how easy this was.
The
first submachine was very popular so I was pleased to hear from murtaugh that there is now a
new extended version:
If you've played Submachine before and think you've seen it all... think again. In this extended version there are twice as many rooms to explore and twice the fun. Solve the new puzzle and see the altered ending.take a sneak preview of the Submachine 2 before its even finished.
If you're an submachine addict already, think of this as a warm up for the sequel to this game.

Ankh is a puzzle in a
not pr0n style with pretty graphics - which is no bad thing [
via nordinho].
It's
not not pr0n, but
This Is Not Po*n. But it's not dis-similar. Right that's enough nots they're getting me in knots, much like this puzzler that's not (I said that was enough "nots" - ed) a
point'n'click game, but that kind of brain will definately come in handy. Not. Arrrrggggh! [
