Adventurish games

fivemackI've played, with great enjoyment, graphical adventure games from Day of the Tentacle to Discworld Noir, by way of Grim Fandango and Curse of Monkey Island. Are such things still made?
A cursory look around GAME at the weekend failed to show me any games of that form, and I couldn't even work out what there was that would be a single-player first-person not-pure-shoot-em-up game with a plot - Little Big Adventure, Flashback were ones of those that I liked, in what is I fear now the far past. Half-Life 2 had too little plot and too much shooting for my taste; Oblivion sounds as if it might appeal, but I've often had trouble finding the plot-line among the universe in that kind of free-flowing RPG, and got bored. I might well like a big-world lots-of-little-missions game, if any existed with a more pleasant world-view than the GTA series or Canis Canem Edit: do they?
