Excellent topic Sheriff, I will have to give this some thought as I am one to really research games and tend to get the ones that interest me before I buy. I do understand exactly what you topic refers to and get back to this thread.
EDIT:I have come up with this Classic that I think is way overrated and much to the dismay of many of the GB Members here...The Longest Journey.....Ouch...who did that...hey, somebody just slapped me in the back of my head...stop it. For me it was the Longest convoluted bore!
