I agree with Vince. Gabriel Knight 1-3 were all good, Broken sword 1 and 2 
good as well. I only played the first game in Secret files series. They are 
all strictly adventure games. Not shooters or combat. I mainly only play 
adventure games, I don't do combat games, but I have played a few 
adventure/action such as Twinsen 1 and 2 and American McGee's Alice and 
liked them. You might check out www.gog.com - mostly older PC games, many 
are adventure, and see if you see anything there you like. You can download 
their games and they often have games on sale on weekends.
I don't know if there are any forums or Usenet groups which discuss the 
games you listed on your post, but you might something if you search around. 
This group is mainly only adventure games discussions, though we don't get 
many posts here now.
