Anybody know any puzzle games similar to Safecracker, Myst or Schizm but for the Xbox 360? I can't seem to find anything comparable.

MONKEY ISLAND, SAM AND MAX POINT AND CLICK GAMES

I love point and click games. I wish Myst would come out for the 360.

Similar games?

Hey folks,

I'm looking for games of similar genre where there's a lot of adventure involving exploration of a beautiful city (other ex: Fable2, Dreamfall) ... minus the killings. So pretty much adventure/fantasy games with a plot that involves theft/puzzle instead
of violence. Any such games exist for xbox 360? A perfect example would be Myst (but more graphically enhanced) which unfortunately doesn't exist for xbox 360. Any ideas folks?

"Sherlock Holmes vs Jack The Ripper". Made by Frogware. Really awful graphics but very good puzzles and forensic crime scene analysis. Decent story too working closely with actual factual "Jack the Ripper" historical evidence.

"Grey Matter". I forget who made this. Another "point and click" pc game that was ported to the XBox. Resonable job but I have to confess I found this game to be about as exciting as a glass of water.

"Darksiders II" has puzzles but this is a "connect the dots" game that is designed to make you feel like you are solving classic puzzles in the style of Zelda but instead offering you a puzzle difficulty on par with tying your shoe.

"Assassin's Creed II" has some decent puzzles for you to solve as you discover hidden "Glyphs" in the Animus.

"Battle vs Chess" - Good luck finding a copy but the A.I. is decent and playing against humans is always a challenge.

Barring these do a search on Amazon for "Hanayama Equa" and "Hanayama Enigma". These are old school cast metal puzzles that will tease your brain and keep you going for a while.

Hope that helps.

I know this answer won't be popular but you'll find the majority of those kind of games on PC.

When I was a kid, I loved playing old text games like Zork, and absolutely loved Myst. I'm hoping that Cyan will one day remaster Myst and release it on the Xbox One.

Myst type gaming.

Loved it!

Definitely more point and click puzzle/adventure games and MYST! I've been wanting this on Xbox for years lol.
