I read #8 as Dr. Lulz and the Time Travel Machine.

Soup is...something

A lot of these games look really good... I can't wait to try them.

Excellent round-up and shockingly I haven't played quite a few of these lovely offerings. Thanks & cheers Tim!

Huh? "Best Freeware Adventure Games 2007"?

...then why is Passage on the list?

I mean - I enjoyed it for the short while it lasted, but it's more of an idea than a game.
...no wait, it's actually not really much of a game at all.

Again, I enjoyed it, but it doesn't belong under this heading.

If you're after adventure games that are a little different, I humbly offer up Ultimate Quest. It won one of our development competitions last year and should push a few of the old adventuring buttons with good writing and scurrilous humor...

It would be nice to know the reasons behind the order of these games. Why is Fedora Spade the best, etc?
