I hear you out there snickering, "Randy's really lost it this time, adventure games for lovers." Think about it, though, what better way to spend an evening with a loved one than by sharing the intellectual stimulation of an adventure game? Somehow, the thought of playing Doom 3 and relieving opponents of their limbs just isn't the same.

Besides, and I'll be the first to admit it, our 10 Best Adventure Games That (Almost) No One Has Ever Played is easily our most-read column ever, and similar articles -10 Scariest Games of All-Time, 10 Biggest Turkeys of All Time, 10 Games You Won't Believe, and Son of 10 Games You Won't Believe - have all left our readers clamoring for more (and we have more Top 10 Lists coming soon!), and who am I to say no?

The following games are shared experiences that will bring you intellectually and, hopefully, physically closer to your loved one as you share the wonderment and sexuality of adventure gaming. So snuggle up to your wife or husband, boyfriend or girlfriend, significant other, or, if you are a major computer geek, your favorite blow-up doll. Now dim the lights on that monitor and settle in for an evening of amour.
