I'm having a bit of a problem, what game to buy.
I am thinking of one of the following:
MDK2
Gabriel Knight : Sins of the fathers
Sanitarium
The Pandora directive

The reason I choosed those games was because they looked interesting, and got a very high rating.
What game do you prefer? Why?
Thanks for advance
Don't call me cheap or anything. I just have limited resources and I try not to send over $10 on games each month.

Jaime: It should be noted that some people find the voice of the narrator and/or Gabriel annoying. Those people are crazy. Check out the Youtube link to see if you're one of them:

He signed up before they made the rule of videos being only 10 minutes.

Director's Accounts have not had that limitation bestowed upon them as of yet.
Coincidentally, Cubex55 is my favourite Youtube account.

Stuff: I think he should go with Painkiller and get the best of both worlds . . . =)

I already got Painkiller :P
I haven't played MDK2, but I've played the other 3, and I'd say Gabriel Knight. I'm only in day 3 and it might be my favourite adventure game of all time. The Pandora Directive is great too, if you can't get it now you must try it sometime. Sanitarium is okay, but I don't like it as much as everyone else.

The accent is grating and it seems to randomly switch off at times, even when Gabriel isn't stressed out or supposedly trying to alter his voice. The narrator/UI voice is a bit annoying as well, some things are really hard to understand (good thing there are subtitles).
Kinda makes me happy that I have the 3.5" disc version (lacks voices). It is a good game.

I'll give you that Curry's accent is iffy, though I don't find him annoying. But come on, the narrator lady is awesome.
Say what you want, but I'm looking forward to playing Gabriel Knight eventually (when I find the time) particularly to hear Tim Curry. I must admit I'm a huge fan of his.
He was so cool in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
