Broken Sword: The Shadow of Templars
The Longest Journey
DreamFall
Culpa Innata
Still Life
Broken Sword: The Broken Mirror
I havent added anything new in the list for the last 2 years... I think that aside some really good moments in Memento Mori, Overclocked and maybe Black Mirror 2, there hasnt been any recent game with the qualities to acommpany those listed above. I've been quite dissapointed with adventure games the past year or so... I'm craving for a real good story but nothing has really matched my expectations lately.
Playing: Skyrim (ongoing)
Last Finished: can't recall, been too long.

Status : Offline | Since you liked Return to Mysterious Island, you might check the other games made by ***Kheops Studios***.
You didn't mention ***Keepsake***. Overall I liked Keepsake (except for the annoying way it interrupted you while the characters repeated the same conversations you'd already heard before and the way it overwrote saves so you couldn't go back and replay earlier parts of the game).
The Sherlock Holmes games from Frogwares are worth looking at. They're all different, so if you try one and don't like it you still might like one of the others. You can get them for a low price at ***Big Fish***.
I enjoyed Dracula Origin, also made by Frogwares. It's not connected to the other Dracula games (Dracula Resurrection, Dracula Last Sanctuary, and Dracula III: Path of the Dragon).
You might like the games made by City Interactive:
Art of Murder: Cards of Destiny
Art of Murder: FBI Confidential
Art of Murder: Hunt for the Puppeteer
Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual
Chronicles of Mystery: The Tree of Life
None of them are stand-outs the way Longest Journey or Still Life are, but they're still enjoyable.
If you liked And Then There Were None, try Murder on the Orient Express and Evil Under the Sun. I liked the 3rd one the best.
The Lost Crown had one of the best stories I've seen in recent games. It doesn't have a definitive ending, and the story will be continued in the upcoming game, The Last Crown.
Overclocked is by the maker of Moment of Silence.
