Navagon: No, Lucasarts. :p
ah, I'm not really interested in lucasarts.

If it's not LucasArts, then the only real option would be The Longest Journey. Even if you consider other adventure-related genres (like RPGs), you get the following options:
System Shock 2
Thief: The Dark Project
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell
Planescape: Torment
The Longest Journey
A nice list indeed, but the only game in that list that fits in "lots of people haven't heard of it" is TLJ. Maybe Planescape: Torment would fit, but I don't think GOG would announce it as an adventure, so there you have it.

Wolfox: System Shock 2
Thief: The Dark Project
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell
Planescape: Torment
The Longest Journey

No, each of those games has a genre listed on their metacritic page, and none of those games fall into the adventure genre on there.
You have to be really reaching for all of those games other than TLJ to call them adventure games.
They're mostly shooters, with an RPG mixed in

Hence why I said "even if you consider other adventure-related genres (like RPGs), you get the following options". Keep in mind that GOG never said that the "adventure" classification is the Metacritic one - in the game catalogue, among the games classified as "adventure" in GOG, you'll find the following:
Arx Fatalis
Die By The Sword
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
Earthworm Jim
Gothic 2
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
If that's not "stretching", I don't know what it is. :-)
Also, allow me to point out what I said right after the said list in my original post:
"A nice list indeed, but the only game in that list that fits in "lots of people haven't heard of it" is TLJ."
So, can we agree to agree? ;-)

Miaghstir: I also "borrowed" a copy... would buy at once.

Unless you have a 64-bit operating system you can play Psychonauts free on GameTap.

And therein lies the catch.

Without exaggerating, I'd say it is super awesome. I'll buy it again if it is released here.

I'll board a slightly different train and say the writing, story and voiceacting is super awesome, but the puzzles are, by and large, stupid.
