It is, as you may have noticed, 2011. Therefore we ask, possibly a few months too late, who you have the most faith in for 2011. Will LucasArts make a comeback? Or will Double Fine keep up its string of goodness? Maybe Telltale's 345 games is more to your liking, or is there a bigger chance that Charlie Sheen will keep on winning? Then there's Autumn Moon of course.
But don't read this, go over there! And vote!

While my comment was meant as a little provocation, it's not far from the truth. Modern indie games like Machinarium, Gemini Rue, Time Gentlemen Please!, The Dream Machine, the Blackwell series are more fun and better designed than most of games made by companies from the Mojo poll.
Dude, yeah, Gemini Rue is freaking awsome. The best point & click adventure I have played in a long while. I havent played any of the other games that guy has made, I only played Gemini because of a shacknews article on it, but it was great, highly recommend all mojo readers to check it out

Also, I'm starting to think that Charlie Sheen might have been a joke answer... does he even make adventure games any more?
Not since he contributed the ctrl+w cheat to the Secret of Monkey Island :(
That was one of the funniest moments in the game! I believe that worked in most LucasArts games since then. A similar animation happens in Firefox and Chrome, although that sometimes glitches.

Lucasarts is too much of a business to consistently appeal to the same audience.
Autumn Moon isn't enough of a business to release games properly.
Charlie Sheen hasn't made a decent game in years.
Double Fine are moving forwards without constantly trying to please shareholders.
So yeah, Double Fine wins. While I don't think they'll be serving up any real adventure games in the foreseeable future, I do think that they're extremely innovative and creative, and every game of theirs I've ever played has been superb.
Whatever Ron Gilbert's up to, though, I trust him to make a good game or two in the future as well.

I can only assume you're talking about low resolution and ripped sprites here. As opposed to actual writing. ¬

Telltale has been letting me down as of lately. Lucasarts hasn't done anything good in years (although the Monkey Island 2 SE came close, even though it's still ripping of previous succes.) I liked Autumn Moon's Vampyre Story but it's surprise cliffhanger ending got to me and I haven't played anything of it since and I haven't played a Double Fine game ever...
Charlie Sheen seems to be the only winner here.
Bad Asp!
Surprise! I voted for LucasArts. I hope that they are the company that has made a deal with GOG.com to release 25 games from its library, and I hope that Sam and Max Hit the Road is among them.
Fingers crossed!
Agreed, but Lucas has both physically and mentally abused me over the years, so much, that I do not believe it will be them.
Would it rock socks? Yes.
Do I think it will happen? No.
Fingers crossed!

In general indie games of today tend to be better and even more LucasArtsy than the ones from said companies (at least from the ones that are coming out on the PC).

I wanted to vote for LucasArts. But this is about faith, not optimism, so hello Double Fine my old friend.
Replace Lucasarts with Telltale and that's pretty much my opinion this year.
