Adventure games for the 360?

I'm looking for some games with the classic point & click adventure flavor... for the Xbox 360.
Things like Dreamfall: the Longest Journey and the Monkey Island remake. Are there other games you'd recommend that would fit into the old-school adventure genre?

I believe the Wallace and Grommit games are adventure games, though I've never played them myself.

Axel and Pixel is another one that's getting pretty good reviews.

You could try downloading the demo for the CSI game and see if you like it. I wouldn't go far as to recommend it, but it is in the style of classic adventure games.

The Sam and Max games are on xbox live arcade. Though personally I can't deal with the whole using a console controller for a point and click game thing, the series is really quite good on pc.

The list of 360 adventure games seems to be pretty short, so you're likely to run across a recommendation for Indigo Prophecy; proceed with caution. It's heavily story-driven and has a lot of classic adventure game elements, but the core game mechanism is the infamous Quick Time Event--I found it to be deeply annoying. Not recommended.
Syberia II for Xbox is on the backward compatibility list, and is a well-regarded traditional adventure game. Haven't played it yet, but it's on my list.

The CSI games are very classic point and click, but they aren't very good. Also, the first one is probably the most awful pun-filled game I've ever played. I think every single line was designed to be said by Caruso right before he puts on the sunglasses and YEEEAAHHHH! Seriously awful writing.
