The new update for the point & click 2D adventure game authorware, Wintermute Engine(WME), is out as of today. The coolest new feature is the introduction of realtime 3D object support. Now, games with prerendered or handdrawn backgrounds can be combined with 3D models, and I believe WME is the only software of its kind that has the feature.

Examples of such games using this technique are Syberia, Syberia II, Resident Evil(0-3), Grim Fandango, Escape from Monkey Island, Discworld Noir, Final Fantasy VII-IV, and many others.
