First and foremost: I humbly apologize to TiramaSue. I have been butchering the spelling of your name in several posts. It was unintentional and I'm so very sorry.
Games being Released on BFG the week of November 17 - 23, 2014:
PC and MAC
Surface: Game of Gods CE ----- When your friends, Jim, Kevin and Maggie, invite you to participate in a paid research study, you jump at the chance. You arrive to find your But things take a bizarre turn when , and Maggie has just been abducted by a horrific figure. A strange game is laid out on the table and every move could mean certain death. But you have no choice, you'll have to play to save your friends' lives as well as your own.
For the last 2 weeks in a row, BFG and Jessica have announced the release of Vampire Legends: The Untold Story of Elizabeth Bathoy. Because, in Jessica's own words, she is "0 for 2", she wasn't going to give a game description. However, I will ... because .... well .... just because I can copy and paste it from my previous notes and NOT have to resort to old-school shorthand and take yet more copious notes.
And while poor Jessica (I'll bet she's been getting a LOT of grief over the "non-releases") wouldn't exactly "commit" to the "promise" of this release, she DID say if it didn't come out this week, it would .......... "eventually". What a riot! I, for one, LOVE watching these videos.
Vampire Legends: The Untold Story of Elizabeth Bathory CE: ----- Based on the horrifying true story of Elizabeth Bathory, the world's most prolific serial killer. A wealthy lord enlists your help in rescuing his daughter who was last seen near the Countess' mansion. But what you find in your search is truly terrifying.
IMO, a better job could have been done putting together this game. Google the Countess Elizabeth Bathory to read multiple articles about the real-life "Blood Countess". Those articles DO give a lot of terrifying and horrific history. Do YOU dare read these real-life accounts?????
iPHONE and iPAD
Royal Detective: Queen of Shadows CE ----- The Princess made some mistakes in the past, not always using her magic for good. But she’s worked to make amends, and that’s all forgiven now, or so she thought. She has finally found her mother after five long years. But just as Princess runs to embrace her, a band of thuggish trees kidnap her mother!
You’re the royal detective she came to know so well, and you’re Princess’ only hope. She’s still just a girl, and her magic isn’t quite strong enough to defeat the villain who’s taken her mother. Help reunite them – and uncover a devious plot by an evil king and his brother.
Dark Tales: Edgar Allen Poe the Fall of the House of Usher CE ----- You and your colleague, Detective Dupin, have accepted an odd case at the ancient House of Usher – to find the twin sister of Roderick, who has vanished without a trace. As you delve deeper into the mystery, the connection between the twin’s malady and the old estate appears even more entwined. Why are townspeople disappearing? What secret is locked in the forbidden library? And can you and Dupin find the answers before more innocent victims are claimed?
Android devices

You've traveled for days to reach a castle hidden deep in the Carpathian Mountains only to discover you've been asked to join the mysterious League of Light, a secret group dedicated to fighting dark forces. You've barely said yes before you're sent on your first mission, to investigate a beast that is terrorizing the mountain village of Sorrow's Well. Is this beast real? Who's behind it? What's really going on in the Dark Lord's castle on the hill? No one ever said being in the League would be easy! Face supernatural beasts in this exciting new series from BigFish.
There was a plethora of gaming info that I felt would be more appropriate posted in POND NEWS. Doesn't that follow something under "author's discretion"? So, while you're waiting for these new game releases, please hop on over there and read it for more gaming info, a GIVE-A-WAY and a CONTEST with a prize given away by yours truly ...... me ...... freyasmom.
See you next week!

CE Games Being Released by BFG the week of November 24 - 30, 2014:
FYI: Jessica was not on "Jessica's Playlist" video today. Poor Carlos had to "wing it" without her. Nah, it wasn't THAT bad! Sigh. Actually, it really was THAT bad. There were NO game descriptions except for those given below. I've tried to round up better descriptions for you. Apparently, Jessica is busy doing all sorts of exciting things with all the new things happening at BFG these days. She WILL be back with us .... next week. And here I thought she was taking a much-deserved vacation from Carlos. NO I MEAN FROM BFG! FROM BFG! Filter ... fingers ... filter.
PC and MAC
Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove, Sacred Grove Collector’s Edition ---- Cool, mysterious, cold and you know a lot about it already. Of course, we all know the release date is November 25th.
Game Description Found by freyasmom: ----- Dire Grove has been plunged into a record-defying cold, and wild animals threaten at every turn! You've been called in to uncover the source of the town's troubles. You quickly find yourself in the middle of a feud between the local hunters and the Mistwalkers who live in the woods. Pick your gender and use an innovative deduction mechanic as you try to discover the secret behind Dire Grove's curse.
Here's a tiny tidbit I picked up on why BFG thinks MCF is such a huge success as a series: ENJOY!
Mystery Case Files© has long been the most beloved hidden object adventure series by Big Fish fans, and for good reason. These games were among the very first that casual gamers experienced in the hidden object genre and are known for amazing storylines, innovative puzzles and impeccable art. Arguably, the Mystery Case Files© series represents the gold-standard for hidden object adventure games.
ALSO: Did you know?????
The Celtic legend of Dire Grove has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries.Considered a fairytale, its telling was common at campfires and as a bedtime story meant to frighten small children into staying in their beds through the night. However, a recently unearthed artifact in the United Kingdom corroborates the legend and so begins a journey of survival for a small band of graduate students in the secluded resort of Dire Grove.
I do pretty good research, huh????
Fishdom: Depths of Time Collector’s Edition ---- A match 3 type game, where you go into a deep-sea world, travel through time and decorate a fish tank.
Game Description Found by freyasmom: ----- Dive into the all-new game in the legendary Fishdom series! Submerge into the unique deep-sea world with your amusing aquatic buddies that will never let you feel bored! Take care of them, watch them play with each other, as you travel in time through different epochs. Decorate your fish tanks with over 150 exclusive ornaments and 8 immersive backgrounds. Enjoy 250 new match-3 levels with perfected mechanics. Your pets are waiting for you, go check them out!
iPHONE and iPAD (I think):
Lost Lands: Dark Overlord Collector’s Edition ---- A woman has her son sucked into a portal. The intro is really cool and the portal looks very "portal like".
Game Description Found by freyasmom: ------ Susan had just stepped away to answer the phone, but when she returned she saw something pulling her son Jimmy through a shimmering portal. It closed before she could pull him back. To save him, she must find a way to this other world. Before Susan lies a world that no one else has ever seen before... a world where magic is real and anything is possible. Find out who took Jimmy and what they want in Lost Lands: Dark Overlord!
That's it for this week's info from "Jessica's Playlist" (minus Jessica) AND freyasmom (because I DID get better game descriptions than Carlos I get equal billing ).
I hope you all have a lovely week and a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
