stusue -- Thanks for what you said about JANE ANGEL2. I really don't like most adventure games -- wandering around not knowing what to do or where to go. I tend to like more of the games that Wendy likes -- only a few scenes to visit, jump maps that have tasks noted. It also sound as though the new ERS will be an SE buy.

NP, Lily, I wanted to let you know about the wandering around in Jane Angel 2 as I didn't think that would be your cup of tea. But you could always demo it just to see. You might surprise yourself!
And, yes, I haven't found any reviews of the completed ERS game yet so I have no idea what the bonus is like. So, until I hear that it's a super bonus chapter, I'm also only considering the SE.

There doesn't seem to be any Gamehouse sale for Mother's Day, or am I missing it?. Most everyone seems to love Witch's Pranks so I was considering getting the PE there. I have 2 PCCs and my month is almost over so I'm also considering using them tomorrow along with a couple Customer Service Coupons and getting a free game along with it. Tomorrow will be a busy day, though, because we'll be traveling to the next spot and it's a new one so it will take longer than normal to get situated.

Wendy, yes everyone - except me - seems to love Witch's Pranks.
GameHouse has had a 40% off sale since Thursday, which ends today (although their codes normally work 24 hours after their sales end, just like BFG.
Code: TASTY

I've just posted a demo review of Lost Souls: Timeless Fables CE by Fenomen Games. You can find the full demo review in my demo review thread. My recommendation as posted is as follows:
My Recommendation:
I can’t recommend the CE as I simply don’t think one more book (which one reviewer said was short, uninteresting, and had nothing to do with the storyline), a few collectible coins (no morphing objects), and a few simple achievements warrant double the price. The main game ends conclusively as the four books you do in the main game complete the artifact.
I recommend the SE for those who really like the demo, and who don’t mind simply clicking on the jump map to get around, with simple HOSs and puzzles.
I don’t recommend either the SE or CE for anyone like me, who hates using the jump map as you can’t wander around and thus, for me, can’t get immersed in the game, or who wants a challenging game. Had you been able to wander around and not have to use the jump map I would have considered the SE as I loved the graphics and the storyline (as much as I saw in the bit of the demo I played).

I have finally finished Olympus Griddlers. I didn´t like it very much. Some of the boards (as usual with 8 floor) had no evident solution ,so I had to use the hint button. I must have 3 stars on every board
I also finished Emberwing: Lost Legacy CE. I t was rather fun, but it was very annoying that you must hit the exact spot when you were doing something like cutting a string from a harp. It said nice try so I thought it was wrong and checked the SG and then had to try about 5-6 times before managing! This happened sevel times On top of that it was a glitch in the BC (which they corrected later, but I didn´t bother enough to redownload) so I couldn´t even finish the game! Very unlike BoomZap!

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day ~ had a nice visit with my mom and my oldest, Brent, spent the afternoon with me, chatting, eating Rib Crib and watching the OKC Thunder/Clippers game which we lost in the last 5 secs. My youngest, Brad, took his family to see the Texas Rangers play Boston Red Sox in Texas and it was my grand kids first MLB game. So jealous as the Rangers are my favorite baseball team.
Actually been playing some of my "paid for" games and have put the FTP games aside for now. I just forget to go in and out daily (already do that on my challenge games) and the quests, esp in AK with all the mini-games/resources needed remind me too much of my FB experience, to the point I was just wasting a lot of time and not getting very far. I have so many games and I was feeling the urge to play them so it's been fun getting immersed in those. So far, I finished The Others (B-) which I really enjoyed, Christmas Stories: A Christmas Carol CE (A-) which I loved although I missed a lot of penguins, think I forgot to look for them at first, and A Wizard's Curse (B) which I also enjoyed a lot. I know a lot of people complained about how short it was and my one gripe, was the abrupt ending. I was sure I needed to go back and restore the victims and when it ended, I thought I had goofed somehow. I got it as a DD so I felt like I got my money's worth. I started The Jolly Gang's Spooky Adventure, an oldie of mine and kinda quirky but I read it's short so that'll get it off my list.
Think I may concentrate on some of the older, shorter games and actually remove them from my externals and tag them on my schedule as uninstalled so I won't have so many in the GM. When I look through to pick something, I can't remember if I've played some of them or not; my senioritis kicking in from time to time.

Does anyone see any indication of today being Bonus Punch Monday? I don't see it when I go into BF today.

I finished Riddles of The Mask and got Magic Heroes: Save Our Park with a pcc today. I'll probably play my new game next.

I cashed in my 2 PCCs and a couple of Customer Service coupons to fill a card, then cancelled my membership again. I acquired
Demon Hunter
Dark Tales House of Usher
Final Cut 3 Homage
Tales from Dragon Mountain 2 The Lair
I'm waiting to use the PCC I just got, I have several possibilities but don't know if I want the SE or wait and splurge on the CE. My credits are getting low, but maybe I should stay a member for the summer while I'm making money and slowly build them up again.
