I finished up Clockwork Tales Glass and Ink.  In the end it was just ok.  The bonus section was very short and added nothing to the story or pre-story as it was supposed to be before the main game.  It didnt really make much sense regarding the bad guy.  Played some more Spooky Bonus, so I'm up to level 76 now.  Off to watch some Boardwalk Empire and I'll start a new game later on.

I finished Ballad of Solar because it only has 30 levels! That is the shortest builder TM game I have ever played. The game is set in like 2 or 3 star areas so you do multiple locations within each level but still it was quite short and it surprised me. IF it had more levels, it would have been a 5 star game but I gave it 4 stars instead. 

I remember demoing both Mishaps but I couldn't find the objects and I had to keep using hints and waiting for the meter to fill which I remember was very very slow.

I went to the grocery store today and there were people fighting over pumpkin pies in the bakery section. There were like 30 to pick from and only like 5 people fighting so I didn't really get it. Some were looking for the perfect pie and others wanted a specific date it expired. Why do people get so crazy around the holidays?

Something held me back in getting those Mishap games.  Now I am glad I didn't go for them.  How about Redrum and its sequel?  I held back on those and I know that they are older now, but I think I might want to get them now. 

I started Dream Inn: Driftwood last night while I am waiting for the new MCF game.  I played Dream Inn back when it came out.  I just didn't want to start a involving game at this time.

For this Vast 1/2 off sale there is Strange Discoveries: Aurora Peak. Any thoughts about the CE or SE game. I am leaning towards the SE.

sunshinej, I really liked the morphs, if i remember correctly, in Aurora Peak but they weren't enough for me to get the CE.  I think the reviews said that it was really short, which is what made me decide to stick with the SE.  It was one of the games that I thought about a lot before deciding on the SE.  The graphics are amazing but there are (were?) several glitches, like one of the minigames in the demo.

I've finally finished playing both Sacra Terra games and much preferred the first one.  I was really sorry that there were hardly any links between the two games; they were both set on the same island but on different sides and there was only a mention or two of something linking them, although you eventually found out that both had the same bad guy.  But I enjoyed them both.

I've also finished Finders.  I needed a mindless game as I wasn't up to playing anything that required any sort of memory and this fit the bill perfectly!  It's just mindless, repetitive clicking but boy was it addictive!    And it is loooooooooooooooooong!  I got all the achievements and then, once you've finished the main game, you can continue to play on the last island, as you're continually given new tasks, but the last island is really boring.  I didn't buy it but just played it with my FunPass so for being free it was a great game! 

I also finished playing the CE of Questerium today (also with FunPass on GameHouse).  I really liked the bonus chapter and you get to decide what happens to the baddie at the end ... are you sympathetic or not?  However, after skipping a few minigames (one because of a glitch), I was looking forward to playing them in the Extras but, unfortunately, the 4 bonus puzzles weren't unlocked, even though I'd finished the bonus chapter.  Fortunately, however, I managed to do all those when I was playing.  But I know why it was only offered as an SE on BFG ... there's no SG and no walkthrough available at all, apart from one on YouTube but that is the entire game and you have to sit through entire sections to find the bit you want.  And apparently this one person skipped a puzzle that everyone wanted to find out how to play! 

I don't know what I'll play next.    I'll decide tomorrow.  I've got a few games that I want to play next but I'll see what I'm in the mood for tomorrow.  Oh, and I haven't bought a single game in November!    I don't have any PCCs expiring now until mid December, as I used all those expiring in November during the French double punch offer.  Even though I really liked the beta of the new MCF I can wait to get it.  After all, it's not like I don't have 100s of games all waiting very patiently to be played.

I liked Redrum but not the sequel.  Redrum was one of my very first games, though, and I played the second one just this year so I don't know how well the first one would hold up if I played it again.  Some people didn't like the storyline because it was about a child.  They both also have those scenes where they give you little squares of the scene and you have to find them in the big scene.   Like in MCF Shadow Lake.
