Re: Finish your games challenge
I thought Wendy might not have one since she has been on the road so much and maybe wasn't doing so much buying. If you need one I'd share.

Re: Finish your games challenge

Re: Finish your games challenge
I have finished Grim Tales: The Stonequeen. I didn´t like it at all, thank godness I bought it as a DD. I think I ought to have it as I own all the others. I found it very illogical and have to press the Hint button more than usual 
I also finished Final Cut:Encore CE and like oscar I found it just OK. I expected more.
I have started a new love/hate relationship with Finders. I´m on the second island and am annoyed over many things, but can´t stop playing it (I even ruined a crop in FarmUp because of it 
).
Regarding the sale I have Grim Tales:Bloody Mary , Echoes of the Past: The Kingdom of Despair and Awakening: The Sunhook Spire to choose between, but I think I will wait for the SE of Awakening.
It´s very tempting to wait until Monday, but here in Sweden the magic moment is at 09.00 am and I´m at school (I´m currently unemployed and we have to go to a sort of grown-up daycare to get our money) at that time.

Re: Finish your games challenge
Hi Anki, Congratulations on finishing so many games and thanks for the feedback.
I d/l Finders but have yet to try the demo. If I like it, I will get it on Monday. Is it a game that you would recommend buying? I tried Sunhook Spire and love the graphics. Now I can't decide whether to get the CE or SE.

Re: Finish your games challenge
Question - if I want to try and get both the BOGO and the bonus punch, do I do it right at midnight or does it need to be 12:01am? I figure if it doesn't work then I wasn't meant to get the BOGO games this month and I'll wait till next month. I still have some games I haven't played yet that I really should be playing lol.

Re: Finish your games challenge
catlady, the code will work during the whole of Monday so you don't really have to stay up until past Midnight....not right at midnight, it has to go past midnight into Monday. It seems that BF is holding BOGO sales very frequently now, almost every month, so I'm happy.

Re: Finish your games challenge
Thanks Barregar - I figured I'd do it right as it turned into Monday so I wouldn't miss it. Knowing my luck, I'd wait until I got up and they would have fixed it by then. I'll set my alarm for a little after midnight (3am for me on the east coast), so I don't miss it.
Yes, they have been having a BOGO sale each month it seems.

Re: Finish your games challenge
Barre, regarding Finders, this is definately a try before buy! I didn´t like it at first, didn´t understand a thing but I visited the forums before continuing the trial and then it became clearer . When the trial was over I just had to buy it (with a punchcard credit) I couldn´t even wait for monday One very good thing: it´s untimed!

Re: Finish your games challenge
Anki, so is it like a TM game or is it like Settlement Colossus where you go around collecting resources and building things because SC is like that and it's also untimed. I really enjoy SC.
Catlady, if you're worried, then I suppose you should buy it maybe 10 mins past midnight...I've done that before and it works all the time. I'm going to do that on Monday too (I mean Sunday past midnight).

Re: Finish your games challenge
Barregar - yeah, I'll be doing it a few minutes past midnight. May try and stay up for it and go to bed afterward. 3am est is the cut off time for the deadline for my one work from home job so I'll be trying to get as much work done as I can. We will see how that goes. If I go to bed earlier than that I'll set my alarm and hope it goes off lol.
I've never played Finders or Settlement Colssus before. Is SC similar to The Promised Land? And is Finders similar to the game Pickers? I didn't like Pickers much, it got pretty repetitive after a bit. The Promised Land was okay, just seemed like it took forever to get through.
