Zombie Solitaire, You who have it: the final cut-scene is very funny, it made me LOL...
Dark Cases was very good, a good story, it kept me immersed the whole time, the puzzles were sometimes hard but doable.
Questerium was also good. I missed two achievements. One was for not getting all the money and I guess that I missed some in a Ho-scene somewhere because I found all the secrets. The second made me grumpy, it was for not skip any puzzle. And I DID do all of them, some were devilishly hard but I really was determined to do them
Now I ´m playing Haunted Hotel: Eclipse CE, it´s rather boring but I play it in small pieces
Congrats on finishing so many again. I have Zombie Solitaire, Blood Ruby, and Sinister Trinity. and I'm happy to hear that they are all good games. I didn't buy Haunted Hotel Eclipse.....I never bought any of the previous Haunted Hotel games.
I feel so slow compared to you...

Glad you got your email straightened out Tirama. I'm still on the fence about JANE AUSTEN.
Are you hesitaating because BF doesn't have a walkthrough? Here's a link to a walthrough provided on the developer's site

lilyr...Look under the T's It starts with a The Curse of the Werewolves. Sorry, I shortened the title.
Tirama...I was just looking at my recent posts and reviews at BF and there was a current posting in the Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock forum so I made a comment to them. What surprised me was that he actually responded back. And this game is 2 years old. It doesn't matter what game I am currently playing I will take a look in that forum just to read the comments and I also try to write a review or to see if anyone is stuck.

Tirama -- thanks for the link to the WT for Jane Austen.
Sunshinej -- Thanks for the THE
Anki -- What barregar said. You sure do seem to finish a lot of games! At the rate I'm going I think the 2 I've finished so far this month will be it.
Wendy -- I'll try the SE then. That means I won't have to spend any money! I thought your post aout Hondo and BFG was reasonable. Hondo's title was Social Media and Community Manager. Maybe he's bumped up to a better job or maybe he left BFG or maybe BF finally took notice that leaving the weekly preview with him was pissing off too many people.

Finished Jane Austen's: Estate of Affairs. It was rather short, and rather easy, and rather old style, but rather pleasant.
If people believe that BF doesn't care about the customers, why would they fire Hondo for pissing people off? Because of the terseness of his post, however, I do think he was pushed rather than he jumped, but I don't expect BF to reveal the names of people they've let go. There has been some new people brought in/reshuffled/promoted/whatever.
And you'll have to excuse me if I don't join in wishing a return to the good old days of sales twice a month. I'd miss Bonus Punch Mondays, and don't want to see it go and return as an occasional week end promo with the old limit of 6 BP's.
Since the only sale I care about is CE BOGO's (other than the Holy Grail of Sales, discounted Game Club Credits), I'd hate to see how long I'd have to wait between sales. 6 months? Yikes! I'd hate to have to demo and compare 6 months worth of CE's over a weekend and rank them and figure out how many to buy? I wouldn't buy as many games as I would with more frequent sales, and I'd wind up canceling my account between sales, so BF would make less money from me with less frequent sales. Heck, I might decide to just cancel my account altogether and play free-to-play games and then BF would make nada from me, should they return to fewer sales, which would mostly consist of the old $4.99 for SE's that was the usual offering.
Actually, canceling and just playing what I already own and free-to-play might be just the thing to finally get caught up. Somthing I'll have to give more thought to for the new year.

First off I agree with Tirama on the BFG issues. Other than chatting here versus there things haven't changed to much for me. I still read reviews of new games there and reviews of games that I am playing or going to play and I comment occasionally and reply if someone is stuck etc. Even in the older forums as I am so far behind in games. The only change is I tend to come here first before going to see the TGT etc. I haven't required customer service recently so I can't comment on whether that has changed. But I don't see what if any promises have been broken. I think I look at it as it is a business and if what they try to do is an epic fail or not lucrative they have to cut it loose and move on. I don't particularly miss the CCC as I found some threads a little cliquey and unwelcoming, and sometimes very silly and childish. But that's just my opinion and not a knock on those posters, just not my thing. I love the sales and can't resist a good BOGOF! Bonus punch Mondays are a good selling point as well. I guess the bottom line for me is I'm still pretty happy with them. I'm not sure what post Hondo made about leaving but I always felt quite bad for him. Some posters got pretty nasty with him with the review and forum thread. The anonymity of a keyboard can bring out the worst I people. I'm still glad I bought my first Jumbo Membership! I look back in my list and think jeppers I paid 19.99 for that game! Lol
Well thank you all who recommended Sirens Call! Wow so far what an immersing game. So much to do and be on the look out for.m you definitely can't get all those achievements since one is for all mahjong games and one for all HO scenes. My only complainant. I love how from the get go the game is featured with Calliope listening into a shell regarding volume versus the usual speaker. I just really love Artifex Mundi's games. Some different puzzles, and the tiered puzzles, simple, but do one, then another, then another to form the pictures. It was easy but I was like ohh another one and another right under it. A little joy. Can't wait to play more tonight.

I tried today's M3, Call of the Ages by Playrix, and I really like it. You go through 8 different time zones in 8 different countries. I like the colorful icons and they change with each different country. This time there is a relaxed mode unlike their previous Call of Atlantis games. The game also has achievements and they didn't have achievements in their previous games but I can't remember for sure....it's been so long since I played the Atlantis series I am definitely getting it next month since I have already completed my Oct. card.

oscar66 - glad you're enjoying Sirens Call.
I just looked at Gamezebo again. The last time they reviewed a game that's being sold on BF was on Oct 2. The game was Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood Collector's Edition. And that game was released on BF Sept 27. Released even earlier on the developer's site. I miss not having that site to get another perspective on which games might be worth checking out.
I think I'm going to play Sable Maze: Norwich Caves Collector's Edition next.
I've finished 7 games so far this month. At the beginning of the month, I didn't think I would do that well, now there's an outside chance I could break even for the month. Just need to finish 3 more.

I couldn't resist playing just a little more. I am supposed to be working. That's the problem with working from home, now I'll be at it until 8pm. So I played just for 1/2hr and I'm just about to embark on the journey thru the shipwrecks, but need to find the missing part of the blunderbus and make some sort of torch first. ( I assume) It really is a good game and gorgeous graphics.
I haven't played that Sable Maze yet either. I'll look for your comments. Compared to last month I have one more completed and considering that it is only the 23rd I'll probably finish a couple more. I still haven't finished Green Moon.
Now I really am off to do the invoicing.

I can relate to the part of working from home, Oscar. I have a tendency to procrastinate and play games or watch Youtube more than work. Especially if my deadlines are far enough where I can. Makes it hard sometimes to get work done. I need to learn to focus more.
