In July I finished 2 SE's and 3 CE's.

I played 850 of the 875 levels of Clutter Infinity: Joe's Ultimate Quest decided that I was done.  It had stopped being fun for quite a while and I was left with the variations I hated.  I could have hinted my way through some of them, but life's too short.

The other SE I finished was Magic Wings, a nonogram game.  It was pretty easy, but it had a little bit of a story about an owlet that wanted to study under Merlin, and you used the coins you earned to furnish Merlin's room.

I had hoped to get caught with the Haunted Hotel series, but when I was halfway done, Midnight Castle gave us a Castle Challenge.  The 3 games I finished were:  Haunted Hotel: Silent Waters Collector's Edition, Haunted Hotel: The Thirteenth Collector's Edition,  and Haunted Hotel: Personal Nightmare Collector's Edition.

Silent Waters had a creepy scary vibe, but you're never told anything about the character you play.  You're just some random guy who has a car accident and gets dragged off to the hotel.  You have no connection to the people you "have" to rescue.  The bonus chapter is a prequel, and I think you play as a character whose remains you find during the main game.  Didn't love this game.

In The Thirteenth, your character gets killed and you're a ghost, sort of, and you have to rescue your son before he gets killed.  The bonus chapter takes place 20 years later and you play as the son who has to rescue his father.  This game had a better story line - two feuding families.

I liked Personal Nightmare the best of the three games.  You play as Steve Blake and you have to rescue your mother and sister, who disappeared 20 years ago.  In the Bonus Chapter, you learn what happened to your father.  James appears in this game and calls you his old friend and mentions how it's like old times working together.  James is at the same hotel because he's got to rescue his cousin Mary, who's there to rescue her fiancé Frank, or maybe it was Frank who was there to rescue Mary.  The game is set in 1958.  The timeline involving James is so confusing because the first game started out in the late 1800's and James's friend was a woman.  Can't remember which game in the series made the leap to the 1950's and gave James a male friend.  Like this game the best of the three - probably because I like the character James, even if I do seem to spend a lot of time rescuing him.

I'm hoping to finish the next three games in the series this month, but it will be difficult with the CC going on and the weather has been horrendous - thunderstorms just about every day.

Acquired six more SE's, so another month where I ended up with more games than I started with,  


 

Tirama -- I finished about as many games in INFINITY as you did. Like you, there were a couple more I could have done, but couldn't be bothered. I won't buy the new game.

Anki -- I always marvel at the number of games you finish, an I appreciate your comments on them too.

July was dismal for me. I only finished 2 SEs -- and one was a repeat.  The "new" one was VIKING BROTHERS 4 and I didn't enjoy that all that much. I probably won't get the next one (these are TM). They seemed too repetitive to me. I liked the NORTHERN TALE TMs much more.
And I fell further behind too. I bought 3 SEs and 3CEs. The good news is that all the SEs and one CE were free and the other 2 CEs were a BOGO.

I was dreading looking up August, since I've only been playing old games. The good news is that I didn't buy any! 

sunshinej -- There was some game at BFG recently that said if you liked My Brother Rabbit, you'll love this. Of course I can't remember the name, but I'm pretty sure it came out in August.

I have finished:
Roman Adventures - Britons Season Two. Very fun!!!  Of course I played in Relaxed Mode 
Picross Hansel and Gretel. Fun, but as the others in this series, a lot of broken achievements (7!)
and a very annoying feature, when you mark a square with X you can't undo it!!!
Path of Sin -Greed CE. Very fun! A real whodunit without any ghosts or supernatural things.
Big City Adventure - Shanghai. Fun!
Amaranthine Voyage - The Burning Sky CE. Fun. The last in this series.
Around the World Mosaics. Very fun, but short, only 80 levels. Very fun fun facts, I was annoying hubby when I was quoting them: you gotta hear this...
Matchmension - House of Mist. Fun. Very long, 250 levels! I was recognizing some of the music and it was from the old game I recently replayed  Secrets of Great Art.I think they thought it was safe to reuse after so many years 

Right now I'm playing Runefall 2 CE and the new Time Twin Mosaics- Haunted Images. 

I was having a senior moment when I talked about Clutter. It was Clutter 1000 I ditched after about 480 levels.

Lilyr I agree with you, I don't like Viking Brothers anymore either.

Back when I was single I easily watched 100-200 movies a year and beat 30-50 games.  But now I have a kid, so ¯_ツ_/¯I feel like the movie part of this challenge is super easy.  

There is no movie part of this challenge.
