Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I've just posted in my demo review thread - and added a link to a way around the major glitch in - a demo review of:
Myths of the World 4: Of Fiends and Fairies CE by Eipix
I recommend the SE if you like the demo and am tending towards the CE myself as it seems to have quite a lot of good extras. However, as there isn't a single review by anyone who's finished the game, and as All About Casual Game hasn't as yet posted a review, I have no idea about the bonus, so I can't as yet recommend the CE.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I had hoped to finish Surface: Reel Life Collector's Edition by now but got distracted playing Mahjong Towers Touch on my iPad. I have 1 chapter plus the bonus chapter left in Surface and hope to finish it tonight. Also played some Jigsaws Galore.
I'm trying not to buy anything this month, so I hope we don't have a true BOGO until July 4th weekend.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Well I have been playing Otherworld Shades of Fall and have finished the main game. I have to say I was bored particularly for the last hour or so. The main game took me 3 hrs 34 mins and that was no skips, no hints and all dialogue. Maybe it has just been my run of really good games but this just seemed very simple to me. there were a couple of puzzles that I thought hmm that's interesting but they didn't seem to up the difficulty level even though the opportunity was there. Some were just dumb. There was one mini that had all these little islands each with a rune marking, and a corresponding ship and a corresponding ship wheel. You had to turn the wheel to have the ships face the island to dock. Yup that was it. Each wheel turned independently and did not affect anything else at all. I will finish the bonus section if I can keep my eyes open long enough. Although it is doubtfully it is very long. My apologies to any fans of this game. (please note I have liked the others in the series. I didn't even think the graphics were up to snuff.

I rec'd a response to my email about the 60% off coupon for dling AK. I was told perhaps it went to spam, it didn't. And here in the meantime is a coupon to reduce the cost of a CE to $11.99. Huh, no I don't think so that's not what was on offer. That is approx $2.25 off the member price, 40% off retail. I told him no, I would like the 60% off coupon please.
Oscar, did you ever hear back from CS? I got a response yesterday, not from the guy I'd sent the email to who'd given me such a great deal last time but from someone new. And, just like last time, I was given the usual CS free SE coupon code. So I wrote back and thanked him for the coupon for a free SE but said that I'd really prefer to get the promotion CC of 60% off any game so that I could use it to get a CE.
I just heard back from the guy and he said that he could totally understand and so sent me a coupon for a free CE !!!! ** thud ** That's even better than the last deal I got! Last time I ended up with coupons for a free SE and a CE for $2.99. This time I ended up with coupons for a free SE and a free CE!
I've totally changed my mind now ... I love these FTP games!

Tirama -- I was all set to go running off to buy CEs when I read your post. Maybe I'll just wait for a real BOGO too. Heck. It's not as if I don't have anything to play!
stusue -- Congrats on the coupons!

I admit that there are some games calling to me, but I'm sticking my fingers in my ears and saying "Nah, nah, can't hear you". I simply must finish some of the games I already own. I wish I hadn't played all the quickies already.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I have my little list of things I want. They'll still be there for the next sale. Meanwhile, maybe I can get some of this huge backlog whittled down.

Oscar, I'm so sorry! 
I normally read everything! How did I miss your post???? 
Or else I did read it and it just went into the black hole that's in between my ears - everything goes in and nothing ever comes back out again.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Yet another 60% off promotion if you download Awakening Kingdoms today! And it's still valid if you already have it on your computer. You just have to uninstall and reinstall it today. I've just done that and will now wait and see if I get the coupon this time! So far it's 4/4 that I haven't received. Although, I must admit, it always turns out better when I don't get it.
ETA: I forgot to ask if anyone actually pays $85 to get stuff in AK. I can understand paying less than a dollar for whatever it is that some of you have bought, but $85???? I can't see any of you paying that but does anyone really pay that sort of cash for a FTP game? 
I understand that that's how they make their money, but still. At least the top $ for today's new FTP is only ... ONLY ... $49. Imagine all the SEs you could get for that sort of money during a BOGOF! I know they only last for a number of hours but I much prefer them and they're all different and not HOG after HOG.
