Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
No, devs don't influence me to buy or not to buy. I do agree with lots on that little list above. I have found the Dark Parables from Blue Tea to be a little lacking of late (I haven't tried the new one) so they fell from any list I could have written down. Some of the random games are so good. Right now I am playing Black Rainbow and am sucked right into it.
For this sale I picked up Dreampath One Kingdom CE and Dead Reckoning Silvermoon Isle CE. I had two GCCs so no $ outlay.
I do have a PCC to use by August 1, so if anyone needs to get a bonus punch I wouldn't mind trading. I don't need any punches.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Is there any other sale tday besides bonus punch Monday?
I used my 2.99 coupon and got Dead Reckoning: Silvermoon Isle Collector's Edition. That filled my punch card so I'm done shopping for the month. Hoping not to buy anything until the Labor Day Weekend.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I'm still debating buying the 2 CEs -- but only if the code still works! I'm still waiting for MEMORY MANOR. I'm playing the 2nd CLUTTER. At times I enjoy it, other times it can be frustrating.

Oscar, I need either 2 more CEs or 2 SEs to fill cards but I've only just gotten up and haven't yet decided what games I'm going to get - I got 4 CEs yesterday (I'm still using 75% GCCs from last year). If I decide to get 2 SEs I'll swap you a PCC as I don't have any expiring until next month. Mum and I are off to the doc's soon and then shopping after that so I won't know until later. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
Ain't Black Rainbow great????

stusue -- I keep trying to send you a PM. I get it all written and then I get an error that the server can't be found. And then I can't get back in to the site! I'll try again. It's about the hostess gifts.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I had server issues a couple of days ago with this site. lily I saw hostess gifts and thought hey she's giving her cupcakes or twinkies! lol
I did like Black Rainbow, a little short, I think under 3 hours and I did everything, except 1 puzzle. The one with the rotating rings, I got the green and blue lined up for could not get the red lined up. I kept at it for a while but eventually threw in the towel. I did miss one skull. boo. And I played on the challenge level. It had a great map system. I liked how it flashed which map had something available on it. all in all two thumbs up. Wasn't this one you were going to stay away from Lily because there was no WT? If so I say give it a go. The map is great and there is a feature that if you really get stuck would probably be helpful, when you click it it shows you each direction available for you to go in. But even that I don't think you would need as the map has an indicator for available areas.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
There's a soft release on BFG today that has VERY mixed reviews. It's your basic love it or hate it game from what I've read. Some people think it's too slow, others love the fact that there's no help (except the tutorial -- which most people recomend) and that it's a creepy game. Those of you who love a challenge should proably demo WITCHCRAFT: THE LOTUS ELIXIR.

If only!!!!!!! 
And to think Lily's going to be so close to my place and I'm here on the other side of the world! 
ETA: Now that my mum's community nurse has gone I've just realised that I forgot to add that I couldn't get on here at all yesterday! 
It just kept on telling me that it couldn't find the server. 
But it all seems to be working today.

Lily, Witchcraft: The Lotus Elixir was released by GameHouse a few weeks ago. I, unfortunately, couldn't play it. It loaded but would never open as there was a problem. So far GameHouse has been of absolutely no help whatsoever. I just keep on getting replies sending me the link to the page when you have problems, even though I've already told them that I've been right through the list and nothing has helped.
However, the developer, Long Leafs Friends, has added a walkthrough on their site and posted the link at GameHouse. So, if you want a walkthrough, you can find one there.
Mmmmm... I wonder if it would work on my mum's computer... I'll have to see if she'll hand over her computer to see. But I've already hogged it for the past 2 days during the BOGOF.
