I agree about the smilies.  I hate to complain because they're so much better than what we had, but they're still lacking.  They seem to be obsessed with sleeping and sickness.
I finished the main game of New York Mysteries.  The plot had a nice twist in it.  But the ending didn't resolve one of the major plotlines.  I own the SE but I'm playing the PE from GameHouse so I hope the bonus chapter goes into that.
It  has a good map, I didn't bother to figure the lay of the land, I just used the map to jump to where it told me it had something to do.  I skipped a couple puzzles, one was tracing a figure without going over the lines again, this one was complicated!  Another was moving things around, I got it down to only one out of place but I couldn't figure out how to get it where it went so I skipped it.  Decent puzzles,  even the ones w;here you had to copy something out of the journal, the journal wasn't onscreen, you had to look at it and then remember what it showed, so at least that brought it up a notch.  The map shows where there were still collectibles and morphs.  I would recommend the game, and probably the CE over the SE.  I'll try to get the bonus done tomorrow but it is New Year's Eve!!!

oscar...Your game doesn't sound familiar to me.  Was it recently played?   I looked at your list to see if anything jumped out at me.  Nothing did.

oscar -- The game doesn't sound familiar.  Or rather it sounds too familiar.  I know I can't put a name to it though.

I agree about the smilies.  It's nice to have these but there are so many times I can't find just what I'm looking for.  The hug is too happy for a sympathy hug, for example.

Another dismal month for me.  I bought 4 games and only played 3.  But they don't count (as far as I'm concerned) because they were replays. 

  HAPPY NEW YEAR
