I do recommend that anyone give Dark Realm Queen of Flames a demo. imo it was a very good game. Varied and lots to do. Great artwork for the most part. They only thing that made me go huh was the accent used especially on you as the heroine, it was very odd slipping in and out of a brough. The others were pretty good but she was weird.
I started Shtriga Summer Camp, one of my GH ones that I keep forgetting about. It is a little old school in appearance but nice graphics all the same. The storyline is interesting and I'm enjoying the casual pace of the game even on expert. Expert is only a slow refill and no sparkle indicators. But it is easy to find the active areas. No voiceovers, so some reading involved but not a lot.
Wendy you never mentionned Taken Souls crashing prior, is there maybe an updated version? I think I have it from BFG. I'm looking forward to this game I hope I have no issue. The 9 Clues games were pretty good.

Well unfortunately I'm going to have to trash this game. It was working fine but when I went back into it all the text had disappeared. I'd rather not click on every object in a HO scene to see if its one of the items. I think I'm probably about 2/3 done so I have zero desire to reload.

I've been getting similar, Oscar. I have the words but there's no objects in part of some of the HOs. I'm playing 9 Clues Serpent Creek. I really like it otherwise. I can find most of the things then I use the hint and it shows me an empty space but the item is there when I click it. I'm almost done, I quit for awhile and I'm hoping it plays correctly the rest of the way. I've been rotating 9 Clues with Queen's Garden 2 M3. I was a good way through it at home, when I started on the laptop I chose Timed and it's been fine so far, only had to replay 2 boards.

I've finished 9 Clues. I liked it alright although I was bored by the end and hinted my way through. I'm playing the bonus chapter of Paranormal State Poison Spring, didn't realize it had one. The main game was good, bonus chapter we're back 2 months later to help reopen the exhibit. I think this is based on a TV show, the voiceovers and characters are really good.

If anybody is interested, today is a bonus punch day. I'm not getting anything, so I don't know whether BF is handing out double bonus punches like the last time.

Thanks for the info T. I think I'm done for the month as well. One dangling punch.
I started Forgotten Books the Enchanted Crown last night. It is a typical ERS game, but one I am quite enjoying so far.

I started Fright last night. I'm loving it. There's film clips with real actors, they're not the greatest but it works ok. The HO scenes are fantastic. I did one in a police car and everything you found furthered the plot, and the HO had minigames in it. If only it didn't have the cliche "dreaded dark fog". I feel sorry for the game I'll play after this one cause it's going to be a letdown, probably.
In Queen's Garden I've gotten access to all the garden stuff but the game seems to just keep going, I'm around level 150 I think. I really like it because of the bonus for making a vertical and horizontal match, you can use it to take out all of certain tile. Some boards have areas you can't get to and you have to get the right bonus on the board and then have it in the right row or column to hit the thing you can't get to, takes a lot of timing and manipulating, but the timer is fairly generous although I've had to replay several boards quite a few times, but I like that, I like the challenge. But it gets my adrenaline going and I'm up all night, "Just one more board, okay, just one more, then I'll go to sleep, well, just one more".
I've also started The Mystery of Unicorn Castle, a newer, glitzier one just came out so I wanted to play the older one first. It's really oldstyle, which was alright for a change. A bunch of dialogue on the screen, then you go to a room and do an HO. It's the kind of list where they add items as you find them, and the items are kinda small, blurry, and seem far away, so it's really hard. There's some kind of ghosts you have that leave if you get too many penalties. Some things in the HO are locked so you do a little minipuzzle to open them. I ended up quitting after I got 3 'place the gears' puzzles in a row, don't know if I'll go back for more.

I finished the main game of Dead Reckoning: Brassfield Manor Collector's Edition. I hope to play the bonus chapter tomorrow. That will mean I've finished 3 CE's this month. Can't remember the last time I did that.
I really like this series so I'm glad to see there's a beta for the 3rd one.

I bought a few bfg games for android for a buck each. I just tried to play one, European mystery face of envy, and it totally sucks doing it touchscreen. There's no cursor to change when you mouse over something ad I only have a 7 inch tablet so e erything is so small.

Hi guys!
So, this weekend's sale is yet another CE sale, this time for $8.99.
Code : CE899
What is it with all these sales lately, ever since they cancelled BP Mondays (although they seem to keep on having them)? I wonder if there'll be another BPM this Monday?
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
I just hope the emoticons show properly when I post this as my laptop is still in the hospital having surgery and so I'm typing this on my Kindle Fire and the emoticons aren't showing up as I type.
Yippee! Just did a preview and they're showing.
