For those thinking of getting Maze Subject 360 the SE will probably do. The bonus section adds nothing to the story imo and is just repetitive. A waste of approx an hour.

I finished another game -- DREAM DAY WEDDING: VIVA LAS VEGAS. I used to really enjoy these games but this one just seemed tedious. I'm not sorry that the franchise died.

The only game in that series I played was Dream Day True Love. I liked that one. Can't remember whether it had parts that were timed. The timed segments were the reasons I din't get any of the other ones.

Oops! I still have that one to go. I'm glad you liked it. I think most of them can be played untimed. I know this one was. My favorite in the series was FIRST HOUSE. You actually got to (sort of) design your house.

I played Dream Day: Wedding and have 2 more Dream Day games to play. It wasn't bad and I enjoyed it at the time.
I bought a pc cd game 4 pack at a yard sale for .50 cents. It had Robin's Quest: A Legend Born, Escape the Lost kingdom, The Hidden Object Show season 2 and Millionaire Manor on it. I really liked playing Robin's Quest so I thought I would play Escape the Lost Kingdom next. I guess from the reviews it is a short one, but that is all right since it only cost me 12 1/2 cents per game. In chapter 3 right now and liking it okay. I thought it was a neat touch on how the family is in the pyramid and they get split up and you play each character individually and see how they all come together.
Oscar...I take it that you were not very impressed with Maze: Subject 360. I thought it was about as scary as a carnival funhouse. I thought it might be a bit more because of the warning. I still enjoyed it immensely though. Once I started it really kept my interest and I kept playing it to the end.
There was a game that gave me a really good scare. Not once, but twice. It is the LFA Scratches. It has a good story and there is a sense of aloneness in the game. It does have 360, but in the options you can slow down the mouse rate so it won't go so fast. I don't feel sick from 360 games, so you might not be interested in this one.

I've made it to chapter 4 (of 5) in Off The Record: Liberty Stone Collector's Edition.
Had a bit of a scare last night. I could move around the game, Iknew what needed to be done next, I even checked the strategy guide and BF forum to see if I was doing teh right thing, but the game just wouldn't allow me to get what I needed.
This morning when I started the game up, I tried again, and no problem. Glad I'll get to finish and won't have to write to CS complaining.

BF announced yesterday that 5 more free to play games will no longer be updated: Found, Agency 33, Nightfall: An Edgar Allan Poe Mystery, My Singing Monsters, and Pachinko Pop.
This announcement comes exactly 3 months after the announcment regarding Awakening Kingdom and American Road Trip. Looks like BF does a review every 3 months, and if a game isn't generating enough revenue, it's game over.
The cancellation of Found is teh most interesting because that game is developed by Elephant Games. On theirFacebook page, Elephant is advertising for android and iOS programmers. Also, Elephant will not be developing the Mystery Case File game this year (it's being done by Eipix).
Is Elephant about to follow in BoomZap's footsteps?

Re Elephant -- possibly Tirama. We've lost several DEVs in the past 2 years. I haven't seen a thing from Gogii Games in quite a while. Since tablets are getting to be a decent size maybe DEVs figure they don't need to be tied to BFG anymore. I still can't see me playing a HOPA on a tablet or, especially, a cellphone.

Sun - ya my expectations were pretty high for Maze, possibly to the point of disservice to the game. It just didn't reach the bar I had set for it.
I started playing Legends of the East Cobras Eye last night. So far it's pretty decent. It's from my oldies list. I've been waiting for you all to congratulate me on finally finishing Castle after bein on my list for months! Lol
Thankfully T, I only ever got into Township, the Playrix game and we seem to get updates fairly regularly. It isn't an HO or quest game though, more a builder and farming sort of thing. I'm not sure how many players there is. Even the MCF wasn't a big draw for me.

oscar -- I would have congratulated you on CASTLE if I'd seen it. The last I knew you were still slogging away.
sunshinej -- I thought ESCAPE THE LOST KINGDOM sounded good too, but there were a lot of negative reviews. Probably the "too easy" "we've seen it before" kind. I just looked and I never bought it. Can't go too wrong for 12 1/2 cents! I have THE HIDDEN OBJECT SHOW COMBO PACK. I played the first HOS but dex'd the 2nd about 1/2 way in. The mc was annoying and it seemed that a lot of the things were repetitive.
