Hello Fudgechi...Nice to meet you. 

I guess I am like Meg right now with plenty of games started and I am working on them.

Game Manager had a update for Fear for Sale: 13 Keys, so after I updated it I started to play it.

Working on Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper...Had a terrible time knowing what to do with looking for clues on the first victim  Polly Nichols. Had a hard time with the deduction board because I didn't know you had to have Holmes & Watson reenact the crime.  I put the walkthrough on my tablet and kept referring to it just to help me through this part.  Game is good, but you can tell it is older than the The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and the voice acting is not as good.  I think Holmes was voiced by a different man in this one and I much prefer the other guy.

Trying something way different with Alice: Madness Returns...It is a platform game and you also do battle scenes.  Right now I am trying to beat the bolt flies.  Flying objects made out of bolts.  Very weird, but kinda fun.

Awakening Kingdom...In the sunshinej game I just started the Gizmotek Festival Event and in the jasminej game I am waiting for Yura's quest to begin.  I don't know what the trigger is to start it.

 

Hi sunshine, thank you

I'd never heard of GameHouse, I must check it out. Is it cheaper than BFG?

I loved most of the Surface ones but The Pantheon was a disappointment

Now I'm playing Phantasmat: The Endless Night

January was, as usual, another dismal month for me.  I didn't finish anything new.  I am winding down in CLUTTER V but still have a good number of games to play.  Just for something to do I D/L'd MCF: HUNTSVILLE (the first MCF game.  I'd forgotten it was timed!  I must be slowing down.  I had to replay some of the investigations because I ran out of time.  I do remember that the very las one was tough because it had a very short time limit.  I finally finished it.

On a happier note, the only charge from BFG in January was for my GCC! 

I paid for a yearly Funpass at Gamehouse for $69 on sale, usually $99.  You can get monthly for $9.99.  You can play pretty much any of their library of games, even CEs, and you also get a monthly credit to buy a game.  That game is yours to keep, even when/if you quit Funpass.  There are a few games they get before BFG, and lots of BFG exclusives that they never get.  The last couple months they've been releasing some older BFG games that they've never had access to before.
I guess I finished 9 Clues so I'm starting on Dark Dimensions City of Ash.  It has a nice wallpaper with a volcano in the background that I put on right away.

Thanks Tirama.  I did find it interesting.  $100 million to create a Match 3 game?  24 HOPAs released in one year? Yikes!

I think he might have been joking about the $100 million, or maybe was referring to how much he hoped the game would earn.  Even HOPAs never had that kind of budget.  I counted 23 Eipix HOPAs last year.  Close enough.
