Anki...I might have to try out the Nonagram: Wolf Stories.

Oscar...Too true.

I finished Beyond: Light Advent CE   I liked it and thought it was pretty good.  I like Mad Head Games though.  The bonus wasn't necessary to the main game.  It is you saving your friend's home planet.  I like sci-fi and I enjoyed this game.  Are there any other sci-fi games?  I don't seem to recall any  except for going into portals to other worlds which is not quite what I was looking for.

I started Tesla's Tower: The Wardenclyffe Mystery.  A nice game from one of my stockpile.
 

Well I took Stusue's recommendation on Redemption Cemetery At Death's Door CE and played it with everything disabled (except hint and skip, just in case) and the puzzles you could choose on hard.  What a great game! ERS did a bang up job with this one. There were a few times I was left thinking hmm what to do what to do, but kept looking about.  It did have a few things that had sweet spots so even if you thought you'd checked I say double check.  I managed to only "die" once in the gas/oxygen game.  I got all the achievements except the "pick more than you can" cause I didn't know what it was and I missed 3 of the collectable clocks.  The bonus portion took me about 1.5 hours so a nice addition and prequel.  The puzzles weren't difficult but there was some new things and different twists.  Two thumbs up and a big recommendation. 

PS. I replayed all the HOS in extras and I was annoyed I couldn't get 100% in the one that had pairs in it.  It should have been but it gave 15%. A glitch I assume.

Weird. You guys were just all chatting about Agatha Christie games and there's one out today at GameHouse, The ABC murders. It's a Platinum Edition and it's not listed at BFG.  ...  ETA: Just went to d/l Agatha and it was 2600mbs!!!

Wendy, I'm actually downloading it right now!  It's an LFA game by Microids, which gave us games such as Syberia, and was only released this year on 4 February in Europe and 23 February in the US.  I can't believe GH already has it, or even has it at all!  GH certainly isn't known for it's LFA games, although they have both Syberia games.

The following is copied from the game's page on the Microids website, where you can find lots of info re the game, like that they've copied the look of David Suchet for the "pixelated" version of Poirot, as he personified Hercule Poirot unlike any other actor.  Let's hope it's a good game and that there'll be lots of other Agatha Christie games!  They've even added an alternative ending to the book, I suppose for those who've read the book (me) and/or seen the movie (me several times), so they won't know who did it.

ANUMAN INTERACTIVE WINS THE AGATHA CHRISTIE LICENSE TO PRODUCE ADVENTURE GAMES UNDER THE MICROIDS LABEL

Microïds has experience in developping several adventure games that have become references points in the industry, with the Syberia saga as its benchmark. Headed by Elliot Grassiano, they are taking on the challenge of bringing some of the crime novelist’s most iconic stories and detectives, such as Hercule Poirot, to life. This deal promises loads of surprises, twisting plots, quality dialogue and drama, subtle interrogations and unexpected outcomes for the fans. 

The screenshots look great.  They also said that the game has been developed so that casual players as well as experienced players can play the game, with an interactive Help, although if you use it to take you to the next scene you won't get as many Ego points. 

Reading all the info about the game, about the special visuals, etc, it sounds great and I can't wait to play it!  However, by the time it downloads it'll be time for dinner so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play it.  I have so many things to do but stuff it, I wanna play it!


 

Can't believe there's ANOTHER super sale today and tomorrow.  I won't be buying anything.

I'm playing Fantasy Mosaics 15: Ancient Land.  should be finished with it either tonight or tomorrow.  Couple levels where you needed to use a hint or power-up because logic didn't work, but for the most part, logic was enough to finish each board.

I finished Dark Canvas: A Murder Exposed Collector's Edition.  Good story, but I found it somewhat easy to guess who done it and why.  Voice overs were good, but somewhat over the top in places. 

Gimmick in this game was a camera.  It flashed when you needed to take a picture of something, either a clue or a hidden picture.  The clues went into your journal and were used to solve some of the puzzles.

The hidden pictures went into 'The Attic'.  In the bonus section, you access the attic (the achievements were also kept there) and you used the photos to complete pictures which depicted three different events that happened to past owner of the house.  When the pictures were completed, you could read the local gossip about what people thought had happened.  In the bonus chapter, you learn which version of the gossip was true. 

I finally decided on what my monthly challenge is for June.  I want to catch up on the Mystery Case File series.

I've just received my 7th beta game since the 2 June!  That's 7 in 14 days!  6 from BFG and I've just got another one from Artifex Mundi, the 2nd they've sent me in a couple of months!  I think that makes 11 or 12 so far this year! 



I don't have enough time to play them all and then fill out all those surveys, with all the comments I add!



Yesterday I played the latest PuppetShow ... didn't we just get one? ... but I haven't filled out the survey yet.



Tomorrow it's the second Lost Grimoires from Artifex Mundi...
